5 Things Charlotte Flair wrote about Becky Lynch in her book

#3. Charlotte Flair thought Becky Lynch had more momentum in 2015

Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks joined WWE’s main roster at the same time. Although Banks and Lynch had more experience, Flair instantly received a push as the next big star of the women’s division.

Thanks to their storylines and character progression on NXT, Banks and Lynch’s personas were ready-made for RAW and SmackDown. Charlotte Flair, by contrast, felt her character still needed work when she was booked to defeat Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship.

“I didn’t know who my character was. Why would the company choose me? Becky thrived in PCB and became the ultimate hero. Sasha had come off her two best matches thus far in NXT: dropping the title to Bayley in an all-time classic at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn that August; followed by her women’s Iron Man match with Bayley. Becky and Sasha had a ton of momentum. I felt like I was just Charlotte, Ric Flair’s athletic, blond daughter. I didn’t have any equity as a character.”

Becky Lynch didn't have a problem with her best friend winning the Divas Championship at Night of Champions 2015. However, according to Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks felt she should have been booked in that spot instead of The Queen.

Flair claimed in her book that Banks was "angry" about not facing Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship.
