Trump posts Easter greeting — then shares a second one where he doesn’t hold back

President Donald Trump wished all Americans a happy Easter in two separate messages on Sunday, with one directed at “Radical Left Lunatics” he claims are trying to derail his administration’s plans on illegal immigration and border security.

Trump posted the first Easter message on his Truth Social platform on Sunday morning.

“Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter! Whether you are heading out to Church or, watching Service from home, may this day be full of Peace and Joy for all who celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. HE IS RISEN!!” Trump wrote.

Just six minutes later, Trump posted a second message addressing those he called “Radical Left Lunatics” in a very different tone.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HOSTS EASTER DINNER WITH ‘WORSHIP AND PRAYERS’

“Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country,” the post read.

The president’s post continued: “Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten!”

Trump went on to call out “Sleepy Joe Biden,” claiming the former president purposefully allowed millions of criminals into the U.S. through “an Open Borders Policy” that Trump called “the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America.”

FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP SHARES GOOD FRIDAY MESSAGE AHEAD OF EASTER

Trump called Biden America’s “WORST and most Incompetent President” before concluding his Easter message with mentions of the Biden autopen controversy and the 2020 presidential election.

“… and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!” Trump’s post read.

Trump has faced pushback in recent weeks over his administration’s plans to deport violent criminal illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling early Saturday morning blocking, at least for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under the act.

The high court previously said that the Trump administration could conduct deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, as long as the suspected illegal immigrants are given due process to challenge their removal from the U.S.

Mexican nationals arrested after traffic stop uncovers 180,000 rounds of ammo

Two Mexican nationals in the U.S. on nonimmigrant visas were arrested during a traffic stop in Colorado last month while transporting 180,000 rounds of ammunition, authorities said Wednesday.

Caesar Ramon Martinez Solis, 41, and Humberto Ivan Amador Gavira, 24, both of Mexico, were pulled over in Canon City on March 26, the U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Colorado said in a news release.

Two Fremont County detectives had spotted a white Chevrolet van passing them without dimming its headlights, in violation of state law, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Canon City Daily Record. The detectives said the van also failed to signal when turning into a gas station and had a defective license plate lamp.

During the traffic stop, the detectives discovered approximately 150 boxes of .308 ammunition and approximately 30 boxes of 7.62 ammunition, officials said. Each box was labeled as containing 1,000 rounds.

Martinez Solis agreed to speak with U.S. Department of Homeland Security special agents and waive his right to an attorney, according to the affidavit.

Martinez Solis told authorities that he and Amador Garcia, whom he claimed was his brother-in-law, had traveled from Mexico to Denver a day earlier to purchase a vehicle before driving to Salt Lake City to look at another vehicle he was interested in buying.

In Salt Lake City, the men stopped at a firearms and ammunition store, where Amador Garcia bought the ammunition, according to the affidavit.

“[Martinez Solis] further explained that he did not know the intent with the ammunition but that he believed it was destined for Pueblo,” the affidavit stated. Pueblo is a city in Colorado located about 113 miles south of Denver.

Martinez Solis added that the intended destination was on Amador Garcia’s phone, according to the affidavit. Authorities did not specify the destination.

Martinez Solis and Amador Garcia were both charged with Unlawful Possession of Ammunition by Alien Admitted Under a Nonimmigrant Visa.

The Denver Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations and the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case with help from the Denver Field Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Officials said the case is part of Operation Take Back America, a federal initiative designed “to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations.”

Another twist in Trump’s trade war — and this one just flew under the radar

Chinese airlines have begun returning Boeing aircraft to the U.S., with one 737 Max recently landing back at a Boeing production hub in Seattle over the weekend, according to Reuters.

Saturday’s return occurred shortly after China ordered its airlines not to take further deliveries of Boeing aircraft in response to the U.S. imposing 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, Bloomberg News reported last week.

