An injury scare broke out in the WWE locker room, a couple of weeks ago when Natalya was unable to finish her match on RAW. On her behalf, Tamina won that match on her own against the team of Eva Marie and Doudrop and thereby kept the heels off from getting a tag team title match opportunity. Her tag team partner wasn’t seemingly doing well on her way to the locker room as she needed help to drag the body weight.
Later, it was revealed that Natalya suffered an ankle injury that required surgery to get the problems, fixed. Now she is right back on the rehab process as things are progressing very well for her. Over on this past Monday, it was day three after her surgery, and she could have already ditched her post-surgery crutches since they were just annoying her too much.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion rather prefers to hop on one leg since she doesn’t want to be bothered by the crutches. Perhaps, she won’t them anymore as we heard some positive updates on her recovery.
Natalya joined the Table Talk podcast and gave an update on her injury. She noted that she will be able to make an in-ring return in under a month. With one more week, she will be able to cut off her stitches. Some more time to let the bone heal, and she should be back on track in under one month of timespan.
Natalya expects to be back within a month
“I am two days away from running on the treadmill, so I’m very excited about that. I had screws and stuff drilled into my bone. There were no broken bones, but it needed surgery. For some weird reason, I didn’t feel any pain. And I think it was because we were with fans….hopefully soon. For me, just to be totally transparent, the surgery was Friday. I was walking with no crutches three days later,” Natalya stated.
“I probably have another week before I get my stitches out. I’ve gotta let my bone heal a little bit. But probably in the next little bit, probably under a month, we’ll see, obviously I still have to get a doctor’s clearance.”
Natalya is certainly hopeful about making the quickest return to action and fans couldn’t be glad as they, too want her back as early as possible. She’s a veteran and WWE can’t afford to keep her out of the equation for a longer timespan, either.
Tamina and Natalya are still the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and hence there have been some rumors about the relinquishing of the title following the latter’s injury. But since Nattie is having a quick recovery, they may not have to vacate the titles, after all.
