43-year-old WWE Superstar is a better wrestler than Charlotte Flair, according to Mark Henry

A 43-year-old WWE Superstar has been deemed better than Charlotte Flair by Mark Henry. The Queen is one of the most decorated stars in the promotion and has been lauded for her in-ring ability and mic work for years.

However, according to the WWE Hall of Famer, one talent stands out from the rest currently, and it is none other than Natalya. The former SmackDown Women's Champion has been making a name for herself this year, competing outside WWE.

The Queen of Harts has competed at GCW's Bloodsport twice and recently wrestled at AAA's Triplemania, challenging for the Reina de Reinas Championship. She has brought a more intense style of wrestling outside the sports entertainment juggernaut, which has impressed Henry.

During an appearance on the No Holds Barred podcast, Henry talked about how Natalya is the best female wrestler currently.

WWE has no future plans for Rhea? Here's why!

"There’s not one female wrestler in the world that [sic] could work better than her. Not one, including Charlotte Flair, who [sic] I hold as the best female entertainer of all time. Micrphone, looks, athletic ability, wrestling prowess, she doesn’t have a weakness. She’s the best that ever did it. Nattie is right there, right now. It’s a travesty not to use her," Henry said.

Natalya, wrestling under the name Nattie outside WWE, has been a force to be reckoned with. She has racked up two wins in shoot-style wrestling at Bloodsport and has given herself a makeover as far as her persona goes.

She recently competed against Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch on RAW, but ended up submitting to the Dis-Arm-Her hold.

Charlotte Flair won the Women's Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam

Charlotte Flair has been associated with the main event scene in the women's division ever since her arrival on the main roster. Hence, it was a surprise when she was paired with another veteran in Alexa Bliss, as the duo went after the Women's Tag Team Championship.

After a failed attempt at the Evolution Premium Live Event, they were able to win the title at SummerSlam, defeating The Judgment Day's Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.

The new champions might have a challenge on their hands already, as they were laid out by The Secret Hervice last week. Fans have enjoyed seeing Charlotte Flair in this new avatar as she explores a new side to her in WWE.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
