Early on, Flair dominated some of the exchanges, forcing Stratton into defence. But Stratton exhibited composure beyond what many expected for a first-time WrestleMania competitor.

At one point Flair targeted Stratton’s leg — the commentary noted she was “going to the knee to set up the Figure-Eight” (Flair’s signature submission) and to blunt Stratton’s high-impact aerial offense. Yahoo Sports+1
Stratton showed resilience: trading chops, hitting a spinebuster, then climbing top rope for big aerial strikes.
