WWE Superstar Natalya Neidhart, also known as Nattie, once had a habit of frequently being in the locker room without any clothes on, according to retired wrestler Brandi Rhodes. Rhodes shared the anecdote on her show "A Shot of Brandi," recalling how Neidhart would stand naked with her phone and even offer wrestling advice in that state.
"When I was in the locker room with you back, this is so long ago... Back in the day. You were always naked," Rhodes said to Neidhart on the show. "She would have her phone, be totally naked... But it was like F-ing with everybody. Just to be like 'my physique is so great. Just look at it.'"
When asked to explain her behavior, Neidhart, a third-generation wrestler and daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, offered a direct response. "Listen, I think it was because, why I probably was naked in the locker room, is because if you’re built in the front and stacked in the back, you may as well just let it all hang out," she stated.
Rhodes suggested that Neidhart's openness about her physique was characteristic of wrestling during certain eras, where a lack of clothing could be used to tell a story and connect with an audience authentically.
Neidhart recounted a specific instance where her nudity led to an awkward moment while she was coaching another wrestler, Eve Torres. "Poor Eve Torres. I was going over a match with her once, and I was trying to correct her on some forearms," Neidhart recalled. "I was like, 'You've got to throw your hips into it. Every kind of sport, it’s all coming from the [hips]. 'And Eve’s like, 'Nattie, put something on.'"
