Natalya Earns Guinness World Record for Most Submission Victories in WWE History

Natalya has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records for recording the most submission victories in WWE history, adding a landmark achievement to an already decorated career.

The former Women’s Champion, known widely as Nattie, has spent nearly two decades in WWE building a legacy rooted in technical wrestling. The Sharpshooter — her signature submission hold and a nod to her family’s storied Hart wrestling lineage — has been central to her in-ring identity throughout her run with the company, and now that style of wrestling has earned her a place in the record books in the most official way possible.

The Guinness recognition puts an institutional stamp on what fans have long understood: Natalya is one of the most accomplished in-ring performers in WWE’s women’s division, not just historically, but across the entire history of the company regardless of gender. Longevity alone doesn’t earn a Guinness record — consistent, finishing-quality submission wins over the course of a career do, and Nattie has delivered them across countless matches on Raw, SmackDown, and pay-per-view.

For a performer who comes from wrestling royalty — she is the niece of Bret Hart and the daughter of Jim Neidhart — the achievement feels like another chapter in a family story that has defined professional wrestling for generations. With this Guinness recognition now official, Natalya’s place among WWE’s all-time greats is no longer just a matter of opinion.
