Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton caught fans off guard during the April 4 episode of SmackDown when they went off script during their promo. Since then, the segment has been a big topic of discussion among fans and now Flair has been blamed for letting the crowd reactions affect her during the promo.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Jim Cornette talked about Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Strattons SmackDown promo and how it fell apart. He pointed to Charlotte as the reason things broke down, saying she let the crowd get to her. Instead of staying focused on the promo, she reacted to the audiences boos and let them slow her down, which threw off the entire segment.
The show was in Chicago, and the crowd decided to cheer for Tiffany and boo Charlotte. Cornette said this wasnt real hate, it was just fans having fun, like they do with Dominik Mysterio. However, Cornette noted that Charlotte made it clear the boos were bothering her, and once the crowd saw that, they kept going even harder.
Cornette pointed out that experienced wrestlers should know how to deal with this kind of thing. Charlotte repeating her lines after getting interrupted made it look like she was reading a script instead of speaking naturally. That told the crowd they were throwing her off, and they took advantage of it.
Cornette also mentioned that other wrestlers earlier in the show kept going strong even when the crowd was loud. They stayed focused. However, Charlotte Flair let the noise distract her and even started talking back to the fans instead of keeping the promo on track.
Cornette felt she should have known better, especially given her experience, and compared the situation to how Ric Flair would have handled it, using the heat to his advantage rather than letting it derail him.
Charlotte Flairs comment, Why is Ludwig Kaiser in my DMs? during her promo with Tiffany Stratton quickly went viral and but Kaiser handled it like a champ. According to Fightful Select, Charlotte didnt look happy after the segment, while some people felt Tiffany did the right thing by standing up for herself, especially since Charlotte had taken over their last promo a few weeks ago.
Backstage, the whole thing was described as a wreck. Both women got some blame, Charlotte for starting it and Tiffany for going too far in her response. One person said people were confused when Charlotte copied Tiffanys voice, and everyone realized things had gone off-script when it got tense.
Well have to wait and see how WWE continues to build the feud between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 41. Theres clearly a lot of drama between them, and fans are hoping things settle down so the storyline can stay on track.
