Tiffany Stratton suffers facial injuries after trading barbs over Ludwig Kaiser in WrestleMania debut vs. Charlotte Flair

Tiffany Stratton retained the WWE women’s championship at WrestleMania 41 but suffered visible facial injuries during a physically demanding match against Charlotte Flair. The 25-year-old champion exited Allegiant Stadium with a prominent welt on her forehead and a missing tooth, raising concerns about the physical toll of the contest.

Stratton’s injuries were apparent by the end of the match, though the exact moment of impact was unclear. Observers noted that Flair’s knee brace may have contributed to the damage during several close exchanges.

The high-stakes contest marked Stratton’s WrestleMania debut and Flair’s attempt at capturing her 15th WWE title. The bout was the culmination of an increasingly personal rivalry, which included a tense in-ring exchange where Stratton referenced Flair’s recent divorce. Flair responded on air with a pointed remark involving Ludwig Kaiser, which later drew media attention.

Kaiser, when asked about the incident, confirmed he had not been aware of the segment at the time due to travel. “I was in Europe actually. There’s a big time difference so I woke up to like a million notifications,” he said. He also expressed enthusiasm for the match, highlighting the heightened anticipation surrounding the event.

Stratton ultimately secured the victory with her finishing move, the “Prettiest Moonsault Ever,” but her post-match condition illustrated the intensity of the encounter. Her performance was praised for its resilience, despite the physical cost.
