A couple of weeks ago, Becky Lynch was reported as a hero backstage when she stood up to Charlotte Flair.
At the time, it looked and sounded like Flair was defending her character by protecting it to keep her from appearing weak and giving Lynch all the power.
But things went down differently backstage, and Lynch recently spoke to sportsillustrated.com and spoke about their new relationship, or lack thereof.
Breaking of trust
While the big news of the interview was Lynch saying she doesn’t trust Flair anymore and that they used to be friends.
Lynch dove into the reasons in a couple of responses we’ve shared from the above linked SI article.
Lynch embraced being considered the hero.
“I don’t know, man. We don’t talk anymore. We don’t talk. So all I’ll say is the locker room needs a hero sometimes. And sometimes somebody’s gotta be a hero. I’m all right being that hero. That’s what I’ll say on that matter.”
When it comes to trust, it’s important for wrestlers to trust each other when they step into the ring as they’re relying on one another to tell a story and to come out of it safely.
When asked about having problems and trust issues in real life makes it difficult to work with, she said:
When asked if having real-life heat with an opponent makes things harder in the ring, Lynch said:
“Oh, 100% more difficult. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s the thing. When you’ve got two people that are wanting to work together to make magic, then you make magic. Sometimes when there’s hostility, when you can’t trust the person, then you never know what’s going to happen. You always have to be on guard. It’s like a game of chess. You have to be thinking two steps, three steps, four steps ahead. What are they gonna do. How am I gonna handle it? If they do this, if they do that, whatever.
“This business is built on trust and working together that’s the art of it. That’s the beauty of it. If I make you look good, you make me look good. It’s an art. It’s a beautiful art, it’s an art I love more than anything. If people don’t know how to make that art, then it becomes difficult. It becomes tricky and you never really get the full potential. But there’s intrigue there, too, because we never know, was this meant to happen, was that not meant to happen, what’s gonna go down. There’s interest in both ways. One way, it’s the beautiful pure art of pro-wrestling. The other way is a bit of a s**t show. So we’ll see what happens.”
It’s hard to tell if Lynch is being genuine of playing her part as the build up to their match at Survivor Series. She comes across more as someone defending the company way against someone that is protecting their character.
It’s blasphemy in the WWE and is believed to be one of the main reasons behind Bray Wyatt being released and Keith Lee’s “attitude issues.”
What do you think about Lynch’s comments? Does she have a point or is she playing a part?
