In professional wrestling, blending real-life issues into storylines often elevates the drama and captivates audiences. While these unscripted moments add authenticity, WWE generally maintains professionalism when scripting promos from backstage.
However, the recent heated exchange between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair showcased a rare and raw moment. It reminded fans of the old days, called the Attitude Era, when personal fights made the show even more interesting.
Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton went off script in their segment tonight as they said very little of what was in the script.

Things escalated very quickly when both superstars veered off-script by delivering personal jabs. Stratton reportedly referenced Flair’s past divorces, while Flair retaliated with comments about Stratton’s rumored relationship with fellow WWE superstar Ludwig Kaiser.
People behind the scenes said most of what was said wasn’t part of the script. Because of that, the moment felt more real and intense, but it also made some fans wonder if they crossed a line.
This segment was painful to watch.

Some reports say Charlotte Flair was upset that her personal life was brought up in front of the crowd in Chicago. This sentiment is understandable because most women don’t like having their private problems talked about in public.

But things got tense when Charlotte Flair mentioned Kaiser’s name on the show. Following their segment, Kaiser went on social media to respond. He posted a video of Shawn Michaels telling someone, “Don’t flatter yourself.” It seemed like Kaiser was sending that message to Flair.
