WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker has offered high praise for SmackDown Superstar Charlotte Flair.
Flair, who had been sidelined for the entirety of 2024 due to a knee injury, made a significant impact by winning this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble, earning herself a title opportunity at WrestleMania 41.
Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker shared his thoughts on Flair’s comeback and expressed his admiration for her current outlook:
“I’ve seen her post-Rumble. To listen to her talk about what she wants to do, it’s like all of the things that she’s already accomplished are great, but her mindset is she’s starting anew. She wants to conquer the world all over again.
It’s an incredible mindset to have at that part of your career. I actually had her talk to some of the talent on my team for LFG, trying to get them to understand her mindset.
But listening to her passion, you could tell what’s real and what’s not real and what’s lip service. To hear her talk about what she wants to do, it’s really inspiring to have that kind of passion at that point in her career.
She’s got nothing left to prove. She’s the G.O.A.T, and she took her rightful place back at the top of the food chain. Rhea Ripley might have something to say about that.”
Charlotte Flair will face Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship on Night 1 of WrestleMania 41.
Backstage News On Who Went Off Script First In The Charlotte Flair – Tiffany Stratton Promo
The backstage fallout from the Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair promo segment from SmackDown continues, where both women went off-script.
Fightful Select reports that at least one source close to Stratton alleges Charlotte deviated from the script first, prompting Stratton to respond in kind. This source also claimed that Stratton’s decision to leave the ring after delivering a pointed remark about Flair’s divorce was an attempt to de-escalate the situation, suggesting that underlying tensions had been building.
“At least one source close to Stratton claimed that Charlotte went off script first, then Stratton fought back. The claim was that rolling out of the ring after dropping the marriage line was to try to avoid the situation escalating. The belief was that this situation has been boiling over for a while.”
However, management’s reaction was reportedly negative towards both women involved. “Management wasn’t happy with either woman from what we’re told.”
The backstage reaction during the segment was also noteworthy. “We’ve heard that when the back and forth happened to close the promo, there were some audible ‘oohs’ and ‘woahs’ and general surprise that it unfolded that way.” This indicates that the segment’s conclusion was unexpected, even to WWE Officials backstage.
