Charlotte Flair addresses her “war of words” segment with Tiffany Stratton from WWE Smackdown

As seen during the March 21st 2025 edition of WWE Smackdown, there was a “war of words” promo segment between women’s champion Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair. While speaking to The Daily Mail, Charlotte was asked if she was trying to “teach Tiffany a lesson” and here was Charlotte’s response…

“It’s great that you said ‘teach her a lesson’ – I did not look at it as a lesson. I looked at it as I am Charlotte Flair. Do you want me to be less than? This is what you wanted, right? This is who you want to be like, this is your idol. OK. So 2019, Trish Stratus wanted to come back and I kept thinking to myself, Trish Stratus wants to come back and wrestle me. Oh, I have to be as good as she thinks I am, like I can’t be less than. ‘Charlotte Flair is that good that I have to come back.’ She’d been gone for how many years? Yeah, now she makes a lot more regular appearances, but that’s all that’s going through my head.

This is a similar situation. I am going to be as good as everyone thinks I am, and now I feel like I’m even that much better because 2024 did kick my ass and it did give me the clarity and it did light the spark, like no, my career is on my time and I’m coming for everything. I’ve done my homework. WrestleMania is the easy part for me. WrestleMania is my domain.”
