Charlotte Flair may have become the new WWE Raw Women’s champion, but she does not respond well to criticism. Flair gave a hilarious response when the sold-out crowd at Money in the Bank 2021 gave her a tough time.
Flair went into the ring as the primary heel. She and Rhea Ripley were just going to get started when the Dickies Arena crowd in Fort Worth, Texas started chanting “We want Becky.”
Pro-wrestling fans are aware that The Queen and The Man share a staunch rivalry from a very early stage of their career. Becky was rumored to return at MITB after her year-long absence due to pregnancy.

Flair snapped at the crowd and flipped them off. Instead of being offended, the crowd and audience outside loved the reaction. The chants emerged once again when the match was in full swing, but Flair was too busy to respond.
Back in the match, after several failed pin attempts, Flair snapped again. She slammed Ripley into the ring post. Then, she trapped Ripley’s leg between the post and steel steps and kicked it frantically from outside.
