WWE Expecting “Physical” Match Between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41

Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair are hours away from colliding for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41—and while the two have kept things professional backstage, sources are expecting the match to get rough.

According to Fightful Select, “We’re told that Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte have maintained enough professional courtesy that there’s not a concern for their match, but many in the company expect it will be ‘physical.’”

That tracks with how personal this feud has gotten over the past month. Stratton didn’t shy away from calling out Charlotte for “burying” her in their split-screen promo, saying in an interview with Gorilla Position, “Congratulations to Charlotte, a fifteen-year veteran who buried a rookie in an interview. I hope she got all the TV time she so desperately needs because clearly she needs it more than I do.”

On SmackDown, Stratton doubled down in a sit-down with Wade Barrett, admitting the promo left her shaken. “I felt bullied. I felt taken advantage of,” she confessed. “It was a moment of panic for me, but I used that feeling and I turned it into motivation.”

Stratton followed that up by referencing Charlotte’s divorces on-air—a line that lit social media on fire and got Flair firing back with a zinger about Ludwig Kaiser sliding into her DMs.

Now, with the gold on the line and plenty of bad blood simmering, it looks like the stage is set for more than just a wrestling match—it’s a personal score that both women are ready to settle.
