2. Her Side Of The Belt Swap Drama

Becky Lynch has told Austin previously that she’d predicted Charlotte throwing the Raw Women’s Title to the ground ahead of time. That incident took place on the 22 October 2021 episode of SmackDown, but Flair claims it was a complete accident.

“I’d never go on a scripted television show and do something off-script”.

As evidence, Charlotte pointed out that her character wouldn’t have picked the belt back up again had she deliberately thrown it to the canvas in the first place. When she did, Flair thought: “Oh sh*t”. Looking back, she wishes she'd demanded that Sonya Deville (who was also out there) pick it up instead.

Charlotte maintained a diplomatic approach to her hot and cold relationship with Lynch throughout the interview with Austin. However, she's keen to stress that dropping the Raw Women's Title on the mat wasn't her going into business for herself at Becky or WWE's expense.

Some fans will still have their doubts about that one.
