10 Things We Learned From WWE 24: Becky Lynch

Things worsened when WWE doctors told Becky she wouldn't even be able to be at ringside for Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair.

Originally, she was going to be in the match. Then, after being socked by Nia, she was going to interfere in the rejigged bout and impact the finish. Backstage at the Staples Center in LA, docs informed Lynch she'd either have to sit in the back and watch on a monitor or go home. She hoped it'd be the latter, but she stuck around after failing some medical tests.

Becky lives in Los Angeles these days too, so she'd excitedly arranged for some friends to come and watch her big match with Ronda. Now, she had to call them all up and say she wouldn't be part of the show at all. It was embarrassing, and it left Lynch with a petted lip.

Medics wouldn't budge on their ruling. She was out of the situation, and she'd have to grin and bear it. There's a particularly frosty moment in the doc when Becky rolls up to the Staples Center and see she's no longer on the marquee.
