Congratulations to WWE Superstar Natalya

WWE Superstar Natalya will be receiving a major honor soon. The veteran was not in action last night at Money in the Bank at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

The Cauliflower Alley Club has announced that Natalya Neidhart will be presented with the Lou Thesz Award in August. The RAW star will be receiving the award at the CAC Reunion at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. You can check out the announcement in the Instagram post below.

"A true trailblazer. A record-breaker. A history-maker. The Cauliflower Alley Club proudly announces that Natalya Neidhart will receive the Lou Thesz Award at this year’s reunion—making her the first female professional wrestler ever to earn this prestigious honor. From technical excellence to her lasting impact across generations, Natalya’s legacy continues to elevate the entire wrestling industry. Congratulations, Nattie!"

The veteran competed in a Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifying match last month on RAW against Roxanne Perez and Becky Lynch. Perez qualified for the Women's MITB Ladder match but came up short at the PLE last night. Naomi won the Women's ladder bout and can cash in for a title shot at any time over the next year.

Natalya praises major WWE RAW star

Natalya recently spoke highly of Rhea Ripley, noting that she was great to work with on WWE RAW.

Rhea Ripley also competed in the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match last night but was unable to capture the briefcase. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, the former champion praised The Eradicator and stated that she understood how to connect with wrestling fans.

"She knows, she understands that less is more, which is what a lot of the top stars understand. It's about your face, it's about your energy, it's about your vibe. So she is just so great to work, she is just so easy to work with. I love working with her." [From 01:57 onwards]

It will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for the 43-year-old moving forward.
