Charlotte Flair says rivalry with Becky Lynch made them better
Charlotte Flair believes her rivalry with Becky Lynch in WWE made them both better.
Recently appearing on TMZ Sports’ Inside The Ring, Flair was asked if her personal animosity with Lynch helped her during matches or feuds.
“Do I think it helps? I think, with Becky and I, we both wanted to be on top. It’s like with Sasha [Banks] and I, we both wanted to be on top. Any time 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,” Flair answered.
She further opened up and revealed how each one of them got better seeing the other one improve. “The thing with Becky and I, as she got better I got better, as I got better she got better. You want that. You want competition. Competition breeds competition, it’s how you get better.”

On May 24, 2026, A&E is set to air the latest episode of WWE Rivals, focusing on the rivalry between Flair and Lynch. Speaking on TMZ Sports’ Inside The Ring, she opened up further on their iconic feud before its release.
“It’s incredible that Becky and I have this platform to talk about the incredible rivalry that we had due to the pivotal moment in the business for women and what we mean to each other’s careers. There wouldn’t be The Man without The Queen, and they’re wouldn’t be The Queen without The Man. I don’t think it’s over, I think this is just the beginning. If they’re a new fan, they’re just getting a taste of what Becky vs. Charlotte looked like, but to me, I want to see what’s next.”
