Becky Lynch Survivor Series Replacement Confirmed

Becky Lynch Survivor Series Replacement Confirmed

WWE has officially confirmed that Becky Lynch has been removed from her Survivor Series match with Ronda Rousey.

At the top of the show, announcer Tom Phillips claimed that Becky had a “broken face” and a concussion. Corey Graves later corrected the statement to fractured nose and concussion.

Although that did not stop WWE‘s social media team from posting the same thing:

Becky suffered the injury during a hot segment on Raw. During the middle of an invasion of the SmackDown women, Nia Jax swung a wild forearm that knocked Becky silly, leaving her bloody.

Lynch addressed the situation on SmackDown, saying she wanted to fight but she had ran out of time to be cleared.

 

After apologising for not finishing what she started and telling Ronda she was not the baddest b**** on the planet, she was the luckiest, Becky handpicked her replacement.

After surveying the roster, Becky picked long-time rival Charlotte Flair as her replacement. Becky told Flair to make Rousey tap out like she was going to then shook her hand and hugged her!

Surprisingly, the reaction to the embrace was somewhat muted.

It is a curious decision by WWE as this was touted as a potential WrestleMania 35 main event. That being said, WWE were backed into a corner and left with few options.

I bet they regret making Asuka into such a nonentity of late.
