During tonight’s edition of WWE RAW, Becky Lynch was attacked by Xia Li on her way to the ring for a #1 Contender’s Battle Royal. As noted in the recap of the show by Mike Tedesco:
As Lynch makes her entrance, Xia Li attacks her from behind. Li then knocks Lynch out with the spin kick that knocked out Candice LeRae last week. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce runs down with referees. Pearce says Li will not be in this match after what she just did and sends her to the back. The referees check on Lynch, who hasn’t moved.
In a digital exclusive, Becky Lynch was seen being escorted to the back by officials, forcing “The Man” out of the battle royal, which was ultimately won by Zoey Stark.
The match also served as the in-ring RAW debut of Ivy Nile, who signed a contract for the brand alongside the Creed Brothers.
With Stark set to face Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series, the attack on Lynch could well be hinting at a feud with Li going forward.
