On the go-home episode of WWE RAW for Survivor Series 2018, Nia Jax accidentally broke Becky Lynch's nose during an in-ring brawl.

The incident gave fans the iconic visual of a bloodied Lynch looking down at the ring while surrounded by a sea of fans. Lynch was given the biggest push of her career over the next several months.

Jax later apologized to Lynch by sending her a bouquet. Lynch didn't just accept the apology but was grateful for what happened on RAW:

“She sent me flowers, but I should’ve sent her flowers. Yeah, yeah it was after that, there was an iconic image to go with the match." (H/T WrestlingInc)

Lynch also said that Jax breaking her nose was a major turning point in her career:

"So yeah, 100% it was a blessing in disguise. I don't know what would have happened otherwise. We would have had our match, I probably would have won. Who knows? Who knows what would have happened?. It's so hard to tell, but I am very grateful for everything that happened along the way." (H/T Republic World)

Lynch's push culminated with a history-making WrestleMania main event. She headlined WrestleMania 35 with Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey. Lynch pinned Rousey to win both the RAW and SmackDown Women's titles at The Show of Shows.

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.
