Charlotte Flair’s recent victory at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 has sparked the interest of Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton as they gear up for WrestleMania 41. Today, the current WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton, had a direct message for The Queen.
Many rising stars in the wrestling industry, including Tiffany Stratton, have looked up to iconic figures like Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley. Tiffany, who currently holds the title of the face of the women’s division on Friday Night SmackDown, expressed her desire to face off against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41. In an interview with the Toronto Sun, the 25-year-old star confidently stated that if given the opportunity, she would defeat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania in Las Vegas and establish herself as Tiffany Stratton, not just a “wannabe Charlotte Flair.”
“Obviously, I’ve been saying this quite a few times in my interviews in the past and coming up and stuff like that; she’s one of my inspirations. I would love to have a WrestleMania match with Charlotte Flair if she picks me. I feel like I’ve always gotten the comparisons with her. People say that I’m a wannabe Charlotte Flair, but if she picks me and when I beat her at WrestleMania, I’ll no longer be the next Charlotte Flair. I’ll be the Tiffany Stratton because even The Queen runs on Tiffy Time,” Stratton boldly declared.
Following her win at Royal Rumble, Charlotte Flair made a triumphant return to WWE after more than a year away from the ring. The Queen’s comeback mirrored that of Cody Rhodes in 2023, as she emerged victorious in the highly anticipated match. She subsequently appeared on Monday Night RAW to discuss her WrestleMania 41 options but was interrupted by the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley. However, Charlotte Flair did not reveal her pick that night.
In a surprising move, Charlotte Flair made an appearance on NXT, where she confronted Bayley, Giulia, and Roxanne Perez ahead of NXT Vengeance Day 2025. With one more stop to make, The Queen is scheduled to appear on Friday Night SmackDown, where she will come face-to-face with the WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton. The wrestling world eagerly anticipates which championship Charlotte Flair will challenge for at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
