Nia Jax Faces Major Backstage Frustration After Becky Lynch Injury
Michael Hansen 
Nia Jax is reportedly not very popular backstage in WWE right now after her misplaced elbow led to the removal of Becky Lynch from Survivor Series.
The closing segment on Raw this past Monday was pretty awesome. From Becky Lynch pinning Ronda Rousey to the floor via a Dis-arm-her to The Man leaving the arena through the crowd. Somewhere in between those two moments, however, Lynch was clocked in the face during the in-ring brawl, causing her to bleed profusely.
The accidental blood actually added to the segment and just made Lynch look like even more of a badass. However, the damage done was so severe that The Lass Kicker has been removed from her match versus Rousey at Survivor Series. Lynch selected Charlotte Flair to take her place during a segment on Tuesday night's episode of SmackDown Live.

The exact moment Lynch had her face busted was also revealed on SmackDown Live. It came at the hands, or rather the elbow, of Nia Jax. Accidental, obviously, but apparently it has garnered Jax a lot of heat backstage. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has reported that the current stance in the WWE locker room is that Jax is careless. It isn't the first time she has hurt an opponent, although it is the first time in a while.
Other than Rousey, Lynch is the last person Jax will have wanted to accidentally hit in the face. That one shot has led to a massive reshuffle of the Survivor Series card, and possibly the booking all the way up to WrestleMania. Sapp has also reported that it's the SmackDown Live crew, in particular, that is currently mad at Jax. It was their champion she injured, plus they obviously spend a lot less time with her than their Raw counterparts.
Exactly who is mad at Jax backstage at WWE will likely become very clear sooner than you might think. Jax is currently the number one contender to Rousey's title. If she loses that opportunity or is booked in a match she loses quickly, you can bet that the rumors are true. Jax had been away for a while before returning and forming an alliance with Tamina. Sadly, her elbow to the face of Lynch may see her descend down the card and disappear once again.
