Becky Lynch is set to miss the forthcoming episode of WWE Raw.
Fightful Select has shared that the NXT Women’s Champion has been sidelined from in-ring competition, stemming from a mishap at the No Mercy Premium Live Event. There, Lynch sustained a significant elbow injury, necessitating 11 stitches. She later shared an image of the damage, underscoring its severity.
Lynch had originally been scheduled to defend her championship against Tegan Nox on the Raw episode of October 2nd. Nox had earned this title shot after besting Natalya on a previous Raw episode. Fans were optimistic that Lynch would recover in time for the match, but current indications suggest otherwise. The timeline for Lynch’s return to the ring remains uncertain.
The Backstory: Lynch’s Encounter at NXT No Mercy After successfully overcoming Tiffany Stratton and securing the NXT Women’s Championship on a regular NXT episode, Lynch was set for a rematch with Stratton at the Premium Live Event. This rematch, contested under Extreme Rules, saw both wrestlers pull out all the stops. The two utilized an array of weaponry, from a menacing barbed wire bat to an unlikely arsenal of Barbie dolls.
The exact moment of the injury remains unclear, as it didn’t disrupt the flow of the main event and no immediate medical attention was administered at ringside.
