WWE Didn’t Completely Wipe Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton’s Off-Script SmackDown Segment

Despite WWE trimming the more explosive lines from its official channels, the now-infamous segment between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton isn’t completely gone. In fact, the full unedited version is still available—just not where you might expect it.

While the WWE YouTube channel quietly edited out the most controversial jabs from last Friday’s SmackDown, the USA Network’s official YouTube channel still has the entire uncut segment live, with nothing removed. That includes Stratton’s personal digs and Flair’s DMs comment—everything is intact.

This comes after Dave Meltzer reported on F4WOnline that the heated exchange wasn’t just a case of one person going rogue. According to Meltzer, someone close to Stratton said Flair was the one who went off-script first, prompting Stratton to retaliate. “The lines from her, from her standpoint, were retaliation,” Meltzer explained. He also said Stratton’s decision to “roll out of the ring like a heel” was a “defense mechanism” to keep the situation from escalating even further.

The segment featured lines that had fans doing double takes, including Stratton telling Flair, “Outside the ring, you ain’t the queen of sht,”* and, “What is that, zero and three?”—a shot at Flair’s history of divorces. Flair fired back too late with, “Is that why Kaiser’s in my DMs?” after Stratton had already walked away.

Sources say both women caught heat backstage, with some calling Flair’s response “a flailing shot from a boxer who didn’t realize they were KO’d.” WWE sources also believe the segment “went off the rails,” leading to the edits on their own platform. But the fact that USA Network’s version is still up with every uncensored moment intact has fans wondering what’s really going on behind the scenes.

Whether WWE plans to take the segment down later or just quietly ignore the unfiltered version, it’s clear they haven’t completely buried it. For now, fans who want the full picture still have access—and it’s not being hidden.
