10 Wrestling Moments That Aren't What They Seem

Sitting as perhaps one of the most high-profile on-air controversies of recent times, Charlotte Flair's refusal to play nice with Becky Lynch during October 22, 2021's edition of SmackDown, a night that involved the Raw and SmackDown Women's Champions having to swap belts, was quickly followed by a wave of behind-the-scenes reports on the matter.

And with it being said that the pair legitimately clashed backstage in the aftermath and The Man even confessing that she had a feeling Flair was going to go into business for herself beforehand, it was safe to assume that said controversial belt drop was entirely intentional.

Well, in an unexpected turn of events, The Queen herself has shed further light on the intriguing subject, telling Steve Austin during her recent Broken Skull Sessions appearance that the catalyst for the chaos was actually "accidental."

In Flair's words:

"I wish I could sit here and tell you that I did it on purpose but if people need me to be that bad guy, I’ll be that bad guy. Things happen on screen. I would never go on a scripted television show and purposely do something on purpose… It was accidental."

Your writer gets the feeling, even almost a year on from the event itself, fans haven't heard the last of this particular drama... And long may it rumble on!
