5 WWE Superstars who have broken their leg like Conor McGregor 

#3. WWE Superstars who broke their leg: Natalya

Natalya is one of the toughest veteran wrestlers in the WWE women's division. During her time in the company, much like any other wrestler, Natalya has suffered through her share of injuries. However, one of the most devastating injuries was a broken ankle.

Now I know why Natalya was away from WWE for a bit, she broke her ankle which was apparently mistaken for a sprain, ouch!

During WWE's tour of the United Kingdom, Natalya had broken her ankle but had not realized it. The injury went undiagnosed for two months as Natalya continued to wrestle on it. Unfortunately, when her supposed 'sprain' didn't get any better, she had it checked out. She then found out that she had broken her ankle.

It was a tough year for her as WWE was finally focusing on women and had brought up Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, with the Women's Revolution well underway. She wanted to wrestle them, but the injury caused her to take a step back:

"Coming back from my broken ankle — that's why I was so devastated when I broke my ankle because I didn't want to believe, I didn't want to be hurt. I finally got back into the mix and I finally re-debuted after being out the whole summer and then I get hurt. Then I realized looking back on it now, all those things happened for a reason. Some of them I don't know the reasons for but everything that happened to me last year made me stronger," Natalya said.

She was out towards the end of 2015 but returned in January 2016.
