Charlotte Flair faces possible firing after attacking Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown, with Wade Barrett issuing direct warning ahead of WrestleMania match.
An altercation during this week’s SmackDown has placed Charlotte Flair in a precarious position with WWE management. The incident unfolded after Tiffany Stratton defeated Roxanne Perez, with Flair’s actions drawing immediate repercussions from the announce team.
Flair launched a post-match attack on Stratton, violently throwing her onto the commentators’ table. The assault prompted WWE commentator Wade Barrett to step in and confront Flair directly, issuing a stern warning:
You’re going to end up being fired.
The conflict between Flair and Stratton has intensified over recent weeks, with reports suggesting their verbal exchanges have ventured beyond scripted content. The two competitors are set to square off for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Speaking on Sportskeeda’s BroDown program, former WWE writer Vince Russo criticized the company’s handling of the situation:
People really want to believe that this is real. There was nothing real about it tonight; it was 100 percent wrestling. I would have tried to keep that realism, that personal feeling a little bit more, but they turned it all into a wrestling angle.
With only one SmackDown remaining before WrestleMania 41, both competitors have a final opportunity to build momentum for their championship bout. Barrett’s intervention suggests WWE may impose consequences should Flair’s aggressive behavior continue beyond acceptable boundaries.
