Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on how Triple H manages his roster, specifically in relation to the heat between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton leading up to WrestleMania 41.
During the build-up to the Show of Shows, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton were involved in a heated rivalry. The feud took a personal turn during an episode of SmackDown when the two stars went off script and exchanged pointed comments. Tiffany called out Charlotte’s failed marriages, while The Queen fired back by claiming that Ludwig Kaiser, Stratton’s boyfriend at the time, was messaging her in her DMs.
On a recent episode of the podcast *BroDown* with host Mac Davis, Vince Russo recalled watching this incident unfold backstage on WWE’s Netflix docuseries *Unreal*. He mentioned that Triple H didn’t initially know whether the exchange was scripted or real. Russo also revealed that The Game later instructed one of the executives to talk to Tiffany Stratton and demand an apology to Charlotte.
Russo criticized Triple H, saying he should have had that difficult conversation with Stratton himself instead of delegating it. According to Vince, Triple H avoided confronting her because he wanted to be liked by the roster. He said:
> “Just the fact alone of watching *Unreal* and watching him freaking coddle these people. It’s absolutely pathetic. One of the scenes I was watching and this told me everything. It’s when Charlotte and Tiffy went into business for themselves, and there was heat. So Triple H is sitting there at the Gorilla position, ‘Was that scripted?’ He didn’t even know if that was a shoot or not. He doesn’t even know if that was a shoot. Then they come back and they smarten him up that it was a shoot. Triple H, whoever it was, he says, ‘You go tell Tiffy that she needs to apologize.’ No Trips, you need to go tell Tiffy. Why doesn’t he do that? Because he wants to be liked by everybody. So he’s gonna have somebody else be the bad guy.”
Since then, Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair have resolved their issues and delivered a stellar match at WrestleMania 41.
