Tiffany Stratton has addressed the intense moments she shared with WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair during their rivalry, which included a heated promo where both wrestlers went off script. Stratton retained the WWE Women’s Championship after defeating Flair at WrestleMania 41, a key highlight in their ongoing competition.
In an interview with Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast, Stratton recounted how she referenced Flair‘s three divorces during their earlier feud, a remark that led to the promo escalating beyond the planned script. She shared that the competitive nature between her and Flair sparked the tension, resulting in a need to apologize for what was said in the heat of the moment.
“Charlotte Flair is Charlotte Flair. She is a legend and I was the champion at the time. Things were heated and she is very competitive. I’m also very competitive and I’m trying to prove to Charlotte that I can go, that I can stand up to her, and I’m worthy of this title. So yeah, s*** got heated and we both went off script. It happens. I did have to apologize and that was that,” said Stratton. —Tiffany Stratton, WWE Women’s Champion
Stratton expressed that admitting fault and offering an apology came naturally to her, showing her readiness to confront and accept her mistakes openly.
“No. I’m someone that can like, fully embrace being in the wrong and I had no problem apologizing,” she added. —Tiffany Stratton
Following this rivalry, Stratton continued to defend her championship successfully, defeating Queen of the Ring winner Jade Cargill at WWE SummerSlam 2025, further solidifying her position as a formidable champion in WWE.
Insights from a Former WWE Manager on the Promo Clash
Veteran wrestling figure Dutch Mantell offered his perspective on the promo between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair during an appearance on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown show. Mantell suggested that WWE had not expected Flair to dominate the exchange as decisively as she did, which may have unintended consequences for Stratton’s future.
He observed that Charlotte Flair outperformed Stratton verbally, leaving the younger wrestler visibly frustrated. Mantell also noted that Stratton abruptly left after the segment, signaling the intensity and emotional toll of the confrontation.
“Well, they put her in that spot. They didn’t foresee that Charlotte would completely eat her lunch on interviews, I don’t think. Because if they saw that, why would they put her out there? She’s almost self-destructing. I don’t know if it’s going to hurt her that much or anything. But people who know what to look for, we kinda know. You could see Tiffany getting frustrated, and tonight she left early like, ‘Bye, I’m out of here. I’m gone,’ and she left,” said Mantell. —Dutch Mantell, former WWE manager
