Becky Lynch has faced several opponents during her career with WWE, but she realizes that Charlotte Flair will go down in history as her greatest opponent.
Flair and Lynch were at one point best friends and were called up to the main roster together in 2015.
Their friendship fell apart in the years after being called up, reportedly due to professional animosity according to Lynch’s ex Jeff Dye.
Speaking on the “My Love Letter to Wrestling” podcast, Lynch told ex-NXT UK Superstar Mark Andrews that Flair will go down in history as her greatest opponent. She said,
“My greatest rival is probably gonna go down as Charlotte Flair. I think we’ve just had such a storied history, and I think that’s always going to be the feud the people come back to and think of us. Maybe one that changed the game in terms of the story we were telling, for that the length of time that we told it, It expand over years and years. Bianca Belair is one rival that will go down as one of the stories that I’m most proud of.”
The two have shared several significant matches, including being in the WWE Women’s Championship triple-threat at WrestleMania 32, which Flair won.
Flair and Lynch headlined the first (and to date, only) all-female WWE event ‘WWE Evolution’ in 2018 for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, which Lynch won.
Less than a year later, the two would make up two-thirds of the first Women’s WrestleMania main event, along with Ronda Rousey.
In 2021, Flair and Lynch had a backstage altercation after a championship exchange between the RAW and SmackDown Women’s titles did not go as planned.
