JD McDonagh is set to miss WWE WrestleMania 41 because he has been sidelined with injuries for nearly three months. Recently, Natalya addressed the dangerous spot and praised The Judgment Day star for showing resilience.

During the January 27, 2025, edition of RAW, The Irish Ace and Dominik Mysterio faced off against The War Raiders' Erik and Ivar in a WWE World Tag Team Championship match. At one point during the contest, McDonagh landed awkwardly on the announce table while performing a moonsault. Despite suffering broken ribs and punctured lungs, he managed to finish the match but was later hospitalized and has been recovering since.

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on the INSIGHT podcast, Natalya claimed she was incredibly impressed by the 35-year-old star's toughness in his last in-ring bout. The Queen of Harts stated that she was "blown away" by JD McDonagh's determination to finish the bout despite suffering a broken rib and a punctured lung.

"If you saw JD McDonagh's performance [in] his last match. Did you guys see that? I was blown away by the amount of grit. He wrestled that match after breaking a rib and puncturing a lung. That's passion to me," Nattie said. [From 54:05 to 54:23]
