Becky Lynch interviews with the media have become kayfabe-heavy. That's understandable; Becky has found success as a hard-nosed grafter who carries herself like a star, and she obviously has fun furthering that in interviews. Every so often, something genuine slips the net.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Becky told the real story behind the pre-Survivor Series punch from Nia Jax on the 12 November episode of Raw that changed everything. Reeling from the errant shot, Lynch picked herself up off the mat and realised she'd been knocked out. Remarkably, she doesn't remember a thing after that.

No, not even cracking Ronda Rousey with a steel chair or posing with a bloody face.

Becky's brain was on auto-pilot as she went to town on the female roster. Later in hospital, she found out she'd suffered a concussion and a broken nose, and that's why she can't recall much of what happened. Nia'x fist had knocked her senseless for real.
