Once the match was over, the WWE Universe saw Natalya visibly limping, and she had to be helped to the back by both Tamina and a part of WWE’s medical team.
The nature of the injury is still not confirmed. However, it appears to be some sort of leg injury to the former women’s champion.
Really hope Natalya is ok. 🙏🏼 #WWERAW pic.twitter.com/qmd1bCCmXn

After the match, fans and co-workers wished Natalya a speedy recovery.
Natalya looks to be injured, I hope it’s not bad… #WWERaw

I hope it’s not bad, but Natalya’s a soldier… not being able to put weight on immediately it made it seem like an achilles injury. :(((((

However, WWE commentator Jimmy Smith confused Natalya with Tamina and said that Tamina got injured instead of Natalya. As usual, fans took notice of it and just can’t stop trolling the new commentator of WWE.

Nattie got hurt, Jimmy Smith can’t tell her and Tamina apart, and they did a Lilly-Lution distraction finish. What a nightmare of a segment.
