Natalya is arguably one of the biggest superstars WWE has ever produced. She has been working in the company since 2007 and is currently the longest-serving active female star. During her time in Vince McMahon’s company, Bret Hart's niece has lifted both the WWE Divas Championship and the WWE SmackDown Women's title. Recently, the 38-year-old took to Twitter and revealed that she has competed in a mind-boggling 1,360 matches. She wrote that she’s feeling like baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr who has played 2,632 games in his 16-year-long career.
