Natalya Becomes First Woman to Receive Lou Thesz Award – Natalya is set to make history once again as she becomes the first female professional wrestler to receive the esteemed Lou Thesz Award from the Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) at its 2025 reunion.
The CAC officially announced the honor with a powerful tribute that highlights Natalya’s groundbreaking contributions to the wrestling industry:
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.
The Lou Thesz Award is one of the CAC’s most prestigious recognitions, given to individuals who have made a significant impact on professional wrestling through in-ring excellence and contributions to the sport’s integrity and growth. Natalya’s inclusion marks a major milestone for women’s wrestling and reflects her decades of dedication to the craft.
Known for her unmatched technical ability and deep-rooted wrestling lineage, Natalya has been a cornerstone of WWE’s women’s division for years. However, 2025 has also seen her expand beyond WWE, competing in promotions such as the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, further cementing her legacy as a versatile and respected performer.
As a Guinness World Record holder for most WWE matches and appearances by a female wrestler, and now the recipient of this historic accolade, Natalya continues to shape the future of the wrestling industry through her accomplishments, mentorship, and enduring influence.