A trio of 737 Max 8 jets that were originally being readied at Boeing’s Zhoushan delivery center for two Chinese airlines were recalled to the U.S. last week, according to aviation news service The Air Current, citing two people familiar with Boeing’s plans.

Reuters confirmed over the weekend that a witness saw a Boeing jet intended for China’s Xiamen Airlines landing back at the planemaker’s production hub in Seattle. The aircraft, which was painted with Xiamen livery, was one of the several 737 Max jets waiting at the Zhoushan completion center for final work and delivery to the Chinese carrier. 

CHINA HALTS BOEING JET ORDERS

Fox News Digital reached out to Boeing and Xiamen Airlines for comment, but they did not immediately respond. 

Lin Jian, the chief spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a press conference on April 16 that he was “not familiar with” China making any formal announcement telling its airlines to refuse delivery from Boeing. 

300 DELTA PASSENGERS LEFT STRANDED ON TARMAC OVERNIGHT AFTER STORMS DIVERT PLANES TO AIRPORT WITHOUT CUSTOMS

The Air Current said China’s order to halt Boeing deliveries has also affected domestic business. A Chinese aircraft lessor saw another Chinese airline back away from its commitment to take delivery, forcing the lessor to remarket the already-built 737 Max 8 to other airlines, the outlet reported, citing two people familiar with the development.

Analysts also said airline CEOs may rather defer plane deliveries than pay duties, according to Reuters, which could potentially damage Chinese airline operations.

Boeing, a “top U.S. exporter” that was angling to challenge Airbus’ dominance in the Chinese market, may be significantly impacted by the trade war as well.

Boeing’s year-to-date deliveries show that 18 aircraft have been delivered to nine airlines in China. The country’s top three airlines – Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines – have plans to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025-2027, Reuters reported.

The tariff war and U-turn over deliveries comes as Boeing has been recovering from an almost five-year import freeze on 737 MAX jets. The suspension in China began in 2019 over safety concerns following two fatal crashes involving the plane model in Indonesia and Ethiopia. 

Democrat at center of MS-13 illegal saga responds to grieving angel mom’s criticism

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., responded after facing backlash from one of his constituents, grieving angel mom Patty Morin — who accused him of advocating for an alleged MS-13 gang member while ignoring her own family’s pain after an illegal immigrant brutally raped and murdered her daughter in 2023. 

“What happened to the Morin family was awful and unacceptable. I cannot imagine losing a child like they lost Rachel, and I said at the time that my heart goes out to the Morin family,” Van Hollen told Shannon Bream on Sunday. 

“I’m glad that the killer of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That’s how we hold guilty people accountable – in a Court of Law. Courts of law are also where people get their due process rights respected,” he added.

RACHEL MORIN MURDER: ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUSPECT DENIED EVER BEING IN MARYLAND AT TIME OF CRIME

Patty Morin criticized Van Hollen while appearing as a special guest during a White House press briefing last week, accusing him of “barely” acknowledging her daughter’s brutal death and exhibiting different priorities by using “taxpayer money” to fly to El Salvador and work to bring back an illegal immigrant.

Van Hollen maintains that the Trump administration, who has continually alleged that deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an MS-13 gang member, should present evidence against him in a court of law instead of a court of public opinion.

The Maryland Democrat drew ire from Republicans for visiting Abrego Garcia in an El Salvador megaprison, CECOT, last week amid a lengthy and ongoing push for his return to the U.S.

RACHEL MORIN’S ‘BUM’ KILLER MOOCHED OFF LOCALS BEFORE MURDERING MOM OF 5: LAWYER

At the same time, the Rachel Morin case reemerged in the national spotlight after a jury convicted Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, of brutally raping, strangling and beating the Maryland mom of five to death in a quaint community northeast of Baltimore.

Van Hollen stressed that “zero connection” exists between Morin’s murder and the international spectacle involving Abrego Garcia’s deportation. At the same time, he voiced his “concern” over Morin’s murder.

“My heart goes out to every Maryland family that is the victim of violence, regardless of the perpetrator, and that is why I am very glad… that a court of law has convicted her killer. That is where we litigate these issues,” he said. 

