"I mean, define 'coming up short'," Flair said. "I didn't get pinned, I didn't tap out, so in my eyes I didn't lose. Yes, the ending was in Becky's favor, winner take all. She's, 'Oh yeah, I beat Ronda Rousey all on my own.' No, that was a Triple Threat. I helped her win both titles, and now she has to face me at Money In the Bank, because I earned my way. She keeps saying I didn't earn my way. No, I beat Bayley tonight, fair and square, and now she has to face me again at Money In the Bank."

Flair was asked if she sees Becky's match with Evans as an advantage for her at Money In the Bank.

"Advantage, disadvantage. I don't really care. Becky has everything to lose, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain," Flair said.
