#2. Hope is true: Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair's co-operation before WWE Survivor Series
WWE chose Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair as the Survivor Series 2021 opening match despite rumors that it was originally planned for the main event. Plans seemed to change, but what didn't was the fact that the two top women delivered another instant classic.
They seem unable to have a bad match against each other, and a lot of the hype around it was due to the reports of the real-life confrontation between Lynch and Flair on SmackDown in late October.

While there seemed to have been some legitimate tension at the time, the two superstars completely played off it in interviews to build more heat to their bout. In the end, it worked, and they had an incredible match.
Dave Meltzer revealed on WOR that the two champions reportedly practiced the bout beforehand:
"They were a 100% cooperative. You know what's funny, because last night in Syracuse, you know they were, I don't know what it was, but somebody sent me a video from Syracuse. I don't know how they got it, but it was them, you know, like, working their match out, like before anyone, when no one was there. So, it's like this whole match was practiced. You know, it was a great match. I don't have anything against practicing a match, you know, I mean, and people who get mad about it, that's a different generation, and it's like, it doesn't matter. What matters is how the fans watch the match," revealed Dave Meltzer.
We hope this is true because this fully cements that their supposed real-life rivalry backstage was blown out of proportion.
