Charlotte Flair comments on WWE SmackDown segment

Charlotte Flair has commented on her WWE SmackDown segment with Tiffany Stratton that went off the rails.

In a social media post Thursday, Flair teased issuing a statement regarding her segment with Stratton on the Friday, April 4 SmackDown that reportedly included both making unscripted comments.

Instead, Flair used her post to get a jab in at Chicago wrestling fans to further her heel persona, writing:

“After being blindsided by my personal trauma on live television, my character said something on-air that was not true, and I’d like to take this opportunity to clear the air. I should have NEVER called the Chicago fans smart. I sincerely apologize.”

The personal trauma Flair mentions is in reference to Stratton mentioning that Flair was “drinking in her daddy’s basement” at Stratton’s age, while Stratton is the WWE Women’s Champion.

Flair is the 2025 Royal Rumble winner and will challenge Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41. That match is set for night one of the two-night event on Saturday, April 19.

Night one will be headlined by Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins in a triple threat, while night two sees Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena in the main event.
