Becky Lynch revealed she felt “purposefully disrespected” by Charlotte Flair during the disastrous title exchange last month.
The segment fell off the rails when Flair dropped the RAW Women’s Championship during the exchange, which resulted
Following the exchange reports of a heated behind the scenes confrontation between the two champions flooded the wrestling media.
In a recent interview, Lynch confirmed the reports were true disclosing “when I got backstage, I lost it.”
Lynch was a guest on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour and spoke candidly about what went down after the ill-fated title exchange.
“There was a plan in place that was supposed to go one way and if it went one way, everyone would have had a moment and it would have been great. I, in the back, said, ‘this isn’t going to happen, she’s going to do something else.’ She did exactly what I said she was going to do. Sometimes things can happen out there and people can get carried away in the moment, but I knew she was going to purposefully disrespect me, so I processed it a lot quicker and was able to hold it together until I got backstage and then I lost it a little. I lost it. Verbally. I had to do a dark match after, so I verbally lost it. I didn’t have time to scrap in the back.”
Lynch continued:
“At the end of the day, it wasn’t about me. It was about Sasha and her getting into something. ‘What was the need for it? This is stupid.’ We need to go out there and be able to trust each other. We need to trust that one person will do what they said they’re going to do.”
Since the altercation, their backstage animosity has exploded onto WWE programming and social media as they build up to their match at Survivor Series this Sunday.
