8 Worst Improvised Moments That Made It To WWE TV
2. Charlotte Flair & Tiffany Stratton’s Super-Awkward Promo Exchange
WWE allows its talent to get a little frisky during WrestleMania season.
This has happened for a fair few years now. In 2012, deep into the ‘PG Era’, CM Punk was allowed to say that Chris Jericho was “bullsh*t”. In 2016, Vince McMahon said he was going to give his son Shane “one last f*cking beating”. The idea is to make the marquee matches on the biggest show of the year feel a little more personal, believable.
This trend reached a wild nadir in 2025. Christ knows what happened here. Perhaps Paul Levesque encouraged Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton to take their gloves off, and sell their WrestleMania 41 match as if it could descend into something shockingly real. Or perhaps Charlotte Flair simply does what she wants.
As had become the norm, Charlotte Flair initially didn’t take a blind bit of notice of anything Stratton said. Charlotte tried to cut a promo but, flustered by the Chicago crowd, gave up on it and actually allowed Stratton to speak. Stratton spoke. Flair couldn’t deal with that. She unretired from the promo with a quickness of which her father would be proud.
In a very, very awkward moment, Flair mimicked Stratton’s high-pitched speech patterns and placed her finger in her ear. “I can’t hear you! You’re so squeaky! It’s like, “Oh my God!”” Charlotte said.
Stratton, sick of Flair’s constant interruptions, said Charlotte “wasn’t the queen of sh*t” before bringing up her divorce in an unapproved line. Tiff then ran away as Charlotte could only pretend she wasn’t bothered. As excruciating as this was to experience, a layer of “Will they shoot on each other?” intrigue was added to the match.
Something not too dissimilar happened a year earlier…
