Tiffany Stratton admitted that tensions rose during her promo with Charlotte Flair after she mentioned Flair’s divorces, which led her to apologize.
The drama happened during a WWE SmackDown promo before their WWE WrestleMania 41 match. Tiffany Stratton’s unexpected line quickly grabbed attention and upset Charlotte Flair. The moment gained attention after her bold line, “Charlotte, you are going to be just like you are outside of the ring, alone. What is that record?”
The new Netflix series WWE: Unreal shows what happened behind the scenes after the promo. Triple H told WWE SVP of Creative Writing Ed Koskey that Flair was upset by Stratton’s unscripted comment. He then instructed Stratton to apologize so both women could move forward professionally.
Speaking on Impaulsive, Stratton addressed the incident and Triple H’s reaction. She said things got heated between both for highly competitive. “Charlotte Flair is Charlotte Flair. She’s a legend. I was the champion at the time. Things were heated. She’s very competitive. I’m also very competitive. I’m trying to prove to Charlotte Flair that I can go and stand up to her and am worthy of this title. Shit got heated. We both went off script. It happens. I did have to apologize. That was that.”
When asked if apologizing was difficult, Stratton said, “No. I’m someone that can fully embrace being in the wrong. I had no problem apologizing.” Asked whether she crossed the line, Stratton replied, “Yes and no. I think what I did was justified, but maybe I shouldn’t have gone that far. I do feel like I was justified in what I did.” [H/T: Fightful]
