One of the most exciting rivalries in WWE right now is between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton. When The Queen was sidelined due to injury, fans immediately speculated about a dream match with the current WWE Women’s Champion. Recently, their latest segment gained significant attention, prompting Andrade, the ex-husband of the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble winner, to send a message to her on social media.
Andrade took to X to wish his ex-wife, Charlotte Flair, a happy birthday. The couple got married in Mexico in 2022, but Flair filed for divorce two years later, and it was finalized in October 2024. Overall, it was a wholesome post that showed they still share a bond, even after their split. However, the timing of the post makes it especially interesting.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Flair and Tiffany Stratton faced off in another intense verbal exchange. Tension escalated when the 25-year-old brought up Flair’s father, Ric Flair, claiming that no matter how many records she breaks, she’ll always be seen as second to him. If that surprised the fans, what came next was even more shocking. The Buff Barbie mentioned Flair’s three failed marriages and said she was destined to be alone.
Feliz cumpleanos @MsCharlotteWWE I wish you the best today and always! You are an incredible woman!

I wish you the best today and always!
You are an incredible woman! 🫅🎉🎂🥳
Fans quickly sensed that the verbal exchange between both women was unscripted and real. Flair then brought up Stratton’s real-life boyfriend, Raw Superstar Ludwig Kaiser, claiming he had been secretly messaging her on social media. Kaiser responded right away with a meme, dismissing Flair’s claims. Needless to say, the rivalry between the champion and the challenger continues to heat up as WrestleMania approaches.
Wade Barrett broke silence after the heated segment between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton
The latest segment between Flair and Stratton was one of the most intense and talked-about moments leading up to WrestleMania. The SmackDown commentator Wade Barrett had the best seat in the house as the moderator of the verbal exchange. However, even he didn’t expect it to get that heated and couldn’t get a word in during the entire segment.

After the dust settled down, the former Intercontinental Champion took to X and broke silence after witnessing the whole segment. Barrett shared a picture of him standing in between the two women. In the caption, the former Nexus leader expressed that while he wanted to become ‘Sir David Frost’, he ended up becoming ‘Jerry Springer.’
I wanted to be Sir David Frost.

To be fair, what happened in the ring made the commentator’s job quite difficult. Reports suggest that both women went off-script, taking personal shots at each other. The exchange was so heated that WWE decided to edit out parts of the segment. With WrestleMania just two weeks away, the tension between The Buff Barbie and The Queen is only expected to grow.
This was not the first time a Charlotte Flair segment went off script
Flair is widely regarded as one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time. However, many fans have criticized her for being unprofessional with her opponents on several occasions. The incident with Stratton wasn’t the first time she went off-script in her career. Here are three more occasions where The Queen’s segment went nothing like expected:

In 2015, Flair’s alliance with former WWE star Paige began to fall apart after she won her first title at Night of Champions. Their rivalry took a dark turn when Paige crossed the line by mentioning Flair’s brother, Reid Flair, who had died from drug abuse. The comment drew a genuine emotional reaction from Flair and sparked major controversy.
Nia Jax and Flair faced off on Raw in 2021, but miscommunication led to poorly executed moves—and some of their strikes were reportedly real. Another incident occurred when Flair and Becky Lynch met in the ring to exchange their titles. Both looked visibly upset and refused to hand over their belts. When Lynch stepped forward to take hers, Flair dropped it on the mat, making the segment awkward and uncomfortable to watch.
