2. Becky Lynch Segment

The universally most anticipated match of the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view was the epic champion vs. champion match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.  However, things have taken a turn for the worst regarding that match taking place.

The Irish Lass Kicker led the charge of SmackDown superstars invading Raw on Monday night, but in the middle of that brawl, Lynch took a shot to the face and began bleeding.  It was reported by Fightful.com’s Sean Ross Sapp that she will now be unable to compete at Survivor Series against Rousey with a broken face and concussion (this was made official last night on the show).  This is a huge blow to the event, but last night saw Rousey’s replacement competitor revealed.

GM Paige, surrounded by the women superstars of the blue brand, stood in the ring and awaited the entrance of The Man.  Lynch came out and cut a great shoot/work promo that took more shots at Rousey before saying she will get her hands on her again.  However, Lynch came out to ultimately choose her replacement for the Survivor Series match against The Baddest Woman On The Planet.

Lynch looked at every superstar in the ring and weighed her decision, before choosing her former friend turned enemy Charlotte Flair.  The Irish Lass Kicker told Charlotte to do to Rousey what she was going to do before she hugged Charlotte in an embrace.  This more or less kills the recent beef between Charlotte and Becky, but it might be a sign that The Man is going to be a babyface again.  Or maybe, Charlotte will turn heel with her in the near future.

Regardless of what happens, this was a great segment that saw Lynch as a powerful force even with an injury that will keep her sidelined from Survivor Series.
