WWE star in hot water over shocking 'unscripted' moment

This is the brutal moment one of the biggest names in women’s WWE suffered a broken nose in a moment that wasn’t in the script.

Becky Lynch was supposed to fight Ronda Rousey in a champion v champion bout at this weekend’s Survivor Series pay-per-view.

But Nia Jax has thrown that into disarray after accidentally breaking Lynch’s face and giving her a severe concussion in a stunt gone wrong.

During a scripted brawl between members of Smackdown and members of RAW, Jax went a little too hard and socked Lynch right in the face, much harder than was supposed to happen.

Lynch had carried on with the brawl as blood poured from her face, and she played up the damage to end the program.

However, the 31-year-old Irishwoman is now unfit to fight to fight Rousey, and WWE fans are fuming at Jax.

Jax’s colleagues are also said to be unhappy, with a number of ‘botched’ moves injuring fellow stars recently.

Remarkably, Lynch appeared in character on SmackDown – just 24 hours after suffering the injuries.

Sporting a black eye, she announced Charlotte Flair had been picked to fight Rousey in her place.

“Even with a severe concussion and a broken face I could still kick Ronnie’s ass,” Lynch said in character.

“I’m sorry to everybody that I can’t finish what I started… yet. Because Ronda, you’re not the baddest bitch on the planet, you’re the luckiest.”
