With just over two weeks until their WrestleMania match, Tiffany Stratton shook Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. The segment, hosted by commentator Wade Barrett, turned heated quickly. Flair boasted about choosing Stratton as her opponent, claiming she did her a favor. Stratton, however, wasn’t having it.
The Buff Barbie took a sharp jab at Flair’s legendary father, Ric Flair. She claimed Charlotte would always live in his shadow, no matter how many titles she wins. Flair tried to respond, but the Chicago crowd drowned her out. Seeing the audience against her, Flair let Stratton have the final word.
Stratton, confident with the crowd’s support, didn’t hold back. The 25-year-old Women’s Champion mocked Flair, saying at her age, Flair was still chasing volleyball dreams in her dad’s basement. Meanwhile, Stratton is heading to WrestleMania as champion. The insult stung, but she wasn’t done.
Hey Tiffany, Is that’s why Kaiser’s in my DMs?

Stratton then called Flair WWE’s “least favorite nepo baby.” Her harshest blow came last, saying after WrestleMania 41, Flair would be left alone—just like she is outside the ring. The verbal attack left Flair visibly rattled, setting the stage for their big clash.
Did Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton go off script?
Charlotte Flair’s sudden jab at Tiffany Stratton’s real-life partner during their heated exchange felt off. WrestleVotes noted on X that the women went off-script. The insider added that Flair and Stratton largely strayed from the planned promo.
WWE later edited out the personal jabs between Charlotte and Tiffany. Fans are calling it a shoot-fest, and for good reason. The last time these WrestleMania-bound stars had a split-screen interview, it also didn’t go as planned. Afterward, fans accused the 14-time women’s champion of trying to bury a younger talent.
Charlotte dismissed these claims in a Daily Mail interview. She questioned what fans expected from the segment. Flair stated she went hard at Stratton, who has vowed to put her in her place. She refused to lower herself to Stratton’s level.
Charlotte & Tiffany said very little of what was in the rundown for them. Off script quite a bit.
