WWE Superstar Natalya recently spoke with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport to discuss the passing of her father, the late Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart.
During the interview, the “Queen of Hearts” revealed that Vince McMahon was the first person she called following her dad’s passing.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On calling Vince McMahon after her father passed away: “The very first person I called when my dad passed away was Vince McMahon. I was supposed to do a show that night, and I said to Vince, I said, ‘I’m so sorry, I can’t do the show. My dad just died.’ And Vince was just like, so wonderful. He really made sure that I always felt like I had a person to turn to, especially him, way outside of work.”
On how she was always able to turn to Vince McMahon: “You know, I was always able to turn to him for that, and then four days later, after my dad’s funeral, Vince wanted me to like, be there with Ronda. So, the day after I buried my dad, I made sure to be there for Ronda at SummerSlam because I really wanted to be there for her, and like, Vince knew that would help get my mind off of things.”
Jim Neidhart was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2019.
