Ric Flair didn’t like Charlotte/Tiffany Stratton WWE SmackDown segment: ‘It’s very sensitive’

Posted: Apr 9th 2025 By: Josh Nason

As the father of Charlotte Flair, Ric Flair has some thoughts on what occurred last Friday on WWE SmackDown but isn’t telling anyone what they are.

Flair appeared on Busted Open Radio Tuesday and was asked about the segment between Charlotte and WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton as part of the build to their WrestleMania 41 title match. The in-ring promo segment went a bit off-script with Stratton poking fun at Charlotte’s divorces with the challenger asking why Stratton’s boyfriend – WWE’s Kaiser – was “in her DMs.”

“I have an opinion, but I don’t really want to voice it. I can say this: it’s very sensitive. I didn’t like it, but wrestling is wrestling. I hate when they use me, but Charlotte said it right: you think that’s the first time hearing my name?,” Flair said before putting over his daughter’s work ethic and that she is “so much better of a worker than I ever was.”

“She’ll be the best worker in the business, female, until the day she decides to retire,” he added.

He was asked about whether anything was off-limits when it came to promos while he was an active wrestler and he said they stayed away from each other’s families. He said he has no idea what led into the Charlotte/Tiffany promo but he imagined the content wasn’t discussed beforehand.

“If they wanted people talking about (the match), they got people talking about it,” he said.
