Charlotte Flair’s recent victory at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 has drawn the attention of Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton as WrestleMania 41 approaches. Today, the current WWE Women’s Champion had a specific message for The Queen.
Many rising stars in the industry admire figures like Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley. One such emerging talent is Tiffany Stratton, the face of the women’s division on Friday Night SmackDown as the WWE Women’s Champion.
In a recent interview with the Toronto Sun, the 25-year-old star shared her thoughts on the possibility of Charlotte Flair selecting her for WrestleMania 41. During the discussion, The Buff Barbie boldly declared her intent to defeat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania in Las Vegas if they were to compete for the title.
“I’ve expressed this sentiment several times in my previous interviews and appearances; she’s been a major influence on me. I would be thrilled to have a WrestleMania match against Charlotte Flair if she chooses me. I’ve consistently been compared to her. People often call me a Charlotte Flair wannabe, but if she picks me and I emerge victorious at WrestleMania, I won’t be seen as the next Charlotte Flair. I’ll establish myself as Tiffany Stratton because even The Queen operates on Tiffy Time,” Stratton confidently stated. (From 03:15 to 03:50)
