Natalya&#8216;s father Jim &#8220;The Anvil&#8221; Neidhart passed away ahead of SummerSlam this year and it was previously reported that this forced WWE to change a number of their future plans for Natalya.&nbsp;



The Queen of Harts was originally supposed to turn on Ronda Rousey and would be battling her at TLC this weekend, but the company thought it was too insensitive to turn her heel just after her father&#8217;s passing. Instead WWE have pushed her into a storyline with The Riott Squad, who have made light of his death.&nbsp;

Over the past few weeks, Sarah Logan, Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan have made insensitive comments towards Natalya and her father, which has led to backlash from the WWE Universe, but the former Women&#8217;s Champion has defended the inclusion of her father in her current storyline.&nbsp;



Nattie recently spoke to Yahoo Sports where she was able to confirm that she thinks her father would support her current storyline.&nbsp;

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“A lot of people have asked me, girls that I work with backstage, other superstars, people at home, if I’m OK with this storyline and how do I feel about it. For me, this is what is going on in my life, this is the elephant in the room.”</blockquote>

Natalya also opened up about the fact that Total Divas cameras followed her around her father&#8217;s funeral, something that she found therapeutic throughout her grieving process.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“In some weird way, this storyline has been strangely therapeutic because anything I’m feeling I can get it out. If I need to cry, I can get it out. I can let everybody see it, hear it and I can take the WWE universe on this journey with me. I need to speak the truth and I need to remind the world that my dad was a WWE star, he was special and everyone can feel that with me.”</blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“On Sunday, it is going to be one of my most powerful performances and it’s going to be for my dad.” </blockquote>
