A source close to Tiffany Stratton has addressed the off-script incident with Charlotte Flair on last night’s WWE SmackDown.
A rather eventful segment took place on last night’s episode of SmackDown, when WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair took part in a face to face promo battle on the show.
However, the event very clearly went off the rails, with Charlotte and Tiffany throwing personal insults at each other in a segment that reportedly went off script.
The segment saw Tiffany reference Charlotte’s recent divorce, claiming her to be ‘0-3 in real life’, which prompted Charlotte to respond by saying that Stratton’s boyfriend Ludwig Kaiser was ‘in her DMs’.
In an update on the angle from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer, the situation between the two had been brewing, with those close to the situation noting that neither was ‘in the right’, though Charlotte is taking most of the heat.
Meltzer notes that the problems were early, and that it wasn’t the line referencing Charlotte’s divorces that caused them, as that would have led to more heating falling on Tiffany rather than Charlotte.
Meltzer also notes that everyone seems to have been told that it was a segment that fell apart, though one person did note that during WrestleMania season you can’t say 100 percent either way, as you are taught to believe nothing on television is real.
Someone close to Stratton noted that Charlotte was the one who went off script first, and that Tiffany’s lines, from her standpoint, were retaliation, with her rolling out of the ring being done to avoid it getting worse and as a defence mechanism.
This would be consistent with Charlotte having more heat on her than Tiffany according to someone very close to the situation, who provided no additional details past that, and that there was heat on both, with neither being the ‘good guy’.
The YouTube version of the segment has seen a number of the personal insults edited out, as well as the Twitter video featuring Tiffany’s line about Charlotte being 0-3, and Charlotte’s line about Kaiser, being deleted.
