WWE claims that Roman Reigns underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a shattered nose that he suffered during the angle with Triple H at Monday’s Raw.

“Roman underwent nasal reconstruction surgery, which consisted of a deviated septum that was fixed and realigned,” WWE Senior Ringside Physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com. “He also had a turbinate that was also fixed as well as a reduction of a nasal fracture Reigns will continue to undergo observation as he recuperates but a timetable for his return to action has not yet been discussed. After the procedure, Reigns tweeted out the following photos, revealing his post-surgery protective nose guard.”
