Natalya is one of the WWE's longest-tenured athletes currently, but she is someone who is constantly overlooked because she doesn't fit in with the usual "diva" image that WWE is looking for even though she is one of the most consistent performers that the company has at their disposal. Nattie is one of the best technical wrestlers in the Women's Division, if not the best. She is the only female graduate from the Hart Family Dungeon and someone who has already bagged herself a Divas and SmackDown Women's Championship reign, during her lengthy tenure with WWE.

Aside from The Bella Twins, Natalya is the only other woman who has been part of the entire seven seasons of Total Divas so far as one of the main cast members and is always a consistent fixture behind the scenes, with reports that she often heads to the Performance Centre to help train the next generation of female wrestlers in WWE.

Even though Natalya has been consistently underrated and overlooked throughout her career, she is still one of the most talented and beautiful women in the world, which is why the following list looks at 18 images of The Queen of Black Harts that show why she is still everyone's favourite female wrestler.

18 Posed Perfection

Natalya rarely ever shows off her legs, it isn't something that she has ever been known for, so over the past few years she has made the conscious decision to opt for ring attire that covers up her legs. Many of the women have done this like Bayley and Mickie James, but Nattie is someone that turned her attire into something completely different.

There was a time when she was able to do beach photoshoots like many of the other women in WWE, but ever since the Women's Revolution became a global thing, the women aren't forced to be part of these kinds of shoots anymore. This just means that we will have to look back and admire the old ones instead.

17 Workout Queen

Natalya is all muscle, she's one of the strongest women in the division and the most technically gifted female wrestler in the company right now. The Queen of Black Harts didn't get this way by chance, it's because she spends a long time in the gym practising her craft and even spends her time at the Performance Centre helping to train the net generation of women as well.

Natalya looks incredible, she isn't as skinny as the women that WWE likes to sign and she doesn't need to show off her body as much. She has gained pure muscle and actually looks like a woman who could step in the ring against a man, which is something that none of the other women in the company, except Ronda Rousey can say for themselves right now.

16 Ripped

Nattie is the most technically gifted female wrestler in WWE right now, even Charlotte can't touch her when it comes to her technical ability, but the one thing that holds Natalya back is the fact that she isn't very good on the mic. It's hard to be an all-round performer but Nattie has focused so much of her lift on her craft, that her promo ability has been left behind.

There aren't many female wrestlers in WWE who are good on the mic, but what she lacks in vocal talent she more than makes up for in the ring and as the above image shows, she puts in the hours at the gym and at the Performance Centre to ensure that she can always deliver in the ring.

15 Black Beauty

Natalya and The Hart Family as a whole have become known for wearing pink as their wrestling attire over the past few decades. Natalya has been able to spice this up a little bit with some of her outfits, but she is still not in a position where she is able to be as adventurous as some of the other women.

The above image shows that when Nattie wants to, she can dress to impress, but in the ring she prefers to ensure that there is no chance of a wardrobe malfunction and that she always looks incredible. Nattie has begun switching up her attire over the past few months so maybe she will go back to wearing shorts again in the near future, they seemed to suit her a lot more than her current attire.

14 Stunning In Black

There are a number of images online of Natalya when she was part of photo shoots in WWE and compared to the kind of images she shares of herself, she is much more comfortable when she isn't expected to pose in front of a generic background in order to present herself as part of a holiday celebration.

Natalya is older than many of the other women in WWE right now and she's reached the point now where she doesn't need to do that, she's popular enough without pushing images of herself out to the WWE Universe. The above image also shows that she doesn't need to take her clothes off to prove that she's stunning, she is one of the very few women who is beautiful enough to be able to just pose.

13 Off The Wall

Much like many of the other women in WWE over the past few years, Nattie has taken part in her fair share of photoshoots. They don't occur as often these days, but it's another thing that the company forced the women to do throughout the "Diva" era.

Skirts are not something that Natalya is seen in very often, so even though this seems as though it's a forced photo shoot, it's perhaps the only time the WWE Universe will ever be able to see Natalya showing off her stunning thighs in a skirt. It definitely makes the whole thing worth it, even if it isn't factually accurate.

12 Hart Attack

Photoshoots are something that every woman in WWE has to do. Even though Natalya has always been a cut above the average WWE Diva that the company has employed, Nattie has still been forced into the same kinds of jobs as these women.

Nattie has been overlooked for most of her career because of the fact that she doesn't look like your average "Diva" but when it comes to photoshoots Nattie is also on a much higher level than the other women in the company as you can in this photo shoot that was supposed to show what Nattie did on her day off. When Nattie isn't in her ring attire, she looks much more comfortable.

11 Stunning Smile

Instagram and Social Media are things that have become worldwide trends in the time that Natalya has been in WWE. Nattie has had to learn to use these social media sites over the past few years as interactions with fans is now much easier than it ever was when her uncle Bret Hart was performing.

Natalya's Instagram page is perhaps one of the best examples of why Instagram was invented because she looks much more comfortable in these stunning images that she does in the ones that she's part of for WWE's cameras. There are two sides to Nattie and it's great to be able to see her happy outside of the ring, especially since she looks this beautiful when she shows off that stunning smile.

