Last week on SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair had a fiery exchange. Neither held back, but Stratton escalated things by bringing up Flair’s past and divorce. The bold comments quickly went viral, creating major buzz in the wrestling world.
On The Babyfaces Podcast, Stratton revealed Flair was surprised by her harsh words. She said Flair didn’t expect such a strong comeback from someone so young. Stratton admitted her goal was to generate hype for their match—and she succeeded.
Now, Stratton is focused on their upcoming showdown. The WWE Women’s Champion believes they’ll deliver one of the best women’s matches ever. But she expects a brutal battle after their intense war of words over the past month.
I think being so new into this business, being so new as champion, I don’t think she really expected me to stand up to her, and I don’t think she expected me to almost clap back.

Charlotte also fired back, claiming Stratton’s boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, had messaged her. The remark blew up on social media, with Kaiser even responding. With tensions this high, fans are eager to see what happens next between the two.
Tiffany Stratton to retain her WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania?
Tiffany Stratton won the WWE Women’s Championship on the first SmackDown of 2025. Since then, she has faced several opponents. Now, she finds herself in a high-profile feud with Charlotte Flair. With WrestleMania approaching, many fans question if Stratton’s title reign will end on wrestling’s biggest stage.
Stratton’s chances of retaining the title at WrestleMania seem slim. Flair enters the event with strong momentum, making her the likely winner. She is heavily favored to defeat Stratton and reclaim the championship. The odds are stacked against “The Center of the Universe.”
Given the storyline, WWE may choose to crown Flair as champion again—at least for now. Flair has never lost in her WrestleMania debut, a streak that adds pressure. Past stars like Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Rhea Ripley have all fallen short against her. This puts Stratton in a difficult position.
At just 25, Stratton faces the biggest match of her career. The challenge of defeating Flair at WrestleMania is immense. If history repeats itself, her title reign could end in defeat. Fans will soon find out if she can overcome the odds.
