During the build to WrestleMania, things got heated between WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair during an episode of SmackDown.
That came after Flair derailed a promo segment the week before, and with the fans voraciously booing her, the rattled 14-time Women's Champion went off-script and made fun of Tiffy's voice. The rising star responded by bringing up The Queen's three failed marriages, prompting her to roll out of the ring as Flair claimed Stratton's real-life boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, had been sliding into her DMs.
As with most things pro wrestling, the line between reality and real life became blurred, but it helped make their WrestleMania match a whole lot more exciting. That was a rough brawl, and one that ended with Stratton standing tall after retaining her title.
Talking to Alfred Konuwa, Tiffy revealed what Flair said to her after their WrestleMania match concluded.
"Yeah, me and Charlotte, of course, after the match, it’s kind of like a sportsmanship thing," she recalled. "We said 'good game,’'and she said she’s proud of me. But yeah, everything’s good."
Stratton was also asked about the build to their clash and said, "I felt that things got personal, and it’s live TV, things happen. But, I feel like, everything happens for a reason, and this is how things were supposed to pan out." She'd go on to say that her favourite part of her WrestleMania match was her Barbie-inspired entrance.
Flair recently suggested that she'd like a change of character following her match with Stratton on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
"On the opposite side of WrestleMania, I think I will tap more into that and kind of try to bring me—Ashley, the real person—to Charlotte, because I do feel like Charlotte really isn’t, the character I made is not relatable," Flair explained.
"If I could be ‘Charlotte’ in my real life, I would. In reality, if I wasn’t here right now, I’d be in sweats watching old episodes of Sex and the City," she continued. "But no, I feel like at this stage in my career I’d like to pull the curtain back a little bit and show them like, hey I’ve been this hardcore, dominant b---- for however many years."
"But I’d like to also be able to high-five the kids as I walk down the aisle," Flair concluded.
