Because of her injury, Natalya won’t be able to take part in the Royal Rumble on January 28, which is WWE’s first pay-per-view event of 2023.
The news is a big blow not only to Natalya but also to WWE, especially since she used to be the SmackDown Women’s Champion.
WWE Natalya Dislocated Nose Injury Update, Return Date, Status And Latest News
Natalya broke her nose last week during her match with Shayna Baszler on SmackDown. She had to have surgery this week to fix it. The injury isn’t easy for Nattie, who was called a “unsung hero” in 2019, and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer told WrestleTalk that she won’t be able to compete in the Royal Rumble next year.

Based on Meltzer’s timeline, Nattie is likely to miss the big show in January 2023, when the Royal Rumble takes place.
Other WWE Injuries Apart From Natalya
Natalya isn’t the only wrestler who is out for a long time right now, which is bad news for WWE.
Randy Orton is out of action right now because of a “severe” back injury. He is also likely to miss next year’s Royal Rumble because of it. People in WWE are “very concerned” about how bad his problem is right now.
Apparently, there’s concern in WWE relating to the severity of Randy Orton’s back injury.

Cody Rhodes’s injury isn’t thought to be as bad, and he could be back in the ring at the Royal Rumble after he heals from his torn pec. This would be a big plus for WWE before WrestleMania 39.
Becky Lynch is even being advertised for the Royal Rumble, so it seems like WWE is planning for “The Man” to be back at the show, which would be a big boost for Triple H at the big show.
