Tiffany Stratton Comments on Her Promo Segment with Charlotte Flair on April 4th WWE SmackDown Show

As noted before, Charlotte Flair and current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton were involved in an incident at this past Friday’s WWE SmackDown show in Chicago, Illinois. This incident revolved around their promo segment going very off script over Stratton bringing up Flair’s personal life issues and Flair responding back implying Ludwig Kaiser was cheating on Stratton.

A recent episode of The Babyfaces Podcast featured Stratton as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Stratton’s thoughts about how her promo segment with Flair played out during last week’s SmackDown show.

“Being so new into this business and being so new as champion, I don’t think she really expected me to stand up to her and I don’t think she expected me to, almost clap back. All I have to say is, it’s live TV, stakes are high. We’re going into WrestleMania. I have the title, I want to keep the title. I’m going to pull out every stop that I can and people want to see our match. I think we did a very good job or getting people wanting to see our match and invested in our story. Now, I’m ready to put on the best women’s match ever and ready to go to war.”
