Stratton addresses the segment.
On the lead-up to Tiffany Stratton versus Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41, the two talents shared the ring together for a segment on Friday Night SmackDown.
Personal jabs were taken as Flair made fun of Stratton’s voice cracking and in response, Stratton went on to speak about Flair’s divorce from fellow WWE talent Andrade and mentioning how Flair is 0-3 in marriages.
As Stratton was leaving ringside, Flair stated that Stratton’s real-life boyfriend Ludwig Kaiser was in her direct messages on social media.
For the first time since that segment, Stratton commented on it while on The Babyfaces Podcast. When asked what is Flair underestimating about her, Stratton feels Flair did not expect her to stand up to her and clap back. She went on to state that they did a good job of getting people invested in their match and story.
I think, you know, being so new into this business, being so new as champion, I don’t think she (Charlotte Flair) really expected me to stand up to her and I don’t think she expected me to, I guess almost, clap back… Look, all I have to say is it’s live TV, stakes are high. We’re going into WrestleMania, I have the title, I wanna keep the title and I’m gonna pull out every stop that I can and people wanna see our match and I think that we did a very good job of getting people wanting to see our match and invested in our story and now, I’m ready to put on the best women’s match ever and I’m ready to go to war.
It has yet to be officially announced which night of WrestleMania that Flair versus Stratton is taking place on, but WWE rolled out new merchandise that promotes their match for night one.
