Watching Charlotte Flair chuckle her way through 2-minute matches against an ill-prepared Lana on SmackDown makes one yearn for her sterling showcases with Sasha Banks on Raw. The switch to Tuesday nights hasn't worked out for Flair yet, although she claims she's much happier behind the scenes.

Speaking with the South China Morning Post, Charlotte repeated the same mantra she has during similar interviews about the difficult transition from ice queen heel to happy babyface. Then, she revealed something more interesting about her personal life away from the ring. Charlotte just really likes being around Becky Lynch.

Great friends in real-life, the pair are able to travel together and hang out backstage. This has made Charlotte much happier than she was on Raw. That's all well and good, but Flair's on screen gimmick has taken a battering since she made the leap.
