Becky Lynch has fast become WWE's main roster MVP since turning on Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2018, winning widespread plaudits for everything from her SmackDown Women's Title defences to her Twitter game.

Her momentum screeched to an unfortunate halt following Nia Jax's wayward right hand on the Survivor Series go-home Raw. The straight shot broke Lynch's nose and left her concussed, forcing her removal from a pay-per-view bout with Ronda Rousey and her continued, indefinite absence from programming.

Dave Meltzer noted over the weekend that Becky is off everything until further notice, much like Alexa Bliss. The good news, however, is that 'The Lass Kicker' is expected to undergo further concussion tests at this week's TV tapings, so there's an outside chance she could be cleared as soon as tonight or tomorrow.

Concussions are tricky. Their variability means Lynch could be sidelined for months yet, or she might be cleared this week. Bliss' is apparently so severe that it has led to retirement rumours, though 'The Goddess Of WWE' has denied these vehemently, and vows to return to the ring.

Whatever happens, let's hope for more positive news on Becky's condition as the week progresses.
