Another Report Confirming Becky Lynch Off Survivor Series, Dropping The Title?

A new report is confirming Becky Lynch is off Survivor Series!

The big story this afternoon we’ve been following has been the possible removal of SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch from Sunday’s Survivor Series after suffering a broken nose and possible concussion last night on RAW (see the initial story here).

That was followed by talk from Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio that Becky’s scheduled match against RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey may become a Triple Threat, also saying the full extent of her injuries were not yet known (find that here). Now, another report is confirming that ‘The Lass Kicker’ is out of Survivor Series as PWInsider is backing the original story.

Additionally, it’s being said that all options are on the table in terms of who Ronda Rousey will face at Survivor Series. One such idea that has been tossed around would see Becky lose the SmackDown Women’s Title in quick fashion tonight on SmackDown Live, thus keeping Sunday’s match champion versus champion. Other names that have been brought up as a possible replacement for Becky without taking the championship are Mandy Rose and The IIconics, as they are not booked for the event. At last word, no decision had been made yet.

EA’s Take: I don’t think there’s anything WWE can do that can make up for Becky’s absence and there’s going to be complaints even with the company being in a tough spot. Personally, I’d just take Asuka out of the Elimination Match, put Mandy Rose in and then Asuka faces Rousey. Do you want to “feed” her to Ronda? Not necessarily, but it will still feel like a marquee match despite Asuka’s recent booking, in my opinion. You could go with Charlotte Flair, but I don’t think it’s necessary to blow through a possible WrestleMania match when the rest of the card can carry the show. I’m saving that.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
