Jim Ross: Becky Lynch’s Broken Face Will Only Make Her More Popular

Becky Lynch has become arguably the hottest act in WWE. Even her recent injury, described on Smackdown as a “broken face” sustained at the hands of Nia Jax on Raw this week, has added to her aura.

The sight of Becky Lynch standing in the crowd with a bloody face Monday is already becoming an iconic image. It’s one that likely will be used in WWE video packages for years to come. WWE Hall-of-Famer, Jim Ross, agrees.

And as he stated on The Jim Ross Report this week, he thinks Lynch’s injury could serve as a blessing in disguise.

“I believe that this injury could help propel her, and get her over even more,” Ross said. “I think when it’s all said and done, people are now going to have some empathy for her in an organic and natural way.”

Ross expounded on that thought, drawing parallels between Becky Lynch and arguably the biggest star in WWE history. Ross feels Becky has much in common with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

“It’s how Austin and every top star got over,” Ross continued. “Their audience made an emotional investment in their persona, and they became very loyal to that persona.”
