WWE forced to cut live broadcast after superstar suffers wardrobe malfunction in the ring

WWE fans got more than they bargained for when a wrestler had a wardrobe malfunction while competing.

The incident occurred on February 21 during an episode of Smackdown.

WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was up against Candice LeRae when an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction caused the broadcaster to temporarily display a black screen.

Stratton – formerly Jessica Woynilko – had positioned herself in the corner of the ring as she tried to execute a move on her opponent.

Then, her top slipped, which she was momentarily unaware of before the broadcaster took action.

Stratton, 25, secured victory over LeRae, but was later on the receiving end of a beating from Nia Jax, however, Trish Stratus rushed to help.

The 25-year-old has been one of the best-performing WWE athletes in recent times, and she opened up about her first year fighting under the Smackdown banner earlier this month.

“I would not have changed anything,” Stratton told the Toronto Sun.

“I feel like Elimination Chamber was my breakout performance last year. I’m super excited to be going into Elimination Chamber with Trish Stratus as my tag team partner, and hopefully, we will beat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae at this year’s event in Toronto on March 1st.”

Following the Elimination Chamber, Stratton will look ahead to WrestleMania 41, where she is set to take on Charlotte Flair.

WrestleMania 41 is set to take place on April 19 and 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Charlotte [Flair] is my inspiration,” Stratton added. “She’s who I saw on Friday Night SmackDown and was doing all these cool tricks and flips in the ring, and immediately I was like, she kinda reminds me of myself.”

“I just feel like in my career it’s always been sink or swim and I really truly feel like every single performance I’ve ever had, I’ve barely made it through," she explained.

"I literally just clenched my teeth and I prayed, and somehow each performance ends up better than the last and that’s all I really strive for. I want to keep improving and growing.

"In wrestling, you can never be perfect... you can always keep improving your craft and getting better at promos or your character and in the ring. I want to keep getting better and better. When I enter WrestleMania, I am going to beat The Queen, Charlotte Flair. Who knew Tiffy Time would be this exciting?"
