Tiffany Stratton Says Beating Charlotte Flair Would Prove She’s Not a Copy

Tiffany Stratton isn’t backing down from the biggest challenge of her career. With Charlotte Flair set to make her WrestleMania 41 decision, Stratton has made it clear—if Flair picks her, she’s ready to prove she’s not just the “next Charlotte Flair,” but the Tiffany Stratton.

Speaking with Grind City Media, Stratton addressed the possibility of Flair choosing to challenge for her WWE Women’s Championship, revealing that The Queen has been a major influence on her journey.

“She’s definitely one of my inspos. She was actually the one my mom saw on the TV screen and kind of inspired my mother, who then inspired me,” Stratton shared.

But while Flair may have been an inspiration, Stratton is ready to step out of her shadow.

“If I am face-to-face with her on Friday and she does pick me, I hope she picks me. I feel like my entire career, I’ve always kind of been told that I’m the next Charlotte Flair or I’m a wannabe Charlotte Flair, and sure, she inspires me, but I’m not a wannabe Charlotte Flair. If she picks me at WrestleMania and when I beat her, I’ll no longer be the next Charlotte Flair. I’ll be the Tiffany Stratton.”

Stratton later doubled down, confidently predicting that Flair will pick her for WrestleMania 41.

With WWE reportedly shifting Stratton into a babyface role for this feud, the match could signal a major passing of the torch moment. If Stratton delivers on her promise and defeats Charlotte Flair, she won’t just be a rising star—she’ll be a made woman in WWE.
