En route to Survivor Series 2021, WWE has the privilege of using the real-life heat between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. The two were not on talking terms and things went even worse after the controversial title exchange segment on Smackdown. The Lynch cut a promo on Raw addressing her opponent at the PPV to which Ric Flair had an interesting response.
Now, Becky Lynch stopped by the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to promote this Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series PPV. WWE RAW Women’s Champion went ahead to discuss her issues with the Smackdown Women’s Champion Charlotte. She further affirmed her problems with the former Four-Horsewomen member, in and out of the ring.
Becky Lynch wasn’t willing to hold back her emotions during the conversation as she discussed the real-life fallout and the reported incident between the two during a title exchange on Smackdown last month. Plus, she was reminded of Ric Flair, who had a strong reaction to Lynch’s promo on Charlotte this past Monday on RAW.

In response, Becky Lynch described the reaction as a sad one since the legendary name is jealous of her. The Man also revealed that she almost responded back to him on Twitter but then she stopped herself,
“Look, I saw that tweet. The one you’re referring too, the one I’m referring to. I wrote out a response that would’ve been quite biting, and I deleted it and I let it go because I think it’s really sad. This a legend at one point. This legend, a 16 World Champion Ric Flair, is now jealous of me. That’s cool, it’s cool for me. And he’s now trying to use me to get clout, to promote whatever he has going on next because he’s dug himself into a bit of a hole with other things.
So I kind of just was like ‘ah, let me let him out of it because it’s kind of sad’, you know? It’s kind of sad.” (quotes courtesy Wrestling INC)
Ric Flair again responded to Becky Lynch
Apparently, Becky Lynch might have tried to refer to the controversy surrounding Ric following Dark Side of the Ring’s episode on The Plane Ride From Hell. In that episode, the Nature Boy was accused of sexually assaulting a flight attendant Heidi Doyle which was eventually denied.
To make things interesting, Ric Flair again reacted to Becky Lynch’s comments from the interview via Twitter.
“So disappointed!” Flair tweeted, “I did this out of respect for you Becky Lynch! It made you millions & made me nothing. After 40 years of being The Man…the company doesn’t own it, and neither do you! I’ll always be the Man! Ask your husband.”
