Natalya Undergoes Surgery for Ankle Injury

Natalya tweeted today that she underwent surgery for an ankle injury that she suffered on Raw on Monday.

Today my surgeon told me that I’m an anomaly. It’s been an intense week to say the least. All I asked was to be put back in the fight and FAST. Surgery will fix me, defending our championships will drive me. #UNBREAKABLE pic.twitter.com/KUfeVnPBoH

WWE also said that there’s “more on this to come” on Raw on Monday, which sounds like they could possibly strip her and Tamina of the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.

Get well soon, @NatbyNature!

More on this to come this Monday on #WWERaw. https://t.co/8lOiIeQz0Q

Natalya suffered the injury on Monday’s Raw during a tag match with her and Tamina taking on Eva Marie and Doudrop. As Doudrop attempted a cradle pin, she landed on Natalya’s ankle, bending it in a very awkward way. Natalya couldn’t put weight on her ankle and quickly tagged out and didn’t wrestle the rest of the match, then had to be helped to the back.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words about what happened on #WWERaw.
There are the beatings you can plan for, and the ones you can’t. That’s the job. But I’m willing to give whatever bones, muscles and tendons I have to continue doing what I love. Good thing I’m UNBREAKABLE. pic.twitter.com/2K18Lj6IgE

You can see when the injury happened at around the 0:55 mark in the video below:

It was reported earlier today by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that she was expected to be out for “a few weeks,” but with her undergoing surgery, she may be out for a while. But in her tweet, she did say, “All I asked was to be put back in the fight and FAST,” so it’s possible that she isn’t expecting to be out for too long.
