Raw Live Raw discussion thread, January 1st 2024: Day 1 - Seth Rollins defends the WWE World Heavyweight title

[Dale]

– As seen during the WWE Day 1 special edition of Monday Night RAW from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California this week, Becky Lynch was busted open during her “5 Years In The Making” match against Nia Jax. Apparently the blood on the face of “The Man” was drawn legitimately. She was said to be fine, however, and was reportedly in good spirits backstage at the show after the bout.​

Personally I thought it was a capsule or something similar just so they could link it back to the altercation from 5 years ago.

I don't believe that wasn't a capsule lol

The way it looked, it had to be a capsule.

If not, BBWJaxxx lucked her way into being the first person to challenge Becky for the belt.

She gotta finish her story

 

[Chris]

Tbh maybe they gotta sell it wasn't a capsule bc there's more leeway for accidental blood than even fake planned blood on PG TV lmao

Supposedly it was this stray boot as she was being dumped over. I just assumed it was that uppercut punch at the end.​

Well. That doesn’t look like anything we can really blame Nia on then if that’s it. Accident.

What’re the odds she accidentally gets busted open by Nia twice

No Football or just good hype surrounding the show?​

 

[Cwalker]

Combination of both I’m sure