“That is where the Trump administration admitted that they had wrongfully detained and deported Abrego Garcia. My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody. I would hope that all of us would understand that principle.”

Knife-wielding suspect shot dead by police after Easter stabbing spree

An officer-involved shooting took place on Easter Sunday in National Harbor, Maryland. 

Police say around 8:20 a.m. officers responded to a stabbing call, where a man and a woman were found with “critical stab wounds.”

“Before fleeing that scene, the suspect also set fire to the apartment,” Prince George’s County Police Department Chief Malik Aziz said during a media conference. “Officers learned the stabbing was domestic-related, and the suspect was known to the victims.”

Less than two hours later, “Officers responded to the National Harbor where they encountered the suspect in that earlier stabbing at St. George Blvd and Potomac Passage. The suspect was still armed with a knife and moved towards an officer.”

Two officers discharged their duty weapons, Aziz said. The suspect was struck an unknown number of times. The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.

No officers were injured in the incident.

Mom describes transformation from being non-religious to mother of first millennial saint

Not everyone has the patience of a saint — but Antonia Salzano’s son, Carlo, did.

With Carlo Acutis’ canonization by Pope Francis just one week away, he’s already been globally heralded as the first-ever millennial saint.

But his mother, admittedly, never shared the same concern for her spiritual life. 

She recently told Fox News Digital she was “far away” from the church after being raised in a non-religious household. She attended Catholic school out of sheer convenience, and had only stepped foot inside a church on three distinct occasions — all of which were to complete sacraments that aligned with her school curriculum. 

ITALIAN TEENAGER TO BE CANONIZED AS FIRST MILLENNIAL CATHOLIC SAINT

To Antonia, it was protocol — a matriculation, even, of sorts — as her Catholic sacraments were likened to assignments.

That is, until Carlo was five years old and a beloved priest from Bologna, Italy, who had “the discernment of the spirit,” told Antonia that her young boy would grow up to be someone special.

Struck by the priest’s prediction, it marked the moment her life would change forever.

“Carlo, for me, was a savior,” Antonia told the outlet. “He was a mystic.”

The soon-to-be saint and his mother would study theology and attend daily mass together, often at the latter’s encouragement. When he later died at the age of 15, he visited Antonia in a dream, announcing he would one day be canonized following news of the first of two miracles attributed to his intercession.

That day would be April 27, 2025.

‘TRULY UNIQUE’: EXPERTS REVEAL DETAILS ABOUT A 16TH-CENTURY CATHOLIC SAINT FOUND ‘PERFECTLY PRESERVED’

Four years after Carlo’s death from leukemia in 2006, Antonia would become a recipient of her son’s intercession in her own right.

“When Carlo died, I was 39 years old, and then I started to try to have other children. I said, ‘I’m still young, maybe I can try, no?’ [But] the children didn’t arrive. Then I had started on my practice to adopt a child, but in Italy, it’s very difficult… I had lost all my hopes to have children by myself,” she explained. “Once I dreamed about Carlo, he told me, ‘listen, you will become, again, a mother. Don’t worry.’ And, one month after, I became pregnant.”

After years of struggling to accept that she’d never be a mother again, her twins, Francesca and Michele, would share a due date on the anniversary of Carlo’s passing.

“He [Carlo] understood there was a lack of faith… so he used the internet for goodness.”

— Antonia Salzano, mother of Carlo Acutis

Born in 1991 and a product of his 1990s-2000s upbringing, Antonia told the outlet that Carlo’s mission was to evangelize using the internet.

Before technology would pique his intrigue, Carlo was a charitable child — spending his early years helping those in need in his neighborhood of Milan, where he often provided garments and food for the city’s homeless population. 

“Mother Teresa used to say we don’t need to help around the world because it’s sufficient to go outside our house where we will find our Calcutta,” she said. “And Carlo found his Calcutta in Milano.”

