Ludwig Kaiser responds to unexpected mention by Charlotte Flair during her heated exchange with Tiffany Stratton on SmackDown.
Ludwig Kaiser has acknowledged the social media stir created after Charlotte Flair unexpectedly mentioned him during a segment with Tiffany Stratton on the April 4 edition of SmackDown. The interaction between the WrestleMania 41 opponents reportedly contained unplanned personal remarks that were subsequently removed from digital broadcasts.
Kaiser initially responded by sharing a clip featuring Shawn Michaels saying “don’t flatter yourself” before suggesting he would address the situation on RAW. Following the widespread reaction, Kaiser posted on X:
Me waking up in Europe last Saturday with 1566273 notifications on my phone.
The controversy originated when Stratton referenced Flair’s past divorces during their face-off, prompting the 14-time world champion to counter by questioning why Stratton’s boyfriend, Kaiser, was “in her DMs.” This exchange immediately generated significant online discussion among fans but was edited out of WWE’s official uploads on their digital platforms.
Despite speculation that Kaiser would directly address the situation during RAW, he instead focused on questioning his absence from the WrestleMania 41 card without mentioning the incident with Flair. The editing of the SmackDown segment from official WWE channels has further fueled fan discussion about whether the exchange was legitimately unplanned or part of a developing storyline heading into WrestleMania weekend.
