All it took to spice things up between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton‘s feud heading into WrestleMania was bringing up each other’s real-life elements into it. The entire WWE Universe is talking about the heated exchange they had on SmackDown at the expense of both women going off the rails. The Queen’s father, Ric Flair, has finally reacted to it.

The 2x WWE Hall of Famer was a guest on the Busted Open Radio podcast. He claimed that even though he does have an opinion about the segment featuring his daughter and her WrestleMania 41 opponent, Ric didn’t talk about it, citing what he had in mind was quite sensitive. The Nature Boy also mentioned that he doesn’t like WWE bringing up his name every now and then.

Flair was referring to Tiffany’s jab at Charlotte, where the 25-year-old quipped that no matter how many titles she wins, she’d always be second to her father. When asked during the conversation whether he thought that the personal insults in that war of words on SmackDown were pre-planned, the Space Mountain denied it.

Stratton brought up Charlotte’s divorce, though subtly, in the segment. Not only that, The Buff Barbie put the final nail in the coffin when she broached the 0-3 record of the 14-time women’s champion, inconspicuously saying that she’s a three-time divorcee.

The Center of the Universe quickly rolled out of the ring to preclude the situation from exacerbating, but the damage was already done. Flair tried getting one up on her foe when she claimed that Stratton’s boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, was cheating on her.

It seems like Ludwig Kaiser is having fun after catching strays from Charlotte Flair. He initially responded to it by using a Shawn Michaels clip from back in the day where HBK was heard telling Bret Hart‘s sister to not flatter herself. Kaiser was then interviewed on this week’s Raw by Cathy Kelley, where it seemed he was about to address Flair’s allegations of him.

However, the Imperium member quickly digressed from his intentions and instead lamented about still not having an opponent at WrestleMania. In Kaiser’s latest post on Instagram, he quipped that he woke up to 1566273 notifications on his phone after the German grappler was accused by Charlotte of rolling into her DMs.

It’s clear as daylight that the man oozing ‘European Excellence’ is playing into the buzz around his girlfriend’s ongoing beef with Flair. Charlotte’s ex, Andrade, also entered the fray when he posted a heartfelt message on The Queen’s 39th birthday. However, the former NXT Champion didn’t make any reference to the ongoing controversy having his former wife at the epicenter. The two got legally separated in October 2024.

Is Charlotte Flair beating Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41?

The battle lines are already drawn for April 19 in Las Vegas. Tiffany Stratton is slated to defend her women’s title against Charlotte Flair, who’s gunning to become a 15-time women’s champion at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Stratton referred to the woman she once idolized as the most hated nepo-baby in their SmackDown exchange.

The WWE Universe has been pretty vocal about their disdain for the company’s obsession with handing the 39-year-old such significant spots time and time again. What is Flair’s take on the negativity surrounding her? She’s unfazed and believes she’s doing her job by eliciting reactions, be they negative, from the people.

It’d be interesting to see if WWE books Charlotte to dethrone Tiffany at WrestleMania. A mass outrage is expected to ensue if that happens. However, since the dynamic between the combatants has turned personal, one could fathom that they’re not going to hold back inside the ring. The fans are in for a ride as the feud has finally turned itself up to eleven.
