On a related note, there has been a lot of internal speculation that Natalya may leave the company when her current WWE contract expires, due to the situation with husband Tyson Kidd being unable to wrestle. It should be noted that this is just speculation among people in the company and there’s been no solid word on Natalya looking to leave but people do expect her to go.
