Tiffany Stratton may have moved past her intense rivalry with Charlotte Flair, which ended with their showdown at WrestleMania. However, the tension and personal jabs exchanged during the build-up are still discussed in interviews. During her appearance on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, Stratton was asked about going off script and whether she deliberately brought up Flair’s real-life divorce to escalate the feud.
The Buff Barbie called Ric Flair’s daughter a legend and acknowledged her as a fierce competitor. Stratton said she saw herself the same way and wanted to show the world that she could go toe-to-toe with the best. When Paul asked if she regretted mentioning Flair’s personal life during a scripted storyline, Stratton admitted she had mixed feelings, saying it was both right and wrong.
The rising star admitted she might have crossed a line with the comment about Charlotte’s divorce. However, The Center of the Universe defended her decision, saying she had a reason for taking that approach. Before their fiery confrontation on SmackDown, Stratton felt she was trailing in the rivalry and needed to make a bold move to shift the momentum.
“We both went off script. I did have to apologize. I think what I did was justified, but maybe I shouldn’t have gone that far. But I do feel like I was justified in what I did.”

The Queen completely dominated the former U.S. gymnast during a split-screen interview, leading to accusations that Flair was trying to bury the younger star. The tension boiled over into a wild pull-apart brawl just before WrestleMania. Flair was relentless during the chaos, forcing Wade Barrett to step in and calm her down, fearing her aggressive actions might cost her a job in WWE.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair Said It Was the Cheapest Shot He Had Ever Heard
While Charlotte Flair was impacted by her intense promo exchange with Tiffany Stratton, it was her legendary father, Ric Flair, who seemed even more upset. The Nature Boy recently appeared on Ariel Helwani’s show, where the well-known combat sports journalist asked the 16-time world champion for his thoughts on his daughter’s rivalry with Stratton.
The Space Mountain icon didn’t hold back his thoughts. Flair called Stratton’s remark about Charlotte’s divorce from Andrade one of the lowest blows he’d ever heard. Stratton also mocked Charlotte’s three failed marriages, comparing them to a 0-3 record. Following that, the Hall of Famer questioned if that was the reason Stratton’s boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, had supposedly been sliding into Charlotte’s DMs.
In a clip from the WWE: Unreal series, Triple H was seen in the gorilla position, saying Stratton should apologize to Flair for bringing up her divorce without any warning. After their WrestleMania showdown—where Stratton pulled off a surprise win over Flair under the bright lights of Las Vegas—the two women embraced backstage, putting their differences behind them.
