Charlotte Flair’s Shocking Attack Not Shown On WWE SmackDown (VIDEO)
There was a brutal attack by Charlotte Flair on Tiffany Stratton that WWE chose not to show on SmackDown.
The WrestleMania 41 match between WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton and Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair became one of the most talked about rivalries in WWE. The two women were involved in a now-infamous “Face To Face” segment on the April 4th edition of SmackDown.
After the Chicago crowd booed Flair heavily, she was thrown off, so she mocked Stratton’s squeaky voice. That led to Stratton taking personal shots at Flair by saying that after WrestleMania, she’ll still be without the title and alone, just like in her personal life. After Stratton mentioned Flair’s WrestleMania record, Stratton mentioned Flair was 0-3 in reference to Flair being divorced three times, most recently to WWE superstar Andrade.
Stratton left the ring at that point while Flair felt like getting a final word while claiming that Kaiser was in her DMs. That was a reference to Stratton dating WWE’s Ludwig Kaiser for a few years.
Over the last week, there have been multiple reports about there being heat on Flair & Stratton for what they said, and the phrase “off the rails” was used to describe the segment because both women said things they were not supposed to say.
It has also been reported that Flair and Stratton have had backstage issues for several weeks. It has been described as the more experienced Flair trying to “rattle” Stratton, who has only been on WWE’s main roster for just over one year.
Charlotte Flair Attacked Tiffany Stratton On WWE SmackDown Twice
On WWE SmackDown in Seattle, the announcers Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett were on camera saying that Tiffany Stratton & Charlotte Flair were facing disciplinary actions for what happened last week. In addition, Tessitore claimed that Flair was asked to go home due to some sort of incident with Stratton earlier in the day. They did not show it on the broadcast, but it was mentioned that the video was on social media.
As you can see in the video below, Tiffany Stratton was exiting her car at the arena earlier in the day. That’s when Charlotte Flair showed up for a cheap attack. Flair punched Stratton a few times and threw her into the car. There were some guys nearby who showed up to break it. Flair threw Stratton into the side of the car and left. The WWE Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits, were also in the background, so they checked on a frustrated Stratton.

Since WWE didn’t show it on television, it was their way of pushing the story that Flair’s actions were going too far and that’s why they said that Flair was sent home.
Later on SmackDown, Stratton beat NXT’s Roxanne Perez in a match with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever.
After the match, Charlotte Flair pulled Tiffany Stratton out of the ring, and Flair threw Stratton into the barricade. Flair also threw Stratton into the ring post. By that point, there were WWE Officials at ringside to keep the women apart. Flair also threw Stratton over the commentary table. Wade Barrett got into Flair’s face, telling her that she’s going to get herself fired if she does more, so Flair stopped. Flair stood on the commentary table, and that was the end of the segment.
The WWE Women’s Title match between champion Tiffany Stratton and challenger Charlotte Flair will take place on Saturday, April 19th, on WrestleMania Night 1.
