Natalya is recovering from a dislocated nose.
On the November 4 episode of WWE SmackDown, which was originally taped on October 28, Natalya faced Shayna Baszler in a singles match. The former NXT Women's Champion defeated the veteran, and she added insult to injury by blasting Natalya with a knee to the face after the bell. Natalya subsequently shared a picture of her bloodied face to showcase the damage.
In an update, in a tweet on November 7, Natalya posted a picture in which she is clearly at the hospital. She stated that her dislocated nose has been moved back 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! -- pic.twitter.com/V6zZTivjHQ
