WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair and WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch have been witnessed exchanging words on social media. They have had a contentious relationship due to the ownership of “The Man” catchphrase, which the latter has used in recent years in WWE. ‘The Nature Boy’ had stated that the catchphrase was stolen from his iconic “To be the man, you gotta beat the man” line.
Lynch has fired back at Flair several times, while she has also fallen out with Charlotte Flair. The 16-time World Champion has opened up about his past relationship with Becky Lynch and how he treated her like his own daughter during their first interaction.
Ric Flair opens up on the beef
On his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, Ric Flair responded to Becky Lynch’s latest tweet about him, where she said she was in Ric Flair’s head. Flair laughed off that claim by the RAW Women’s Champion and said only Vince McMahon has been in his head ever in his pro wrestling career. He went on to reveal that he treated Lynch like a daughter when they first met as she was a close friend of WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.
“It’s crazy. I’m going to tell you something, when I first met Becky I treated her like my own daughter. She knows it, I know it. I treated her like my own daughter. She and Ashley (Charlotte) were best friends. They traveled together, if you’re a friend of Ashley’s, you know their lifestyle, because you’re a friend of Ashley’s you’re a friend of mine. And I have nothing but respect for all the women and they know it,” said Flair.
