5 Things We Learned From The Total Divas Season 8 Finale

#3. The WWE is a family

Stephanie McMahon

As Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart was laid to rest, wrestling superstars, luminaries, and personalities came from all around the world to pay their respects. WWE chief brand officer, Stephanie McMahon, came to support Natalya and say goodbye to The Anvil, despite being in the middle of the intense SummerSlam schedule. McMahon attended the funeral and then flew back to the east coast to take part in a SummerSlam meet & greet that very same day.

Joining Natalya was her Hall of Fame Uncle Bret "Hitman" Hart, who sadly came to bid a final farewell to his friend and former Hart Foundation tag team partner.

Later while picking up the pieces at home, Natalya debated whether to attend SummerSlam at all; but, inevitably did so as a fitting tribute to her father. When she arrived backstage, Natalya could hardly hold it together and openly wept, as she was embraced by Lana and long-time friends, Nikki & Brie Bella.

Daniel Bryan, who lost his own father in 2014, was also there to offer kind words of wisdom and emotional support. Natalya lost her father; but, she didn't lose him alone, as this episode clearly demonstrates She lost him along with her WWE Family, who love her deeply and fully offered their unwavering support.
