Ric Flair has addressed Tiffany Stratton making personal comments towards Charlotte Flair during Friday’s WWE SmackDown (April 4).
In a segment that has been heavily discussed among fans since it aired on Friday night, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton traded personal shots ahead of their WWE Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 41.
With the exchange reportedly going off script, WWE’s digital uploads of the segment removed Stratton’s mention of Flair’s three divorces, as well as Flair saying Stratton’s boyfriend Ludwig Kaiser was “in her DMs”.
Among the personal jabs was a mention of Ric Flair from Stratton, with the WWE Women’s Champion saying that Charlotte will always be behind her father.
Whilst appearing on Busted Open Radio, Ric Flair was asked for his thoughts on the segment, to which he admitted he “didn’t like” the personal comments Tiffany made towards his daughter, nor his name being brought up during the promo.
Ric Flair said:
“I have an opinion, but I don’t really want to voice it. I can say this, it’s very sensitive. I didn’t like it, but wrestling is wrestling. I hate when they use me, but Charlotte said it right, you think that’s the first time hearing my name?
“I want to clarify this. She is ten times the athlete that I am. So much better of a worker than I ever was. I can’t do half the things that she does.
“It’s not like she’s 5’2” and 103 pounds. She’s 5’11 and weighs 145 pounds. She works so hard. Undertaker said it best, ‘The Queen came back and regained her crown.’
“She deserves it. She’ll be the best worker in the business, female, until the day she decides to retire.”
