Despite WWE trimming the more explosive lines from its official channels, the now-infamous segment between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton isnt completely gone. In fact, the full unedited version is still availablejust not where you might expect it.
While the WWE YouTube channel quietly edited out the most controversial jabs from last Fridays SmackDown, the USA Networks official YouTube channel still has the entire uncut segment live, with nothing removed. That includes Strattons personal digs and Flairs DMs commenteverything is intact.
This comes after Dave Meltzer reported on F4WOnline that the heated exchange wasnt just a case of one person going rogue. According to Meltzer, someone close to Stratton said Flair was the one who went off-script first, prompting Stratton to retaliate. The lines from her, from her standpoint, were retaliation, Meltzer explained. He also said Strattons decision to roll out of the ring like a heel was a defense mechanism to keep the situation from escalating even further.
The segment featured lines that had fans doing double takes, including Stratton telling Flair, Outside the ring, you aint the queen of sht,* and, What is that, zero and three?a shot at Flairs history of divorces. Flair fired back too late with, Is that why Kaisers in my DMs? after Stratton had already walked away.
Sources say both women caught heat backstage, with some calling Flairs response a flailing shot from a boxer who didnt realize they were KOd. WWE sources also believe the segment went off the rails, leading to the edits on their own platform. But the fact that USA Networks version is still up with every uncensored moment intact has fans wondering whats really going on behind the scenes.
Whether WWE plans to take the segment down later or just quietly ignore the unfiltered version, its clear they havent completely buried it. For now, fans who want the full picture still have accessand its not being hidden.
