Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair had one of WWE’s most talked about segments in recent years when their title exchange went off-script.
The segment was supposed to be a feisty affair. However, it did not go according to plan and reportedly led to a heated backstage argument between the former best friends.
Speaking to the SI Media Podcast, Lynch addressed the situation with Flair and the reported backstage incident:
“I don’t know, man. We don’t talk anymore. We don’t talk. So all I’ll say is the locker room needs a hero sometimes. And sometimes somebody’s gotta be a hero. I’m all right being that hero. That’s what I’ll say on that matter.”
During the interview, The Man revealed the unpredictability of facing an opponent in which real-life animosity exists:
“Oh, 100% more difficult. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s the thing. When you’ve got two people that are wanting to work together to make magic, then you make magic. Sometimes when there’s hostility, when you can’t trust the person, then you never know what’s going to happen.
You always have to be on guard. It’s like a game of chess. You have to be thinking two steps, three steps, four steps ahead. What are they gonna do? How am I gonna handle it? If they do this, if they do that, whatever.
This business is built on trust and working together that’s the art of it. That’s the beauty of it. If I make you look good, you make me look good. It’s an art. It’s a beautiful art, it’s an art I love more than anything. If people don’t know how to make that art, then it becomes difficult. It becomes tricky and you never really get the full potential.
But there’s intrigue there, too, because we never know, was this meant to happen, was that not meant to happen, what’s gonna go down. There’s interest in both ways. One way, it’s the beautiful pure art of pro wrestling. The other way is a bit of a sh*t show. So we’ll see what happens.”
The two champions have a long and heated history having fought throughout their wrestling careers.
Lynch faces Flair in a Champion vs Champion match at Survivor Series on November 21st.
