By the time of Survivor Series 2018, Becky Lynch was riding a rocket after her fantastic 'heel turn' on Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam. With the one-month brand supremacy that WWE creates every year for Survivor Series in full effect, Becky and the other SmackDown women invaded RAW.

After a backstage ambush of Ronda Rousey, Lynch's presumed Survivor Series opponent, Lynch led her team to the ring to take the fight to Team Red.

At some point during the chaos, Becky caught a nasty backhand from Nia Jax, immediately drawing blood from Becky's broken nose. It would also cause a concussion that would legitimately pull her from Survivor Series, sending fans into a fury.

Over the next few months, Lynch and Rousey would scuffle repeatedly, leading to Lynch being a surprise entrant in the 2019 Royal Rumble. She won, and chose to face Rousey.

On the way to 'Mania Lynch had a series of awesome Stone Cold-like incidents with the Authority, including getting suspended by Vince and having to earn her 'Mania spot back in what would now be a three-way match between Lynch, Rousey, and Charlotte.

Those few months cemented Lynch's place as a top draw and and left us an iconic image of a bloodied warrior.
