Following the death of her father Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, former Smackdown Women’s champion Nattie Neidhart released a statement.

“I can’t put into words how hard it is going to be for myself and our family to have to say goodbye to my dad. He meant he world to us, and nothing will ever replace the special times we shared together as a family,” Nattie wrote on Twitter. “My dad was always a fighter and an incredibly special person. There was no one like him! I’m just gonna miss him so much. We are going to hold all of the moments we had with him close to our hearts forever and never let them go. I promise to keep your memory alive. We love you so much, Daddy!”

Nattie then thanked everyone on behalf of her family for the outpouring of thoughts and prayers. “It’s meant so much to us,” she concluded.

Nattie was supposed to be on Raw yesterday to take on Alexa Bliss with Ronda Rousey in her corner but that obviously did not happen.
