The long-standing tension between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair has resurfaced, as both WWE superstars commented publicly on the status of their real-life feud. The rivalry, a central pillar in the evolution of WWE’s women’s division, continues to intrigue fans with new developments and lingering questions.
Background and Key Members of the Feud
Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are integral members of the Four Horsewomen, alongside Bayley and Mercedes Mone (formerly known as Sasha Banks). This influential group is widely recognized for shaping the modern landscape of women’s professional wrestling within WWE, driving greater visibility and competitiveness within the Stamford-based company.
Currently, Charlotte Flair competes under the SmackDown brand while Becky Lynch holds the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on RAW. These separate roles have not diminished their shared history, which was further spotlighted following the 2021 WWE draft—an event that saw Lynch move to RAW and Flair transfer to SmackDown.
The Infamous Title Exchange and Its Fallout
The 2021 draft created a unique situation where Lynch held the SmackDown Championship and Flair was the RAW Champion. WWE management proposed a direct title exchange overseen by Sonya Deville. What appeared to be a simple in-ring segment quickly escalated, as personal tensions erupted during the exchange and led to a heated backstage argument.
Observers have cited several factors fueling this crack in the relationship, including Lynch’s swift rise within WWE and possible feelings of jealousy from Flair. Their dynamic remained a topic of speculation, with both athletes maintaining high profiles in individual brands and storylines.