10 Content Queen

As a heel, the WWE Universe is rarely ever able to see Nattie smile on WWE TV and when she does it's usually a smirk more than it is a smile. It's sad since Natalya shows here that she has an incredible smile and one that would definitely light up the WWE ring if she was able to show it off.

Natalya has been a face before, but right now the company need her to be seen as a heel and at Fastlane this worked out well for her since she was on the right side of a victory for her team alongside Carmella. Hopefully, this will lead towards something for Natalya at WrestleMania in a few weeks time, since The Queen of Black Harts definitely deserves a place on the card.

9 Poised Queen

Natalya has been with WWE now for more than a decade when she first came through the ranks and into WWE the women were still seen as eye candy and weren't treated as though their Championships actually meant anything.

Nattie is one of the women who has pushed for the company to take them seriously over the past few years and now finally she has a Divas Championship and a SmackDown Women's Championship on her list of achievements in her career. Even though Nattie is someone who wants to be taken seriously as a competitor, she is still seen as one of the most beautiful women in the world, which is why she's perfect for WWE, it's like the company hit the jackpot when they signed the only female graduate of the Hart Family Dungeon.

8 Solid Stance

Natalya isn't someone who has been in a lengthy storyline on WWE in the past few years, she wasn't SmackDown Women's Champion for very long before Charlotte took the title away and since then she has been floating around backstage with no real aim.

Despite this, Natalya has spent a lot of her time in the gym pushing herself and trying to get better, just in case WWE needs someone to step into a feud, so she's ready. Nattie showed off a number of images of herself in the gym in a WWE.com photoshoot a few years ago and there are probably a lot of male members of the WWE Universe trying to find out where Natalya works out now in the hopes of gaining just a glimpse of her regime.

7 Lifeguard

It's not very often that you're able to get a glimpse of Natalya in a two piece but the former SmackDown Women's Champion is able to show her body off much more on Total Divas than she does on WWE TV. Nattie is the only WWE star aside from The Bella Twins who has been part of every single season of the E! Network show.

Nattie has been a main cast member over the past seven seasons and has even been able to have her wedding on the show. Her part in the show always means that she is on TV even if it isn't WWE TV and she comes across as a mother figure for the younger group of women which is actually quite admirable.

6 Queen Of Black Harts

Natalya is obviously known as the Queen of Hearts, and she lives up to her title in her absolutely beautiful ring gear. She loves to show it off on Instagram, as well as from time to time in photoshoots with WWE.com. She was part of a recent shoot for Halloween that definitely got many fans excited for the holiday.

All of the women on the roster would be part of photo shoots that would be made to look spooky to celebrate one of the best holidays of the year and one of the best reasons that the women of WWE have to dress up. Even though Nattie doesn't wear dresses often when she does, she definitely picks the ones that look the best on her, maybe black really is her colour.

5 Young Nattie

Natalya made her WWE debut a decade ago last month when she introduced herself as the daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and instantly became a heel. Since then Nattie has been through a number of different characters and gimmicks which include one of the most embarrassing of her career when she was struggling with flatulence.

There are a number of images of Nattie floating around from her early career and she hasn't changed all that much in the past 10 years as the former Divas Champion seems as though she is perpetually young. This image shows Natalya a few years after she first debuted in WWE and she has only changed slightly since this was taken, but it's a shot that is easily able to capture her real beauty.

4 Dominatrix

As already mentioned, Natalya has definitely switched her attire up a few times over the past decade and the self-entitled Cat Lady has now settled on an outfit that makes her look like a dominatrix. She confessed on Total Divas a few years ago that there was even talk of her having a whip to go with her outfit, which means that this is exactly what she intended it to look like.

The best part about this attire is that Nattie has been able to switch it up a number of times while still wearing the same kind of thing. Nattie is one of the most popular female wrestlers in WWE right now and her obsession with leather could be one of the main reason for this.

3 Unique Attire

It's not often that Nattie is seen out of her family's famous pink or black so when she debuted this attire a few years ago fans took note. Nattie as a face was always able to show off her much more colourful side, but as a heel she is forced to dress quite dark.

The cropped top and trousers was always a much better look for Nattie, but she had now opted to wear a full black suit where she is unable to show off the incredible body that she has been working on ever since she was first able to step into a WWE ring. Many fans would prefer for this attire to return, as much as the one she has right now is unique, this one looks like it gives Nattie much more freedom.

2 Wonder Woman

Nattie doesn't dress up very often, but when she does she does straight for the strongest female possible as Wonder Woman. To many women in the WWE and around the world, Nattie could easily be seen as Wonder Woman. She juggles life on the road and being part of Total Divas so well and she's happy to help train the next generation of women that she knows will replace her on the brand someday.

Nattie has had a lot of setbacks in her career over the past decade with WWE constantly overlooking her talent in favour of women who are much easier on the eye but through it all Nattie has remained positive and always come out on top, which shows her true character.

1 Youthful Glow

There was once a time more than a decade ago that Natalya was seen as another woman on the WWE roster. This was a time when the annual Diva Search was still a huge deal and the women of WWE always had to seem available and beautiful.

It's obvious that Nattie is a lot younger here, but even back then she was able to fit in well with women that she was always much more superior to. Nattie's youthful glow is the reason that this image stands out so much and the fact that there aren't many images of the former Champion rolling around on the beach in a swim suit. Natalya has definitely changed over the past decade and WWE has changed alongside her.
