Triple H told WWE star to go get surgery; reason for break

Triple H has always been an important part of WWE, but the star has also been the one helping to guide the direction of the company. When it comes to the creative direction of stars, his directions and rules have been essential for several stars, including one who needed surgery.

Natalya returned to WWE RAW recently after taking around three months away from the ring. She had to work on several projects during her time away, but she was also away for other reasons, and Triple H helped her.

Speaking on the Growing Up Von Erich podcast, she spoke about how Triple H reacted when she told him that she needed eye surgery to correct astigmatism in her eye and needed a break from WWE for it. He said that she should go get it and told her not to worry about it.

"I took a little time off this summer and the company was so great about it. They were like, ‘Take as much time as you need.’ It’s really changing so much in the best way and the culture is so different now. Our boss, Triple H, he is such a cool boss. I just recently got eye surgery to correct astigmatism in my eye and I needed a little bit more time off to get that done. He’s like, ‘Go get your eyes fixed.’ He’s like, ‘Don’t even worry about it.’ He’s like, ‘Take care of yourself’ and it was like, it’s just so cool to have a boss that’s human." (h/t Post Wrestling)

Triple H giving her time off allowed Natalya to get a mental reset

While Natalya is now back after her return in Calgary, she said she needed her time away from WWE. She said that she needed a mental reset and that she needed it for her mental health as well.

"Even for me, just taking this break from WWE… I had my last match in June, so it was like, not even three months but, I took a little break because I was like, ‘I need a little mental reset.’ Or I just need some time to regroup, recalibrate, refocus… Again, it’s for my mental health because it’s one thing to be healthy and fit, like on a treadmill or you look great or you got abs but, if you’re not right up here, if your head isn’t right, you can’t do any of the fun stuff…"

The star has already defeated the Pure Fusion Collective after returning.
