7 Worst Times Wrestlers Went Off-Script On Live TV

7. Charlotte Flair & Tiffany Stratton

It takes something to blow an entire WrestleMania feud in one interaction. Still, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton managed to accomplish that exact feat in one toe-curlingly awkward exchange on the April 4th, 2025 episode of SmackDown. Tensions had been boiling in previous weeks, with Charlotte being particularly bullish in her promos, but nothing could prepare fans for the brutal interaction the pair shared live on air.

Chicago was in a typically rowdy mood, and the relentless and intense booing of Charlotte had her visibly rattled. When Stratton poured fuel on that fire by picking at Charlotte crying over her divorce on the Sherri podcast, declaring that she was "0-3" in marriages, things went from awkward to nuclear. 

Charlotte retaliated by taking things way too far, suggesting that Stratton's then boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, had been in her DMs. The whole thing was a chaotic mess, with Stratton going for the jugular and Flair losing it with her responses. Blurring the lines between fiction and reality in the name of scoring points is a regular occurrence in wrestling, but this interaction did nothing for either superstar. Stratton went on to beat Flair at WrestleMania 42, with Charlotte requiring a complete character makeover to blow over this uncomfortable feud.
