Ross Hart recently confirmed that Natalya has extended her contract with WWE. As per reports from July, Natalya had entered into a fresh agreement after taking a break during the summer months.
In a conversation with Darren Paltrowitz, Ross Hart confirmed the renewal of Natalya’s contract while also discussing whether a fourth-generation member from the Hart family line was currently active in the business.
Highlights of this insightful discussion have been summarized below:
Discussing the presence of a fourth-generation Hart family member in wrestling, Ross Hart said, “Yes, there is a fourth generation, but none have stepped into the ring so far. Fourth-generation nephews Dallas and Blade are organizing Dungeon Pro Wrestling events, with Bret’s assistance. However, they are not entering the ring; they’re more into promoting shows. The only one I can think of is my nephew, Matthew Smith’s son, a performer who would have represented the third generation. Now, as fourth-generation nephews and nieces begin to have their own children, I would not be surprised if some of them choose to take up wrestling in the future.”
Speaking about how the current generation of the Hart family inspires the next, Ross Hart mused, “In my opinion, there’s really something quite captivating about following in the footsteps of either their parents, grandparents, or even aunts and uncles, like in the case of Bret and Owen and Ellie’s kids and my nephew Ted and TJ and Harry. The trajectory will be interesting to observe. At present, Harry is flourishing in Japan and Natalya has just re-signed with the WWE. Meanwhile, Ted is grappling all over, working independently for most part.”
