WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton has once again addressed her segment with Charlotte Flair a few weeks ago on SmackDown.
Things went off the rails as unscripted remarks were exchanged between them. The two stars are slated to meet for the Women’s Title at WrestleMania. While appearing on Gorilla Position, Stratton discussed the segment and took shots at Flair.
“Yeah, of course I hear all the noise. Twitter didn’t let me not hear all the noise. But congratulations to Charlotte, a 15-year veteran buried a rookie in an interview. I hope she got all of the TV time that she so desperately needs because clearly, she needs it more than I do. So going into WrestleMania, I’m still just, I’m focused on beating her. If it were to happen where if Charlotte beats me, then you know what? I’ve got another WrestleMania. At least 10 more. At least.”
Some fans defending Flair suggested her behavior might have been a tactic to test her less experienced opponent, but Stratton disagreed.
“I don’t know about test. I do feel like there was a little bit of interrupting and kind of not letting me get anything I wanted to say out. So I wouldn’t say test. I would say more so just being a big, mean veteran.”
For Stratton, losing to Flair at Mania would not hurt her career but rather allow her to take different directions.
“No, I don’t think it would derail me in the long run. I do think, you know, it would be time for me to reflect and kind of go back to the drawing board and figure out what I need to do next. But I don’t think it would derail me in the long run.
I’ve got, again, like at least 10 more years in me. If anything, it would actually be kind of a good thing because I’m a year in on SmackDown, and I feel like I don’t want to accomplish too much too soon, to where like I get boring. Cause I just feel like if you run through SmackDown or Raw and you win a title so quickly, you kind of become boring if you don’t have a good storyline. So I do think this could be something different for me if I do lose, and again, I could just go back to the drawing board and see what I need to figure out better.”
