Natalya's The Last Hart Beating details family and WWE career

WWE veteran Natalya will publish her autobiography, The Last Hart Beating, on Tuesday, October 28, and she used interviews this week to clarify how the book came together, describe its personal subjects and promotion, and push back on reports that she made the book a condition of re-signing with WWE. The 288-page memoir, which features a foreword by Dwayne Johnson and a preface by Bret Hart, chronicles her Hart family roots, two decades in WWE, the death of Owen Hart, her husband TJ Wilson’s career-ending injury, and the rise of women’s wrestling. A multi-city book tour across the United States and Canada begins the day of release.

Natalya said the idea of the book was part of contract conversations but was never presented as a take-it-or-leave-it demand. “There was no demands. It was just a conversation,” she said, adding that WWE has been supportive of the project, assisting with archival photos and promotion. She described her motivation for pressing for a new deal as a desire to grow personally and professionally, and said company leadership, including Triple H, helped her find the right path rather than rushing a storyline.
