Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are two of the Four Horsewomen who many consider the pillars of the women’s evolution. Unfortunately over time, Lynch and Flair particularly haven’t kept the strongest bond.
In October 2021, the two decorated Superstars had a fall out backstage and it showed on screen their rough friendship from a title exchange segment. They would not work on screen together again until WarGames in November 2023.
In an interview on Peter Rosenberg’s podcast Cheap Heat, Lynch was asked about her current relationship with Flair.
She spoke as follows:
“Yeah, I think [they’re] good. Look, I think, in writing this book, at no point and certainly not that I…I certainly did not intend to in any way be disparaging against her, and I don’t think I am. I think I’m fair in trying to give her perspective in things. Because I don’t think it’s fair to completely bury somebody in a book, especially in a world that is so subjective. Because they don’t have the opportunity to defend themselves. So I talk about our fallouts, but I at least try to paint it from her perspective as well as from my own. Working together, yeah, it was easy because I think the undercurrent of all of it, fallouts and all, is love.
You get more upset by somebody hurting you if you’ve loved them, or you do love them than from somebody that you had no relationship with at all. That is the thing with Charlotte. We were best friends, we were like sisters, then we fell out, wrestling came between us. Then we came back together, then the notorious fallout with the titles, but I think throughout all of that, if she ever needed anything, I’d be there for her, and I think if I ever needed anything, she’d be there for me. I think that trumps all. I think life is too short to hold these animosities for too long. I think if you hold them too long, they weigh down on you. There’s just no point in that. We’ve lost some people in the last year, in the last few years, and it just reminds you how precious this life, and how special this thing that we’re doing is, and we can have those disagreements, we can have those conflicts, and rivalries, and we can not always see eye to eye in business, and that’s what makes business better, when people feel like it’s real. But at the end of the day, you gotta remind yourself what’s important,” Lynch said. (Fightful)
Since working together again, Lynch is on her way to challenge Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania while unfortunately Flair is sidelined with an ACL injury.
