Becky Lynch And Ric Flair Take Shots At One Another On Social Media
Things started getting testy between The Nature Boy and Lynch before Survivor Series this year where Lynch and Ric’s daughter Charlotte Flair were to face each other.
There was a segment on Smackdown that ended up going "off-script" between Charlotte and Becky, who had once been good friends behind the scenes. Flair was supposed to hand her title belt to Lynch as part of them each switching shows, but Flair reportedly felt the segment made her look weak and dropped the title belt instead of handing it to Becky. It was later reported that Lynch and Charlotte got into an argument backstage regarding this.
Ric Flair then sent out a Tweet telling Becky "There’s not enough choreography in the business" to save her, potentially alluding to the fact the match might become a shoot.

Becky Lynch Calls Ric Flair "Kind Of Sad"
Becky Lynch then appeared on Ariel Helwani’s podcast and was asked about Flair’s Tweet. Lynch noted that she decided not to respond to it because Flair had become "kind of sad".
"I saw that tweet — the one that you’re referring to, the one that I’m kind of referring to — and I looked at it, and I wrote out a response that would have really been quite biting, and I deleted it, and I let it go, because I think it’s really sad," Lynch said.
"Because this is a legend at one point, who’s now — this legend, 16 time World champion Ric Flair is now jealous of me? And that’s cool. It’s cool for me. And is now trying to use me to get clout, you know, to promote whatever he has going on next, because he’s dug himself into a hole with other things. So I kind of just was like, ‘Ah, let me let him…’ because it’s kind of sad, you know? It’s kind of sad.”

Becky Lynch And Charlotte Flair Are No Longer Friends Backstage
The dispute between Ric Flair and Becky Lynch might have grown out of a falling out that has occurred between Becky and Charlotte.
Lynch also spoke about why her and Charlotte Flair are no longer friends during that same interview with Ariel Helwani.
"We were the best of friends and it all worked when she was on top and I was below," Lynch said. "We could all see the way things were going in 2019 and people were really rallying behind me and this turn would put me in a different league and I don’t think she could take that and hasn’t been able to take it."
