WWE Women’s Division will have to move on without its gatekeeper, better known as Natalya Neidhart for the next few months. The Canadian wrestler has been with WWE for more than a decade and she had seen a generation of superstars in the business. There has been the Ruthless Aggression Era, the Divas era, and then the modern era of women’s wrestling. In each of the eras, this name had been fixed in the WWE roster.

This is the reason why fans and peers often consider Natalya to be the gatekeeper of the WWE Women’s Division who is also undoubtedly the most veteran name available in the locker room. There was a point when she and Shayna Baszler were on the hunt for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, earlier this year.

Surprisingly though, Baszler turned on her former tag partner during a singles contest on the November 4 episode of Smackdown. After the win, Baszler targeted Natalya due to insistence by the reigning Smackdown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. The latter convinced Baszler to assault the former champion to lay her down.

Natalya had to undergo a surgery to repair her nose

Natalya was then met with a stiff knee to the face by Baszler and thereby ended up suffering a broken nose. Ringside News has learned that the key member of WWE’s blue brand might be out of action for “3 or 4 months” as a part of fixing up her nose. However, the Calgary native remains in great spirits and sees this setback as “no biggie.”

Being an experienced WWE superstar, the daughter of Jim Neidhart is no stranger to injuries or working through them. Last summer, she wrestled with two pins put into her ankle for three weeks. WWE is a physical sport and unfortunate things can happen at times. But it’s good to see the top superstar keeping her spirit high in tough times from which the youngsters can also learn something.

After the successful completion of her nasal surgery, Natalya took to Twitter to leave a positive update for her fans. Her dislocated nose has been put back to the center of her face “where it belongs,”

“We moved my dislocated nose back to the center of my face where it belongs!! I love the shape of my nose and it will stay the same, thank goodness! Can finally breathe again? Pain is beauty! LFG! ?”
