The glitz and glamour of WrestleMania 41 was on full display Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium, but one of the most talked-about showdowns belonged to Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair. After weeks of fiery promos and physical altercations, the two WWE Superstars finally collided in a one-on-one clash that delivered on every level. In a match filled with emotion, high-impact moments, and brutal strategy, Stratton walked away still WWE Women’s Champion.
Charlotte Flair Looked to Take Control Early On
From the opening bell, the tension between the two was palpable. Charlotte Flair, the multi-time champion and wrestling royalty, took control early, setting a blistering pace. But Stratton, the fast-rising star who has quickly proven she belongs on the biggest stage, gave as good as she got—and then some.
The early moments spilled outside the ring as Stratton launched Flair into the steel ring post, setting the tone for what would be a hard-hitting contest. Back inside, Stratton maintained control with an aggressive offensive flurry, but Flair showed why she’s one of the most decorated Superstars in WWE history, surviving a corner slam and answering with a devastating Devil’s Kiss, made famous by NJPW’s Stephanie Vaquer.
As the match wore on, both women began targeting each other’s legs—a theme that would ultimately define the latter half of the bout. Flair’s knee was visibly compromised after a high-impact exchange, and Stratton pounced, systematically dismantling it with chop blocks and ring post attacks. Flair returned the favor with her own brutal strikes, slamming Stratton’s leg into the ring post multiple times and softening her up for the Figure Four.
Tiffany Stratton Targeted Flair’s Damaged Knee
Just when it looked like Flair was on the verge of locking in her signature submission, Stratton countered with a targeted strike to Flair’s already damaged knee. The champion then shifted momentum back in her favor with a series of reversals, including a rolling senton that left both competitors struggling to regain footing.
Flair nearly sealed the deal with a perfectly-timed Natural Selection from the top rope, but Stratton dug deep and kicked out, leaving the crowd stunned. The final moments were a frenetic display of resilience, with Flair going for the figure four once again—only to be reversed. A missed boot led to Flair crashing into the turnbuckle, and Stratton capitalized with a picture-perfect whiplash maneuver that left Flair dazed.
From there, Stratton soared with a senton followed by her signature Prettiest Moonsault Ever, securing the three-count and retaining her WWE Women’s Championship in one of the night’s most hard-fought matches.
The victory further solidifies Stratton’s status as a top-tier competitor on the WWE roster. While Charlotte Flair remains a formidable presence in the women’s division, Saturday night belonged to Stratton—and she made sure the world knew it.
