During Naomi’s match with Aksana on the Feb. 3
edition of Monday Night Raw, the WWE Universe saw the Funkadactyl left
reeling after taking a knee to the face from Aksana. WWE.com can now
confirm that Naomi did indeed suffer an injury as a result of the
maneuver.
“We took a look at her in the training room
after she came back from her match,” said WWE physician Dr. Chris
Amann. “She appears to have a bruised orbital bone or a bruised eye
socket, as well as a scratch on her cornea.”
The good news is, the initial tests both cleared Naomi of a possible concussion and suggested a quick recovery.
“We did a full eye examination and a head examination as well as a
neurological examination; no signs of concussion,” said Dr. Amann.
“We’re going to have her use ice and Tylenol and check her out again
tomorrow."
UPDATE: WWE.com has received the latest on Naomi's condition, and the "Total Divas" star is now expected to miss some in-ring time.
"After
Naomi went home she had increasing swelling and pain, which prompted a
visit to a local doctor there, who performed a CAT scan," Dr. Chris
Amann told WWE.com. "The CAT scan result showed a small, minimally
displaced fracture of the eye socket or orbit on the medial wall, which
is the inside part of the socket next to the nose. She is being followed
closely and the swelling is being controlled at this point with oral
medication."
As for her recovery, WWE medical staff are plan to monitor the injury's progression.
"She
does have a follow-up later this week to see if surgery will be
necessary or whether we can continue to let this heal on its own," said
Dr. Amann. "As of right now, she’s off and we should have some updated
information in terms of a return to the ring timetable within the next
3-4 days.
