Update 4/11/25 @ 9: 29h hne – Addressing their report to “those combined by additional reports today”, Fighfful Select reported following the history of the observer according to which “the entire promo of Charlotte and Tiffany last week was not scripted”.
WWE female champion Tiffany Stratton should defend her title against Charlotte Flair in Wrestlemania 41, and the two women exchanged unpleasant jibes during construction – including an exchange that would not have been scripted during a promotional battle on “WWE Smackdown” last week. Now, a new Dave Meltzer report in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer newsletter provides more details on the potential beef behind the scenes.
Meltzer’s sources claim that Stratton and Flair have had problems for weeks, going back to a double -camera interview segment in which the feeling was that “Flair Steam developed (Stratton) and hurt it”. Last week’s segment, said in Meltzer, was intended for “reprisals” for Stratton, which is why she had received lines taking fire to Ric Flair and the failure of Charlotte’s volleyball career. But while Meltzer’s report indicates that “almost the whole promotion was scripted”, it was also informed of several unicenized moments, including the mockery of Flair of the stretch voice of Stratton, the mention of Stratton of the three divorces of Flair, and the final line of Flair on the boyfriend of the real life of Stratton, Ludwig Kaiser. In addition, Stratton calling to flair a “nepo baby” was in the script, but the flair retaliation that it was in fact a “queen nepo” was not.
A source told meltzer that Flair had tried to “tighten” Stratton in the same way as John Cena or Randy Orton were known with younger talents, but also that “Charlotte AF *** Ed all this program by adapting,” referring to Flair who initially returns as Babyface before turning to the protection of Theel in response to fans. Another source acknowledged that the “Smackdown” promo had come out of the rails when “Charlotte let the fans go to her.” Although there is a general agreement according to which the two women have taken liberties on the microphone, Flair “obtains the majority of the blame”.
