WWE Survivor Series 2021 opener witnessed RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defeating SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. This was a much-anticipated non-title champion vs. champion battle which was hyped up by the real-life heat between the two superstars. WWE Universe didn’t have to wait long to witness as this appeared to be the opening bout of the main card.
As seen at WWE Survivor Series 2021, Lynch gained the pinfall win by one-upping Flair with a roll-up using the ropes as leverage which the referee didn’t see. Lynch then spoke with WWE Raw backstage interviewer Sarah Schreiber after the match and got really emotional while talking about her former best friend in Flair.

“Yeah, even watching the video packages, I got a little bit emotional, you know?” Lynch stated as she had tears in her eyes. “Because, you know… to see every… to see where we came from to where we are now, and the hatred here, the hatred going out there, and it’s just, its… it’s so sad, you know? Like that’s somebody who I loved so much, and who I trusted my life with, you know, and who… we’ve been through everything together.”
“We nearly died in a car crash together, and just how much we despise each other now… I just wanted to rip her apart out there, I wanted to rip her apart, and I didn’t break her arm like I wanted to, like I set out to do, and I don’t know if I’m happy or I’m sad about that, but I got the win and now she knows she can’t deny it. She can’t deny it, I’m the better woman.”
