Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch got emotional during WWE Draft 2016.

The WWE Draft is that time of the year when superstars are switched to different rosters, marking a brand split between RAW and SmackDown. But for many talents, it also conjures up a poignant atmosphere as they part with their loved ones during the two-night event.

Becky Lynch was in a similar situation a few years ago when she broke into tears after being separated from her best friend in the 2016 WWE Draft. The name in question is Charlotte Flair. During that Draft, The Man was drafted to SmackDown, while The Queen was drafted to Monday Night RAW.

Following the revelation, Lynch and Flair broke into tears upon learning that they would no longer be on the same brand. Both women had a very good relationship back then, as they traveled together everywhere, and they were also part of the Four Horsewomen in WWE.

Therefore, as a result of the announcement in the 2016 WWE Draft, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair got very emotional backstage and embraced each other. With heavy hearts, they had a conversation and wished each other good fortune for their upcoming journeys with their respective brands.

The 2016 Draft ushered in a new era for Becky Lynch as she became the biggest WWE Superstar in the women’s division. After being drafted to SmackDown, Lynch won the inaugural SmackDown Women’s Championship.

The Man later went on to win the RAW Women’s Championship in 2019 and rose to stardom over the years. On the other hand, Charlotte Flair was the WWE Women’s Champion during the 2016 WWE Draft. However, after she was drafted to RAW, The Queen lost her title to Sasha Banks.

Flair later went on to capture the title, which was renamed the RAW Women’s Championship. The Queen also went on to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship the following year. Over the years, the 38-year-old carved her path to the top of the women’s division.

Both Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are Grand Slam Champions and are two elite superstars in the Stamford-based promotion. Their decorated careers are a testament to their hard work and charisma. While Lynch is currently the Women’s World Champion, Flair has been recovering from an injury.
