The feud between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton heated up after they brought real-life elements into their rivalry. Their intense exchange on SmackDown became the talk of the WWE Universe, as both women crossed lines. Ric Flair, Charlotte’s father, has now responded to the situation.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer appeared on the Busted Open Radio podcast. While he admitted having thoughts about the segment involving his daughter and Stratton, he chose not to share them, calling the topic too sensitive. Ric also expressed frustration over WWE frequently referencing his name in storylines.
Ric Flair was reacting to Stratton’s dig at Charlotte, where she claimed the Queen would always live in her father’s shadow. When asked if the personal insults on SmackDown were scripted, Ric denied it, suggesting the comments went beyond planned material.
“I can say it’s very sensitive. I didn’t like it, but wrestling is wrestling. I hate when they use me, but Charlotte said it, you think that’s the first time hearing my name?”

During the segment, Stratton subtly referenced Charlotte’s divorce. She also took a harsh jab at Flair’s 0-3 WrestleMania record, implying it mirrored her three failed marriages. The brutal remarks added fuel to their already fiery feud.
Ludwig Kaiser continues to take shots at Charlotte Flair
Ludwig Kaiser appears to be enjoying the attention after Charlotte Flair’s comments about him. He first reacted by sharing an old Shawn Michaels clip where Michaels mocked Bret Hart’s sister. Later, Kaiser was interviewed by Cathy Kelley on Raw. It seemed he would address Flair’s claims, but he quickly changed the topic.
Instead, Kaiser focused on not having a WrestleMania opponent yet. On Instagram, he joked about waking up to countless notifications. This came after Charlotte accused him of sliding into her DMs. The German wrestler is clearly leaning into the drama surrounding the situation.
Kaiser, known for his “European Excellence,” is capitalizing on the buzz from his girlfriend’s feud with Flair. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s ex, Andrade, added to the mix. He posted a sweet birthday message for her but avoided mentioning the current controversy. The two had finalized their divorce in October 2024.
The ongoing back-and-forth has kept fans talking. While Kaiser plays along, Andrade stays out of the drama. The situation highlights how personal and professional lives often mix in wrestling. For now, Kaiser seems happy to keep the spotlight on himself.
