The heart of the matter

For the first time since Monday Night RAW, Nia Jax has spoken out about the punch that gave Becky Lynch a broken face and major concussion, forcing the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion to withdraw from Survivor Series.

There's no doubt that Nia Jax has garned a lot of heat due to her actions on WWE RAW, and it looks like her unforgiving statement may just increase that ten-fold. A remorseless Jax has taken to Twitter to show off her war wounds and claim that "things happen" due to the nature of their job.

What's next?

Becky Lynch may no longer be competing at Survivor Series, but Ronda Rousey has Charlotte Flair to answer to this Sunday.

Meanwhile, Nia Jax forms part of Team Raw in the five-on-five Women's Elimination Tag Team Match.
