On last night’s episode of SmackDown in Chicago (tap here for complete results), Charlotte Flair and WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton came to the ring for an interview with Wade Barrett.
Charlotte said she chose Tiffany because Tiffy begged her to. Charlotte wants to show the smart wrestling fans that there is no comparison between them. Tiffany said Charlotte can break all the records, but she’ll always come second to her daddy, Ric Flair. Fans booed Charlotte so much that she couldn’t talk.
Tiffany said Charlotte is WWE’s least favorite nepo baby. At the age of 25, Charlotte was a Volleyball player drinking in her father’s basement, while she’s heading into WrestleMania 41 as the WWE Women’s Champion. Tiffany said Charlotte is the “Queen of Sh*t” and after WrestleMania, Charlotte will be left alone, just like in real life, where she has a record of 0-3 in her marriages.
Charlotte then said Ludwig Kaiser (Tiffany’s real-life boyfriend) is in her DMs, but Tiffany had already left the ring by then. Charlotte was visibly upset by Tiffany referring to her divorce to Andrade.

According to sources speaking with PWInsider, the consensus is that Stratton’s aggressive remarks towards Flair were in retaliation for a previous face-to-face segment where Flair “ate her up.”
The reactions to the exchange were mixed. “Some we spoke with felt Stratton stood up for herself in a way that put the spotlight back on her (and in front of a Chicago crowd which was sincerely pro-Stratton) while others felt that the segment going awry towards the end didn’t help anyone.”
It was also noted that the Chicago crowd’s reaction significantly impacted Flair. “Several we spoke to also noted that Flair was obviously thrown by the crowd, which allowed Stratton’s shots to hit even harder.”
Flair’s final comment, directed at Kaiser after Stratton had left the ring, was perceived as a sign that she was rattled. “One source referred to it as coming off like ‘a flailing shot from a boxer who didn’t realize they were KO’d’ and that Flair was obviously ‘gotten to.'”
