Last week on WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Shayna Baszler stepped into the ring to face off against Natalya. Baszler managed to defeated Natalya with the Kirifuda Clutch, but the action didn’t stop there.
After the match Ronda Rousey got in the ring and encouraged Shayna Baszler to continue to attack Natalya. Baszler then pulled her knee down and drove her knee right into Natalya’s face which busted Natalya open.
POST Wrestling is now reporting that multiple people with knowledge of the situation have confirmed that the knee strike to the face was used as a cover reason for Natalya to take time off to undergo nasal surgery.
Natalya posted the following update from the hospital on Monday:
“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! 😂”
There’s currently no word on when Natalya is set to return. Stay tuned for updates.
