Tamina Snuka recently underwent surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Snuka last appeared at last month’s Women’s Royal Rumble match and wrestled with the injury. She had the surgery two days later.
Before the Rumble, she last wrestled on the January 2nd episode of SmackDown Live, where she teamed with Carmella and Natalya in a losing effort to Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan.
It appears as if Snuka’s participation in the Rumble match was questionable. As we noted before the Rumble, she was removed from promotional material for the match at one point, before being re-added. She entered the Rumble match at #7 and lasted less than two minutes before being eliminated by Lita.
