Tiffany Stratton has quickly proven why many called her the future of the women’s division. She became the WWE Women’s Champion by cashing in her MITB contract on her former friend, Nia Jax. However, her toughest challenge has now arrived in the form of Charlotte Flair. The two superstars clashed in a heated verbal exchange on SmackDown.

On the latest episode of SmackDown in Bologna, Italy, The Queen and the champion sat down for a chat. Charlotte Flair clearly dominated the young star verbally. She claimed Stratton wasn’t special, insisting everyone was compared to her because she was the greatest. Not only that, but Flair also even said that the 25-year-old star didn’t earn the title because she won it via a cash-in.

The 14-time world champion said it would be the biggest moment of Stratton’s career, but for her, it was just another match. Stratton fired back, reminding Flair that she once supported her when she started wrestling but now revealed her true colors. When The Buff Barbie claimed to be the hottest thing in the entire company, Flair cut her off, saying she wasn’t even the hottest thing on SmackDown.

Stratton had her moments too, stating she had an entire career ahead to surpass Flair’s accomplishments. However, The Queen fired back, saying Stratton should feel lucky just to have a job at her age. After winning the Royal Rumble earlier this year, Flair chose Stratton as her opponent. It will be interesting to see if the veteran continues to dominate the division or if the champion ushers in a new era.

Nia Jax seemingly agrees that ‘selfish’ Charlotte Flair buried Tiffany Stratton

After watching the segment between the two superstars, many fans felt that Charlotte Flair completely dominated Stratton. A certain WWE superstar agreed with that notion. Despite being betrayed when Stratton cashed in her MITB contract, Nia Jax still believes her former rival was selfish.

A wrestling fan took to X, claiming the 14-time world champion was selfish during the segment. He argued that she only cared about making herself look good and had no concern for Stratton, bluntly stating that The Queen completely “buried” Tiffy. Nia Jax indirectly supported this view by reposting the fan’s comment.

The Irresistible Force shares a long-standing rivalry with Flair. Both stars have faced each other many times and know each other well. Her last match was at the Elimination Chamber PLE, where she and Candice LeRae lost to Tiffy and the legendary Trish Stratus in a tag team bout.

Charlotte Flair was sidelined with an injury she suffered before WrestleMania 40. Throughout her recovery, she kept fans updated by sharing rehab and workout videos. She finally returned at the Royal Rumble and won the match. However, some fans were unhappy with her receiving title opportunities immediately after coming back. The Queen responded to the criticism on social media.

When a fan accused her of stealing others’ opportunities, the 38-year-old veteran fired back with a sarcastic reply. Flair joked that she not only booked herself but also made decisions for other stars. She then added that the fan should leave social media for good.

Yes! Because I absolutely book myself and everyone else. You know what I’d book you as? An ex X user. You deserve it, King.

Flair has faced years of criticism for receiving multiple opportunities without earning them, largely due to being the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair. Despite the backlash, she has proven herself on the biggest stage and is undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer.
