7 Ups And 9 Downs From WWE Survivor Series 2018

Downs...

9. What Was The Point Of The Beatdown?

On Raw Monday night, Becky Lynch attacked Ronda Rousey backstage so badly that her arm was hanging off her body when she limped down to the ring later. And then Lynch chaired Rousey in the shoulder a couple times to really injure her.

So naturally, the injury was never mentioned, never referenced and never played into Sunday’s match between Rousey and Charlotte Flair.

It’s a somewhat minor gripe, as the two women had a great match otherwise, but the fact that the entire beating on Raw was designed to injure Rousey ahead of Survivor Series and then for it to be wiped clean was just silly. Hell, just tape the arm and have her wince a couple times to let us know it still hurts.

You know if Lynch was facing Rousey, the arm would have factored into the match. Just because Becky was taken out of the match doesn’t mean the injury magically healed itself.
