WWE Fastlane 2019: Charlotte Flair Will Use Every Cheap Trick To Shatter Becky Lynch’s Dreams
Tonight at WWE Fastlane 2019, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will write the next chapter in their historic rivalry, and wrestling fans can expect The Queen to pull out every dirty trick in the book in order to ruin her greatest rival’s chances of main eventing WrestleMania 35.
Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch have fought all over the globe as the best of rivals, with most of their matches being for the prestigious SmackDown Women’s Championship. Though no title will be on the line at WWE Fastlane 2019, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Becky, because the 2019 Royal Rumble winner’s shot at main eventing WrestleMania 35 will be on the line. If Becky loses, she won’t be a part of the Triple Threat match for Ronda Rousey’s Raw Women’s Championship.
While Charlotte’s place in the main event of WrestleMania is guaranteed, she’d love to play the role of the “spoiler” here. Becky’s betrayal at SummerSlam, title win at Hell in a Cell, huge victory in a Last Woman Standing match, and Rumble victory all came at Flair’s expense.
In an interview with Cathy Kelley for “WWE Now”, Charlotte spoke about tonight’s matchup against Becky in Cleveland.
Charlotte said, as transcribed by Wrestling Inc.’s Joshua Gagnon:
"“The way I look at it, I’m still the main event whether I win or lose and that’s what it’s about, WrestleMania. I am the main event and I have faced Becky multiple times over the last year, but the difference between then and now is I’m no longer apologizing. I’m not longer holding back. She’s going to get the best version of Charlotte Flair tomorrow and that’s the ‘dirtiest player in the game.'”"
“The Dirtiest Player In The Game”.
Hmmm, it sounds like Charlotte will be the one to pull out all the underhanded tactics tonight in an effort to “spoil” Becky’s bid to main event WrestleMania.
The story at Fastlane tonight, as it has been for the past several months, centers around Becky, who is WWE’s ultimate underdog and hero right now. She will almost certainly have her hands raised at the end of WrestleMania following a memorable Raw Women’s Championship victory on a historic night. But until then, Becky has to get through Charlotte at Fastlane and whatever other obstacle the McMahon Family decides to throw at her.
Though Charlotte, as she clearly stated, knows her place in the main event of WrestleMania is solidified, she’d love to be the one to shatter Becky’s dreams, especially after all of the losses she’s suffered at Lynch’s hands. Charlotte will through every trick in the book at Becky, the ultimate babyface, and it will get the Cleveland crowd even more behind Lynch than ever. This could be perfect for the story and for both characters, as Charlotte is always at her best when she is at her most ruthless.
