WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed a certain match during a reason episode of Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM.
That match was a non-title contest between WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair at the Survivor Series pay-per-view event in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center on the WWE Network. Rousey beat Flair by DQ.
The finish of the match saw Flair hit Rousey with a kendo stick to cause the DQ. She would then beat down Rousey after the match with the stick. After the match, fans were cheering for Flair while booing Rousey.
Ray brought up how the reason he thinks they were cheering Flair over Rousey while due to Becky Lynch and how it had more to do with Lynch than the other two stars. Lynch was originally supposed to face Flair but was pulled due to injuries.
The WWE Hall of Famer stated that WWE tried to make you forget about Lynch going into this match but Lynch went out of her way to make sure that they didn’t and that’s why the fans were living through Flair in that match. He thinks that everyone thought Flair was Lynch’s girl due to the angle on SmackDown Live leading into Survivor Series.
“The hug and the endorsement is what got those people behind Charlotte because if Becky says it’s okay to love Charlotte. Then we’ll love Charlotte all over again.” Ray continued, “What Charlotte did last night should have got her booed out of the building. It was the exact opposite, and it was because of Becky Lynch.”
