10 Wrestlers Who Will Only Be Remembered For One Moment

3. Nia Jax - Punching Becky Lynch

Of all the legacies to be stuck with, arguably the worst (moreso than bad booking and botched promos) is that you are a dangerous worker who injured your colleagues. As it stands, at least until she imminently returns from double ACL surgery, that is what Nia Jax is known for.

The devastating punch which cost Becky Lynch her match with Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series 2018 due to a "severe facial injury" is by no means a one-off for Jax either, but a microcosm of the stigma surrounding the former WWE Raw Women's champion.

Nia Jax remains a highly-skilled wrestler, one who was named the PWI Rookie of the Year in 2016, and yet fans minds immediately turn to that errant shot which created an iconic image of Becky Lynch and arguably was the catalyst that led to the WrestleMania 35 main event, when discussing the traits of 'The Irresistable Force'.

Here's hoping she can change that perception upon her return to WWE from injury.
