UPDATED: Becky Lynch Makes Surprise Appearance At WWE Live Event, Re-Aggravates Knee Injury In Attack By Charlotte Flair

UPDATED: WWE has released a statement on Becky Lynch re-aggravating her knee injury at the hands of Charlotte Flair.

“During a SmackDown live event in Alexandria, La., Saturday night, Becky Lynch suddenly leaped over the barricade from the crowd and attacked Charlotte Flair as The Queen was facing SmackDown Women’s Champion Asuka. In the heated altercation that followed, an irate Charlotte re-injured Becky’s knee, going as far to attack it with a steel chair.

The exchange comes off the heels of WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon’s ruling on Raw that Becky receive a 60-day suspension from in-ring action and that Charlotte replace her in the Raw Women’s Championship Match at WrestleMania 35 against Ronda Rousey. Then, 24 hours later on SmackDown LIVE, Flair further stirred the pot by informing the WWE Universe that she was dedicating her title match at The Showcase of the Immortals to Lynch.

WWE also posted video of the incident on Instagram, which you can see below.
