Becky Lynch was ready to take aim at Ric Flair, but ultimately held back.
Lynch and Charlotte Flair have traded words on-screen and in interviews, building anticipation for their clash at WWE Survivor Series.
There has been reported heat between the two backstage and many have wondered how things will play out once they get in the ring at WWE Survivor Series.
Charlotte's father Ric had his opinion on things.
I Think I’m Going To Have To Make The Trip Personally To See You Beat The Piss Out Of @MsCharlotteWWE! I Don’t Think So Sister, The Man, Big Time Becks, Or Whatever You Call Yourself. There’s Not Enough Choreography In The Business To Save You @BeckyLynchWWE. ------

Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Becky addressed Ric's tweet.
"That's what her dad said she was going to do," Becky said when asked if she was worried Charlotte would "shoot" on her at Survivor Series. "I saw that tweet. I looked at it and wrote out a response that would have really been quite biting and I deleted it and let it go because I think it's really sad. This is a legend who is now jealous of me. It's cool for me. He's now trying to use me to get clout and promote whatever he has because he's dug himself into a hole with other things. I was like, 'let me let him have it,' because it's kind of sad."
Sexual assault allegations towards Ric Flair were mentioned during Dark Side of the Ring "Plane Ride From Hell." Flair was removed from WWE marketing following the allegations. He did not address the allegation on his new podcast.
Flair gave the following response to Becky's comments, noting he sold WWE "The Man" trademark for Becky.
So Disappointed! I Did This Out Of Respect For You @BeckyLynchWWE! It Made You Millions & Made Me Nothing. After 40 Years Of Being The Man... The Company Doesn’t Own It, And Neither Do You! I’ll Always Be The Man! Ask Your Husband. pic.twitter.com/VjeyyMElG3
