Natalya was back in action on Friday.
Natalya suffered the injury on the July 26 episode of WWE Raw when her ankle gave out during a spot with Doudrop. Natalya was helped to the back as Tamina finished the match against Doudrop and Eva Marie.
She underwent surgery on July 30, getting screws drilled into her ankle. She said on August 4 that she was hoping to be back in under a month.
Her hope came true as she returned to action on the August 20 episode of SmackDown, teaming with Tamina to take on Tegan Nox & Shotzi.
Screws, stitches, bone drilling and rehab. I couldn't stay away, even if I wanted to... #TagTeamChampions #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/18oxHxnGSV

Unfortunately for Natalya, her return was not a successful one as the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions once again lost to Shotzi & Nox.
What a win for @ShotziWWE & @TeganNoxWWE_ on #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/WMeNHmi4gv
