During a recent guest spot on the Going Ringside podcast, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton addressed concerns after a dangerous fall she suffered on September 12 during her SmackDown title defense against Jade Cargill. Stratton attempted a moonsault from the top rope to the outside but landed hard, raising alarm over her well-being. She was subsequently withdrawn from her scheduled appearance at NXT Homecoming as WWE prioritized her health monitoring.
Stratton clarified that the precautionary removal was strictly to ensure she was properly evaluated and recovering. She explained,
Physically, I’m okay. Obviously, on that moonsault, it was a little bit of a rough landing. However, I was fine. I think it was more precautionary and monitoring and seeing if anything was bad about the fall. For the most part, I’m doing good. I’m great.

As you know, there have been things circulating and I want to just set the record straight. I’m not re-signing with WWE. This was a personal decision I had to make for myself and my future.

Charlotte Flair Reveals Heartbreaking Loss of Close Friend Britney Zahn
2025 has been exceptionally difficult for Charlotte Flair, WWE’s “Queen,” who made a return after a year away but faced hostile reactions from the crowd following her Royal Rumble triumph. Alongside personal upheavals, including a divorce from Andrade that permeated WWE storylines, Flair has now shared a deeply emotional update regarding the death of her dear friend Britney Zahn.
On Instagram, Flair posted a heartfelt tribute to her longtime friend, recalling their early days and the profound bond they shared. She wrote,
I remember driving down 485 in my parent’s car, nervous. I didn’t know any of the girls who would be there. The only name I recognized was Britney Zahn from Charlotte Catholic — the outside hitter no one at PDS could stop. She had just moved from Louisville, Kentucky, and everyone was saying she was the best player in the state.

Flair continued to describe how the two ended up on the same Charlotte Elite volleyball team and how Britney supported her during formative years, teaching her life skills and being a steady presence through family challenges. She recalled,
My parent’s wanted me to try out for the same team: Charlotte Elite. One of the parents told them this was the team to be on, and that Britney was the girl they were going to build it around. We both made the team. A week later, since I didn’t have my license yet, Britney offered me a ride to practice. She’s been my best friend ever since.
I could go into detail about the next four years of high school — every music festival, playing Rummikub with my mom, and great-aunt Francine. Or the time my dad caught me smoking cigarettes at the AMC theater, screamed at me, and asked why I couldn’t be more like Britney… little did he know, she was the one who bought me the pack.
When my parents separated, my mom dropped me off at App for preseason, and I never spent one night in my dorm. Britney raised me. I didn’t know how to do laundry, load a dishwasher, or write a check. Nothing. One day she asked why I left little piles of clothes around her apartment.
I told her,
“Because that’s what I did at home.”
She laughed, and she knew exactly what I meant. We were inseparable. My family loved Britney as their own. When my brother Reid died, she never left my mom’s side and was the only one patient enough to deal with the Fliehrs. She was the calm one, the stoic one, the one who had it all together.
She was the All-American girl who taught me about insurance and saving money, who didn’t care about material things or gossip, and who loved her family fiercely — her son Dax, her parents, and her late brother Kevin.
We both lost our little brothers, but even in her seemingly perfect world, that kind of devastation was unthinkable. Still, she carried it with grace. I was just telling her how we had our whole lives ahead of us, how we could be whoever we wanted to be. I never expected a world without her. Until I see you again. I love you Zahn.
