Natalya Neidhart is adding another historic accolade to her legendary resume—and this time, she’s breaking ground for the entire wrestling industry.
The Cauliflower Alley Club announced that Natalya will receive the prestigious Lou Thesz Award at its 2025 reunion, set to take place August 18–20 at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. This makes her the first female professional wrestler to ever receive the honor. The CAC shared the news with a powerful tribute to her legacy:
“A true trailblazer. A record-breaker. A history-maker. The Cauliflower Alley Club proudly announces that Natalya Neidhart will receive the Lou Thesz Award at this year’s reunion—making her the first female professional wrestler ever to earn this prestigious honor.”
“From technical excellence to her lasting impact across generations, Natalya’s legacy continues to elevate the entire wrestling industry.
Natalya, who is still under WWE contract, has recently been competing outside the company as well, making appearances in NWA and Bloodsport while continuing to represent the Hart family legacy at the highest level.
She now joins a list of elite names in pro wrestling who’ve received the Lou Thesz Award, a recognition reserved for those who’ve made lasting contributions inside and outside the ring.
This honor not only cements her status as one of WWE’s most accomplished veterans—it rewrites history in a space long dominated by male recipients.
