Charlotte Flair moved on, but can’t deny she was bothered by that Tiffany Stratton promo.
Flair spoke with the media at WrestleMania weekend about her match against Tiffany Stratton. Specifically, Flair was asked about the controversial build-up to her WrestleMania match against Stratton. On the way to WrestleMania, Stratton and Flair did a promo that turned into a “shoot” segment in which Stratton said Flair had an “0–3 record at marriages.”
The 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble winner noted that though she didn’t love what happened, the animosity created more anticipation for the match.
“I’m hurt, you know?” Charlotte said. “I didn’t love what happened, but it happened and I think it made the anticipation for the match more. Wrestling happens to be an insensitive business, but when people blur the lines, you know, it makes it more real. So it is what it is. We moved past it, but I think that people are more invested now. If that’s what it took, then you know, I’m game.”
Charlotte Flair shares her initial reaction to Stratton’s promo
Flair also addressed the promo in a new column for The Players’ Tribune. There, she said that the remark “rocked her” legitimately and her reaction was genuine. Flair reiterated that she moved past it, but personal attacks like that still hit hard.
“So when it got mentioned in Chicago that I have an “0–3 record at marriages” … yeah, it rocked me legit. I’m not too proud to tell you that. I don’t need everyone thinking I’m playing 5-D chess all of the time. My reaction to that line was as genuine as it gets. Because — and maybe this makes me naive — in my head?? Charlotte hasn’t been divorced. So I wasn’t expecting it to come up in that promo….. and then all of a sudden I had an entire arena cheering as I got mocked for something that was (and frankly still is) devastating to me.
“Which isn’t the end of the world. I moved past it — I always do. But when I reflect on my time in WWE … honestly, that stuff hits me harder than any bump I’ve taken. Like, it’s tough enough to play a queen on your BEST day, you know?? On your worst day, it’s even tougher. And on those days when you’re feeling insecure, or anxious, or weak, or ugly, or — yes — heartbroken? It’s almost impossible.”
