10 WWE Wrestlers That Were Thrown Off By The Crowd

It took less than five minutes back in front of crowds for Charlotte Flair to let people know what she thought of the "Becky Lynch" chants that filled the room following her entrance, but an inspired clap-back did much to transform the tone.

A rotten television feud and unclear character motivations had left a Raw Women's Championship programme with Rhea Ripley in tatters on the night of WWE's first pay-per-view back in a full building, but Flair's flash of fury had a transformative effect on a crowd previously determined to hijack the midcard match.

Flipping the bird to any and every observer, 'The Queen' somehow pulled focus back onto her ruckus with Ripley, grasping victory from the jaws of defeat. She did much the same in the show-stealing contest, sealing an umpteenth Raw Women's Championship victory to the sound of a gripped Money In The Bank capacity crowd, rather than the hum of an arena waiting to see somebody else.
