WWE's Natalya Undergoes Ankle Surgery
The Queen of Harts suffered an ankle injury this past Monday night.
Following previous reports that Natalya had suffered an ankle injury on this past Monday's Raw, the Queen of Harts seems to have already undergone surgery over the weekend for this issue.
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

While Natalya has not given a set timetable on her expected recovery time, the Wrestling Observer reports that the former SmackDown Women's Champion is likely to be out of action for weeks rather than months.
Currently one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions with Tamina Snuka, Natalya suffered this ankle injury as she and Tamina took on Eva Marie and Doudrop last Monday night. The injury occurred midway through the match, with Natalya seemingly getting her ankle caught under Doudrop before quickly tagging out and having 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

WWE has already announced that there will be an update on all of this on tomorrow's Raw broadcast, although the belief is that Natalya and Tamina will not be being stripped of their titles.
All the best to Natalya for a swift and full recovery.
