As reported by AllWrestling.com earlier this week, Nia Jax reportedly is receiving heat both backstage and from fans over injuring SmackDown Women’s Champ Becky Lynch with a wayward punch that concussed and broke the nose of the Lasskicker during her invasion on RAW.
Though it’s possibly a work, Jax didn’t do herself any favors with an initial tweet that seemed to be unconcerned about Lynch, criticizing people for not asking about her hand. Days later, Jax made another tweet that enraged Lynch fans. Jax dubbed herself the “Facebreaker” in a tweet that promoted the RAW Women’s Survivor Series team’s match against SmackDown in which Jax will compete.
As you can imagine with how over The Man is these days, this created an avalanche of angry tweets from Becky Lynch fans who were looking forward to see her facing RAW Women’s Champ Ronda Rousey. Lynch had to bow out of the match because she wasn’t medically cleared and Charlotte Flair will now face Rousey.
Here is that thread with some responses from the angered fans:

I sure hope using #facebreaker is a work. The fans were looking forward to @BeckyLynchWWE vs @RondaRousey and a misguided punch robbed us of that. That gave you all the heat you need to be a monster heel. Using #facebreaker is just piling on unnecessarily.
