4 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night’s WWE NXT (July 1)

Downs...

3. Becky Lynch Injured

The lack of followup to the Lynch/Banks match at NXT TakeOver Unstoppable is finally given something of an explanation. Becky Lynch is currently on the bench having sprained one of her hip flexors. Wow. NXT just cannot catch a break right now. Zayn, Itami, and now Becky Lynch have all been taken out of action. Is there something in the water? Is there some sort of Kliq curse? Has Triple H been praying to the wrong gods? According to WWE, the injury occurred at Unstoppable, but was further aggravated when Lynch continued to wrestle on it against Jessie McKay a few weeks ago. That may just be spin, however, to add further mythos to their TakeOver encounter. As well as her one TV match, Lynch has wrestled 6 matches at live events since Unstoppable and it's far more likely the injury occurred during one of those. Still, it makes more sense to blame it on something the TV audience has seen. Lynch's injury, thankfully, won't require too severe a layoff. According to a backstage interview, she'll be off for a few weeks, and will look to set her sights on the Woman's Title. Hopefully she won't have lost too much momentum by her return.
