The announcers made mention of this when they were calling the match. At a Live Event in Louisiana, Becky Lynch tried to attack Charlotte Flair even though she was suspended. Flair would retaliate and assault Becky Lynch's knee in the process.
By having her hobble to the ring, WWE sold the fact that Becky Lynch is still injured and can still take out two women even when she is. The injury is obviously a big part of the storyline and has been from the very start, considering that Becky Lynch would not see doctors, leading to the mess she's in right now. It is clear that her injury will keep her away from the ring for a while.
And this is great because there's a big chance that Becky Lynch will be a part of the WrestleMania 35 main event. By having her kayfabe injured, WWE minimises the chance of a legitimate injury.
