A year ago, Becky Lynch and the SmackDown Live Women's division invaded RAW, and put down the entire RAW Women's roster. The image of a bleeding Lynch surrounded by the WWE Universe has forever been etched in our minds, and was instrumental in her bagging a WrestleMania spot months later.

Nia gives Lynch a bloody face
During the brawl, Nia Jax punched Lynch on the face and "The Man" immediately started bleeding. The move wasn't planned, and Lynch sustained an injury due to it. She was later pulled from the upcoming Survivor Series match against Ronda Rousey, and picked Charlotte Flair as her replacement.
The segment has since been immortalized in WWE history as a significant moment in Lynch's rise to the top of the company. The visual of a bloodied Lynch looking down at a fallen Rousey has gained iconic status and it kicked off a series of events that led to Lynch winning the RAW and SmackDown Live Women's titles at WrestleMania 35.

Former WWE writer Kazeem Famuyide recently posted a tweet, detailing the backstage reaction on Lynch getting bloodied by Nia Jax during the classic segment.
I’ll never forget being in the writers room watching this, as it was happening and all of us letting out a collective “holy s*** she’s leaking,” but once she stood up with the arms out we knew a moment was made. https://t.co/7WY78A6rZj

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
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.
