Becky Lynch says that you have to remind yourself about what's important.
Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair were once close friends, but they have had some fall-outs over the years. The two stars had a backstage confrontation in October 2021, as they had a heated exchange after they swapped titles on WWE SmackDown. They had a match at WWE Survivor Series 2021, and other than a dark match a few weeks later, they did not work together again until November 2023. They teamed up together to fight Damage CTRL, and they were on the same team at WWE Survivor Series.
Speaking with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, Becky Lynch was asked to comment on how her relationship with Charlotte was, as Rosenberg noted that they recently worked together.
“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.
Charlotte Flair is currently recovering from knee surgery. She has been out of action since the injury occurred on the December 8 episode of WWE SmackDown.
