Chris Jericho: Nia Jax’s Punch To Becky Lynch Looked “Legitimate, Deliberate”

[Kemo]

On Friday’s Talk Is Jericho, Chris Jericho stated that the punch from Nia Jax that led to Becky Lynch’s broken face looked “legitimate [and], deliberate.”

To provide some context, Jericho was previewing Sunday’s Survivor Series card with co-hosts Jack Slade and John Howarth.

In discussing the switch from Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey to Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair, Jericho recounted the circumstances that forced the match to be changed.

“You know, stuff happens. If you see the punch that she took, oh my gosh, it didn’t look like a potato,” Jericho said. “It looked like a legitimate, deliberate punch to the face.”

“But, whatever, we’ll hold off judgment on that,” Jericho was quick to add.

Jericho also had some fun with the way that Lynch’s injury has been described.

“Becky got stiffed, st-izz-iffed, by Nia Jax, and they said she broke her face,” Jericho said. “Has anyone went to the doctor and been diagnosed with a broken face? Wouldn’t it be, like, a broken orbital bone?”

I agree with y2j, it looked like she just punched her straight in the face.
