During a recent interview with TMZ Sports’ Inside the Ring, WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair discussed her WWE rivalry with Becky Lynch and how there was tension between the two as they both wanted to be at the top of WWE. Charlotte also discussed what she would’ve done differently in the ring when she realized that fans were cheering Lynch over her. Below are some highlights:

Charlotte Flair on What She Would’ve Changed About Her Feud With Becky Lynch

“Everything. For me. For me. Not for Becks, for me? Well, because you know, she was the bad guy getting cheered, and I was the good guy getting booed. And instead of going, why are they booing me? Why don’t they like me? And then changing kind of how I worked. And it kind of made me insecure in the ring where I could have been, ‘Dude, they’re booing. They’re reacting. Go with it.’ You know, soak all of that in instead of shying away or trying to be liked. When you know someone is trying to be liked, that’s when everyone’s like, ‘Oh.’ So, I just like I learned so much from that. And and when I when I watch it back, I’m like, ‘Oh, what was I thinking?’ But still, very proud of the body of work. Like, the Evolution match was incredible, getting the main event. But yeah, I just go back. I’m just like, why did I do that?”

On Her Real-Life Tension With Becky Lynch and If Improves On-Air Feuds

“No, I mean, yeah. I just think with Becky and I, we both want to be on top. It was just like with Sasha [Banks] and I. We both want to be on top. Like anytime you get two alphas in the room and they want to be the best, there’s gonna be tension. And I think that’s how it should be. If you’re not in the game to be the best, then what are you doing? T Becky and I were always like, and here’s the thing with like Becks and I, you know, as she got better, I got better. As I got better, she got better. Like you want that. You want competition. Competition breeds competition. It’s how you get better.”

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair’s rivalry culminated at WWE Evolution 2018 in a Last Woman Standing Match. Lynch defeated Flair at the event to retain the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship.
