[SmackDown Spoilers] Tiffany and Charlotte full unusual segment (Update) (stream.new)

submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Per SRS, both women were shooting back and forth according to everyone he asked, and from what I read WWE has heavily edited the segment afterwards for future replays, so the full OG segment is above should anyone wanna compare.

Edit: per PWI:

The Smackdown face-off with Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton went well off the planned back and forth verbiage, PWInsider.com is told by several sources.

Towards the end of the segment, there were references made by Stratton about Flair being "alone" and "0-3" outside the ring, which was an allusion to her divorces, followed by Flair asking why Stratton's signifigant other, Ludwig Kaiser, was in Flair's DMs.

The belief among those we've spoken with this morning is that Stratton fired away on Flair in retaliation for how Flair "ate her up" on a previous face to face segment

Some we spoke with felt Stratton stood up for herself in a way that put the spotlight back on her (and in front of a Chicago crowd was sincerely pro-Stratton) while others felt that the segment going awry towards the end didn't help anyone.

Several we spoke to also noted that Flair was obviously thrown by the crowd, which allowed Stratton's shots to hit even harder.

Flair's final comment about Kaiser came after Stratton had already rolled out of the ring and began exiting the arena. One source referred to it as coming off like "a flailing shot from a boxer who didn't realize they were KO'd" and that Flair was obviously "gotten to', according to one source.

Several of the comments made were cut from WWE's YouTube highlights of the segment. No word yet whether the VOD version of Smackdown will also reflect those edits.

TL,DR: Hopefully they talked before this and did it together, otherwise it could to be a slobberknocker at Mania.

Living up to your legendary father has to be hard, but she is really not living in his shadow, she is becoming his shadow. She uses Ric's moves, has a remix of his music, does his woo and taunts. For somebody that didn't want to be in his shadow she has adopted his entire persona. I was starting to feel some empathy for her, that interview with Sherri (I think) was enlightening to how hard things seem to have been for her with this last year's injury and divorce. Yet, she came back, same old same old, and sure not entirely her fault, at least I assume, but she's beyond stale.

As to this segment, well who's shocked, remember the whole belt drop incident that appears to be because she didn't like the way it was to happen. If you believe that lie it was an accident go back and watch it again, she snatches it away and then drops it to the mat while almost on the verge of laughing.

So then this segment with Tiffany, the crowd broke her, by turning on her and backing everything Tiffany did she "lost her smile," and went to middle school taunt mode, making fun of Tiffany's voice, claiming she's sexting Kaiser, it's just childish and I don't blame WWE for editing it out. I'm not letting Tiffany off the hook, Charlotte was just on TV explaining how hard that divorce was on her mental health, which is serious, and she pulls out those lines, oof, I can see how that could hit hard.

Overall though, this was clearly more entertaining than whatever they were scripted for and it's led to an outpouring of talk about his match that was on the verge of being a "who cares" match earlier this month. I just really hope they discussed this backstage together before hand, otherwise this match may go hard because both sides have some receipts to give.

I'd just like to shoutout Kaiser's response to Charlotte, posting the clip of HBK telling Diana Hart-Smith... "Do. Not. Flatter. Yourself."
