Becky Lynch was pulled from Survivor Series due to getting injured when she was hit with a stiff elbow by Nia Jax. She suffered a broken nose and a concussion. This naturally had lead to Nia getting a lot of heat.
On Wrestling Observer Live, Dave Meltzer explained the reasons for Nia getting heat backstage. This is what he said:
“Nia… I don’t know, I really know what to say about Nia. There’s heat on Nia, yeah. I mean if she’s never hurt anyone before and accidents happen it’s one thing but it’s not. This is not an isolated incident. You know honest to god the most dangerous thing on that Raw show was perpetrated by Brock Lesnar not Jax, but you know it didn’t end up with an injury, having said that, that’s not a defence of Nia.”
“It’s too many people, you know. She’s big and when you throw with that weight of punches you know you don’t want to look soft it’s tough. I mean big guys in pro wrestling have that same problem. Either they throw stuff that looks really weak and soft or sometimes they hurt people because they’re so big and strong. I mean that’s part of it but you have to work safer.”
Nia had had a past of hurting superstars, so this isn’t exactly uncalled for. But we do hope Becky recovers soon enough so that she can get her revenge on Nia.
