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

Natalya Neidhart has added another Guinness World Record to her already impressive list of accolades. The veteran WWE star announced on social media that she has officially been recognized by Guinness World Records for recording the most submission victories of any man or woman in WWE history.

Natalya shared the news herself, writing, “A new Guinness World Record from @GWR today: most submission wins of any man or woman in WWE history. The Sharpshooter has beaten the best of the…” — a fitting tribute to the finishing hold that has defined much of her in-ring career. The Sharpshooter, a move she inherited from her legendary uncle Bret Hart, has been her calling card since her debut on the main roster, and it’s now officially the most successful submission finisher in WWE history by wins.

This isn’t the first time Natalya has been recognized by Guinness. The Hart family member has accumulated multiple records throughout her long tenure with the company, cementing her place as one of the most accomplished women in WWE’s history. Her longevity and consistency in the ring are a big part of what makes this particular record meaningful — submission wins require opponents to tap out or pass out, meaning Natalya has made the very best on the roster physically give up more times than anyone else, male or female.

For a woman who grew up in one of wrestling’s most storied families and has spent nearly two decades proving herself on the grandest stage, it’s a record that feels entirely earned.
