WWE superstar Natalya has spoken out to thank fans for their support after suffering an injury on Raw this week.
The veteran wrestler hasn’t got into detail about the extent of the injury, which occurred during the tag match teaming with Tamina against Doudrop and Eva Marie on Monday night, but described herself as ‘unbreakable’ in an inspirational social media message.
She wrote: ‘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. (sic)’
Alongside the post, she shared a screenshot from the match which shows the moment the injury happened while she was in the ring with Doudrop.
In the picture, Natayla’s leg can be seen bent to the side as her opponent lands on her.
The 39-year-old legend was clearly hurt as she struggled to put weight on her leg, with Tamina quickly tagging in to take over the action.
There was some distractions on the screen by Alexa Bliss and Lilly, which allowed Tamina to quickly pick up the win with a superkick.
After the bell, she joined a ringside medic in helping her tag team partner backstage as she still couldn’t put any weight on her leg.
There has still been no detailed, official update on her condition yet, with WWE yet to make an announcement about the injury.
The Queen of Harts, who learned her craft in the famed Hart Dungeon, is no stranger to the more intense side of the wrestling world.

Back in October, she really showed her grit on Monday Night Raw when she was left with a missing tooth after getting caught by Lacey Evans during a Battle Royal.
She captioned a gruesome selfie at the time: ‘Such a whirlwind of emotions tonight on #WWERaw ~ One thing I know for sure, @LaceyEvansWWE strikes are NO joke!!
‘She’s a bad ass… knocked my tooth out… but I still eliminated her in the match! So there’s that! #BOAT (sic)’
