On the Valentine's Day edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton defeated Nia Jax to retain the WWE Women's Championship. Charlotte Flair watched on. Stratton won by disqualification after Candice LeRae got physically involved as she was setting up for her PME finisher.
Trish Stratus would try to save Tiffy but to no avail. As Stratton was laid out, Flair took the time to stroll down to the ring and officially announced that she was challenging Tiffany for the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
This will be Charlotte's first WrestleMania match since 2023. She missed last year's event due to injury. However, this will be Tiffany's first WrestleMania, and much like Charlotte nine years ago, she's going into her first WrestleMania as champion.
