This week, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton engaged in a fiery war of words during a deeply personal promo. The Buff Barbie crossed the line by bringing up Flair’s personal past, leaving The Queen visibly shaken and distressed. While fans have been buzzing about the powerful segment, NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer has now added her voice to the conversation with a reaction of her own.
Responding to the moment where Stratton accused Flair of being “just a number” to her father, Ric Flair, Vaquer reacted with a round of applause on social media. Accompanied by clapping emojis, the NXT Women’s Champion seemingly praised Stratton’s sharp delivery, applauding how effortlessly the WWE Women’s Champion roasted a veteran like The Queen just weeks ahead of WrestleMania.
Moreover, the promo took a bold turn as the WWE Women’s Champion brought up the veteran’s history of divorces, pushing boundaries during the segment. Stratton reportedly went off script, stirring up tension on SmackDown. The unexpected direction left The Queen visibly puzzled, leading her to make an awkward remark about Stratton’s boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, in an attempt to regain control.

A few weeks ago, the former Women’s Champion verbally dismantled the 25-year-old during their split-screen promo on SmackDown—a moment that clearly left its mark. Stratton’s recent promo seemed like the perfect clapback. Flair had previously declared that she operates on an entirely different level, and if Stratton wants a fair fight, she’ll have to rise to the occasion.
Charlotte Flair calls her 2025 return her greatest comeback ever
Charlotte Flair was sidelined in late 2023 and missed a significant portion of 2024 due to a serious knee injury that required multiple surgeries. However, her comeback was nothing short of spectacular. In her first match back, Flair won the Women’s Royal Rumble, earning herself a ticket to WrestleMania 41.
Speaking with Sherri, Flair opened up about how 2024 felt like a year of personal struggle. She admitted it was one of the toughest years of her life, filled with challenges she had never faced before. That’s why her Royal Rumble win meant so much—it was a powerful reminder to the world of who she is and why she’s still The Queen of WWE.
People can have their opinions. To the audience who watches wrestling, they don’t know what Charlotte has been through to get to where she is, but I know. For Ashley, this is my biggest comeback yet.

The former Women’s Champion believes that while she may have conquered everything once before, this marks the beginning of a new journey—one of self-redemption. Now, she’s ready to take over the world all over again, starting with Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania. The 38-year-old looks more confident than ever as she sets out to reclaim her throne in WWE.
Charlotte Flair to become new WWE Women’s Champion at WrestleMania?
Charlotte Flair is charging toward WrestleMania with unstoppable momentum. Ever since her Royal Rumble win, she’s maintained the upper hand against Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown. With Flair asserting her dominance for the entire feud, fans are now questioning—can she walk out of WrestleMania as the new Women’s Champion?
There’s a strong chance that Flair could leave Las Vegas with the Women’s Title on her shoulder. WWE has a history of making big moments and breaking records, and Flair is often the go-to name for major wins on grand stages. Plus, Stratton’s title reign hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, which could make a title change feel even more likely.
The 38-year-old star could add another milestone to her already storied WWE career. Meanwhile, The Center of the Universe might take this as an opportunity to rebuild and reclaim her title—possibly at SummerSlam. This rivalry could be the turning point that reshapes the 25-year-old’s career trajectory.
