"Even in the hospital, I was trying to think of ways to have that match" - Becky Lynch opens up about a missed opportunity against former RAW Women's Champion
Becky Lynch has opened up on a few missed opportunities during her feud with Ronda Rousey in WWE. She also spoke about the Nia Jax incident that left her with a broken nose.
Due to the unforeseen injury, The Man was forced to forego her chance to face former WWE RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey in a singles match at WWE Survivor Series in 2018. The two female superstars were set to face-off in a Champion vs Champion match at the pay-per-view but the match was called off.
In a recent episode of the Out Of Character podcast, Ryan Satin asked the current WWE SmackDown Women's Champion about the incident and how she felt about losing her chance to face Ronda Rousey in a one-on-one match. Becky Lynch answered the question saying:
"I was pretty devastated and was severely concussed and so I think that helped the devastation because really, I knew that this match wasn't going to happen now, it was going to happen at WrestleMania. I knew pretty quickly that it was a good thing that this had happened. But still, when you get concussed you are very emotional, so I was devastated that it wasn't going to happen. Like even in the hospital, I was thinking of ways I could still have the match at Survivor Series and they were like that's not going to happen," Lynch revealed.

During the brawl that ensued, Nia Jax unintentionally hit The Man's face with her elbow, concussing the then WWE SmackDown Women's Champion. While Becky Lynch was able to complete the segment, she was ruled out of her match against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series.
