10 Wrestlers That Natalya Is Friends With In The Wrestling Business

Professional wrestling is a competitive sport and that is something that can bring the best and worst out of people, which can at times make it hard for people in the business to become genuine friends. However, Natalya is one of the most well-respected wrestlers in the industry due to her commitment to the sport, her family legacy, and the fact she's a veteran.

Natalya has been around in WWE for a long time now and throughout that time she has seen the roster change dramatically. She's been able to meet many talents and during that time she's created some true friendships with wrestlers that mean a lot to her.

10 Lana

Lana may no longer be in WWE, but she is someone that had a great friendship with Natalya and that has continued since she was released as they still get to hang out. Lana would spend time going to Natalya's house regularly as friends which was something people got to see on "Total Divas."

Their friendship blossomed from Lana's desire to become a better wrestler, and while Natalya worked hard with her to improve those skills, they got to know each other and just spent a lot of time with one another.

One of the most obvious wrestlers that Natalya is friends with is Tyson Kidd who she has known from a young age when they were both training to become stars in the business. They achieved their dreams of reaching WWE together and got to work side by side on-screen, with fans learning all about their closeness via reality television.

They are happily married and have become a popular wrestling couple in the eyes of fans. While the focus might be on their romantic interest together, there's no doubt that at their core they're also just great friends.

8 Big E

Big E is someone that everybody in wrestling seems to get along with as he brings tons of positivity and fun not just on-screen for the fans but backstage as well. He is someone that Natalya is close with, and the two of them often get to hang out just as friends.

Natalya likes Big E so much that she attempted to set him up with her sister, showcasing how highly she thinks of him. Even though that plan didn't work out, the two are still very close friends.

7 Tamina

Natalya and Tamina are the two veterans of the women's division in WWE and having spent so long together coupled with the fact that both of them are from historic wrestling families gives them plenty in common. It's something that has led to them growing a great friendship and that is something that has stuck.

They even got to enjoy a run as Women's Tag Team Champions together which is something that solidified their bond even more and allowed fans to see their connection.

6 Titus O'Neil

Titus O'Neil might not be the first person that people think of when it comes to who Natalya might be friends with from the wrestling business, but the two of them have been very close for many years. O'Neil often hangs out with Natalya away from shows, proving just how close they've become.

A big reason they get along so well is the fact that they're two of the nicest people in the industry and that is a connection that they have shared. Their friendship is one that both of them have spoken about regularly, showcasing just how much they mean to each other.

5 R-Truth

R-Truth's friendship with Natalya is another that fans will have witnessed during her time on "Total Divas," as the former 24/7 Champion was regularly seen visiting her house when parties were being thrown. They are two of veterans in WWE, so it's not a big surprise that they have become good friends over the years.

Even though Truth is genuinely terrified of her cats, which are very important to Natalya, he was still seen going around to her house and hanging out backstage at shows, proving what great friends they've become.

4 The Great Khali

The Great Khali spent a long time working alongside Natalya in what was a fairly fun and carefree gimmick for both of them. However, it's something that ended up bringing them together as close friends in real life, making quite an unexpected friendship.

They're not two wrestlers that most people would instantly put together, but Khali and Natalya gained a lot of respect for one another and have always spoken highly of the other in interviews since retiring.

3 Beth Phoenix

One of the closest friends that Natalya has made in the wrestling business is Beth Phoenix, with the two of them having been excellent rivals and brilliant partners as well. They became close because their styles were similar and they were truly pushing women's wrestling at a time when the roster had many women only focused on the entertainment aspect.

That drew them together and their bond has continued ever since. Natalya was the person who inducted Phoenix into WWE's Hall Of Fame, showcasing just how much respect exists between them.

2 Ronda Rousey

Natalya has played a pivotal role in Ronda Rousey's transition into the wrestling world due to their friendship which has existed for a long time. Because Natalya is such an experienced wrestler that is highly respected by management and other wrestlers, she was given the chance to train Rousey at times.

That opportunity was something that worked well for helping Rousey develop quickly and the two of them got to interact on television as well. It led to a genuine bond being created between them that has been great to see.

1 The Bella Twins

Natalya was on the WWE roster throughout The Bella Twins' entire run with the company and that is something that has created a genuine connection between them over the years. They spent a lot of time in the ring together either as rivals or partners, and it's that's the type of situation where friendships tend to thrive.

Considering that they also got to travel the world away from WWE as part of "Total Divas," the three of them were often with each other on their days off as well which created a friendship that still lasts to this day.
