In the co-main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania 41, Tiffany Stratton walked into her WWE Women’s Championship defense with signature flair—literally and figuratively—as her arrival came complete with a custom Barbie Playbox presentation, courtesy of Mattel.

Tiffany Stratton made her entrance following a series of vignettes, stepping out in a “custom Barbie playbox courtesy of Mattel,” as noted by Michael Cole. Charlotte Flair then made her way down the ramp, taking her time before eventually arriving at ringside. Once the bell rang, Stratton wasted no time, immediately tackling Flair as commentary highlighted the rising tension between the two Superstars.

Their battle quickly spilled to the outside before returning to the ring, where Stratton kept up her aggressive pace. She stayed in control for the early portion of the match, dominating Flair in and out of the corners. Eventually, Flair managed to turn things around, drawing a chorus of boos from the crowd. At one point, Flair attempted to replicate a signature Stephanie Vaquer move—one that Booker T typically reacts to with his familiar “unh unh unh”—but it barely registered with the crowd. Flair simply did not bring the sass needed to sell the moment.

From there, Flair returned to her usual antics—disrespectful slaps, arrogant gestures, and trash talk—slowing the match to a crawl. A pin attempt came up short, much like her previous relationships, as one might say.

Stratton fired back with a handspring attack that created some breathing room. Flair managed a rope-assisted jawbreaker and started climbing the turnbuckles, but Stratton pulled her down and nailed a rolling Senton. The pace finally picked up. Flair botched a springboard spear attempt, which Stratton converted into a near fall. The match became a back-and-forth flurry of offense, but the crowd remained largely disengaged.

Flair, while chopping a kneeling Stratton, yelled, “Get up, bitch, show me what you got,” but the crowd could hardly be bothered to react. Stratton began mounting a comeback, sparking a slight reaction before Flair leveled her with a side kick. After missing with Natural Selection, Flair landed a sit-out powerbomb for a two-count.

The energy in the arena was still lacking. Flair’s repeated chops did little to awaken the fans, and the match felt stuck in limbo. Stratton avoided a back suplex by landing on her feet, sidestepped a Big Boot, and connected with a spinebuster for another close call. Commentary themselves seemed disengaged.

Flair climbed the turnbuckles and leapt for a crossbody, but Stratton rolled through into a pin for a near fall. Flair quickly responded with knee strikes, sending Stratton outside. Flair then looked to hit a moonsault, but Stratton swept her leg, targeting her surgically-repaired knee. Stratton rammed Flair’s knee into the mat, only to be caught with a weak kick and a sluggish pin attempt.

Flair continued her attack by pulling Stratton into the corner and slamming her knee into the ring post, now zeroing in on the champion’s leg. After some time, Flair attempted to lock in the Figure Four, but Stratton countered by targeting Flair’s own injured knee, forcing a break.

Stratton climbed the ropes and went for the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but Flair got her knees up, leaving both women down. They battled in the corner, where Flair shoved Stratton off the top rope, causing her to crash face-first to the mat. Flair then dove off the top rope and hit Natural Selection for another near fall, finally stirring some noise from the crowd.

Looking flustered—if not physically uncomfortable—Flair talked trash directly into Stratton’s face, but was drowned out by boos. Stratton slapped Flair in response. Flair answered with a chop block to the knee and tried for the Figure Four again. Stratton reversed with a roll-up attempt. Flair escaped.

Stratton sent Flair crashing into the turnbuckles twice in a row. She then hoisted Flair for another rolling Senton and climbed the ropes once more. This time, she connected with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, scoring the pinfall victory.
