WWE Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch commented on her recent confrontation backstage with Charlotte Flair at the 10/22 WWE Friday Night Smackdown taping during an appearance on the SI Podcast.
When asked about the confrontation and her relationship with Flair, Lynch said, "I don't know, man. We don't talk anymore. We don't talk. So, what I'll say is the locker room needs a hero sometimes and sometimes, somebody's got to be a hero. I'm alright being that hero. That's what I'll say on that matter."
When it was brought up that Lynch is slated to wrestle Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series, she was asked if an issue of trust between two performers makes the job more difficult.
Lynch responded:
"Oh, 100%. 100% more difficult. Yeah and 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 and we have to it's, 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, if whatever. So this business is built on trust. It's built on working together and that's, that's, that's the art of it. That's the beauty of it. And if I make you look good, you make me look good. This is, this is what it is. It's an art. It is a beautiful art, an art that I love more than anything. If people don't know how to make that art, then it becomes, it becomes difficult. It becomes tricky and you never really get the full potential, but, but there's intrigue there too, you know, because we never know what was this meant to happen or was that not meant to happen? What's going to go down. So there's interests in both ways. One way. It's, it's the beautiful, pure art of pro-wrestling and the other way, it's a bit of a show. So we'll see what happens."
When asked if things are difficult right now with Flair, Lynch commented, "Yes" and pointed out that they used to be best friends before the conversation drifted elsewhere.
