3 WWE Superstars who injured themselves and 3 who injured other wrestlers

#5 Nia Jax (injured Becky Lynch)

At WWE Survivor Series 2018, Becky Lynch was scheduled to take on Ronda Rousey in an Interbrand match between the two Women's Champions. Mere days before the match, Lynch and a bunch of WWE SmackDown female Superstars invaded Monday Night RAW and launched a ruthless attack on the Women's division. Lynch attacked Rousey in a backstage area and came out to the ring to confront the other women of the Red brand.

The next few minutes were absolute chaos, as Becky and company put down the women of RAW, one after the other. During the scuffle, Nia Jax punched Lynch in the face a bit too hard and opened her up in the process. The final image of the segment was Lynch looking down at the ring, surrounded by the WWE Universe, with her face turned crimson due to Nia's botch. The botch helped Lynch garner more fan support and she went on to win the 2019 Royal Rumble. Lynch took on Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the first-ever Women's main event of WrestleMania and left the stadium carrying both Women's titles on her shoulders.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
