As the back-and-forth began to fizzle out on the April 4 episode of "Friday Night SmackDown," Stratton went hard saying that after WrestleMania Flair was going to be just as "alone" inside of the ring as she was on the outside and suggested she was "0-3" in her love life — an apparent reference to the divorces she’d gone through. Not to mention that Flair was only months removed from her most recent divorce from fellow pro wrestler Andrade.
The moment was widely talked about and analyzed in the days leading up to their WrestleMania 41 match, which saw Stratton retaining the title. The two have appeared together scantly since then.
On Tuesday, Flair published a piece in The Players’ Tribune recalling the controversial moment. She suggested the slight left a mark on her.
"And I think in those times when people have seen me appear rattled by the booing, those are just the times when I’ve felt like — at least for a moment — the boos aren’t for Charlotte. They’re for Ashley," she wrote referencing her real name, Ashley Fliehr.
