The contract status of one member of the WWE Monday Night Raw brand has been a topic of discussion, and there is an update.
WWE veteran Natalya has been with the top wrestling company since her developmental days in 2007. She made her main roster debut in 2008 and has developed into a surefire WWE Hall of Famer down the road.

Natalya and WWE Reportedly in Talks for Contract Extension
Fightful reports that WWE has reached out to Natalya in hopes of getting a new deal done. Not many are likely to find the news surprising given that Natalya has been crucial in helping developmental talent through her appearances and matches on the WWE NXT brand. While Natalya remains a member of the WWE Raw brand, Chief Content Officer, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, has sent several main roster talents to NXT due to the experience factor.
Natalya has been feuding with Lola Vice and Shayna Baszler on NXT, but she may have to find a new rival if she continues making appearances on the show. During this past Tuesday's episode, Natalya and Karmen Petrovic defeated Vice and Baszler in a tag team match. After the match, Vice attacked Shayna and the two ended up brawling to close the show.
