Charlotte Flair has attacked WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton before SmackDown has even started. The champion was left crying as the surprise assault hurt her. Flair and Stratton have been feuding as they head toward WrestleMania, with both going off-script in recent promo battles.
Flair has not taken any steps to improve the situation, with reportedly off-script shots at Tiffany Stratton quite a few times, making the young star look bad heading into their match. Stratton came back with shots of her own recently, talking about Flair's real-life divorce with Andrade and how she was 0-3 in her marriages. The star hit back at the champion by saying her real-life boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, was in her DMs.