When it dawned on Carlo that feeding a soul is as vital as feeding a stomach, the tech-savvy teenager honed his website-building skills to document Eucharistic miracles and Marian apparitions.

It was, as Antonia described, “the light side of the internet.”

“Sometimes we are unprepared about this impact of social media, the internet,” Antonia said. “I understood straight away that the internet had the light side of internet. And you could say that there is also the dark side. Unfortunately, especially young people, pass hours in front of these things and they lose their freedom. So, it can be very dangerous.”

Those dangers are explored in the new documentary film, “Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality,” in which Antonia offers commentary. The film, a joint effort between Castletown Media and Jim Wahlberg’s Wahl Street Productions — which premieres in tandem with Carlo’s canonization — exposes the social dilemma of social media by challenging a group of teenagers to part ways with their devices on a Catholic pilgrimage to Carlo’s tomb. 

“[The world] wants to digitalize your soul… But, with Jesus, we don’t have to fear.”

— Antonia Salzano

In speaking about the film, Antonia described her son as being a “sign of hope” amid the virtual landscape of our society — as public discourse surrounding Carlo’s impact has led to monikers like “God’s Influencer” and “The Patron Saint of the Internet.”

‘ROSARY’ BEATS ROGAN: IS FAITH-BASED MEDIA BECOMING MAINSTREAM?

“He [Carlo] understood there was a lack of faith. He used to say there are thousands of people going in front of a concert, in front of a football match. I don’t see them in front of the Tabernacle, where there is the house of Jesus that is really present among us,” she explained. “So he used the internet for goodness. He lived all the dangers the young people and all the people are living now. But he was able to dominate, to be free, always to maintain his freedom, not to become a slave [to it].”

Through his technological endeavors and spiritual discipline, Carlo Acutis would end up leaving his global mark, as Catholic leaders all over the world now look to him to relate to today’s younger generations.

His mother agrees, echoing the high priests’ position that Carlo is an antidote to our social media-addicted society.

“Surely Carlo is a work of God. So, the fact that God gives through Carlo all these graces is… probably, God wants to help us, our society, our young people; the parents as well, because the problem is also the parents,” she told Fox News Digital.

“Carlo is an instrument, because he lived the things we are living. He was dressed like most of the young people, the teenagers. Most of the saints of the past sometimes seem unreachable, because they are too high, too holy. Sometimes they seem very far away from us. Instead, [Carlo] came to teach us that, in the daily life, we can become holy in our routine. Thinking of God, offering our work to God with a prayer, our life becomes a continuous prayer. So the mysticism… we are all mystic because we have the Holy Trinity inside us. The only problem is that we don’t have the connection with the presence of God in us.”

Antonia asserted it’s a matter of having that desire to connect.

“Of course, at the beginning it will not be easy,” she started. “But with practice, with the constant will, if we really desire [this] in our heart, God will reward us. We have to have that desire in the soul of the people.”

“Carlo used to say that all are born originals, but many die as photocopies… the important thing is to remind these children that they are all unique.”

— Antonia Salzano

Antonia, now a devoted Catholic who says the sacraments she’s made are “the supernatural means God uses to give us grace,” concluded by imploring readers to realize that we are all original works of art and have a “special project” that God has in store for each one of us — if only we’re receptive to it.

“Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality” will have its global debut on April 21 in Washington, D.C., before airing at the Vatican on April 24, followed by a theatrical release on April 27 — the same day Carlo will be canonized in Rome’s St. Peter’s Square.

REAL ID crackdown follows blue states’ moves with illegal immigrant drivers licenses

Americans are scrambling to obtain a state-issued REAL ID in order to travel by plane ahead of a federal deadline next month, which comes after states from coast to coast changed their laws surrounding driver’s licenses to permit illegal immigrants to drive. 

Americans will need to obtain a REAL ID, which is a federally-compliant driver’s license or other identification that meets higher standards than state-issued licenses, in order to easily travel by air, the Department of Homeland Security explains on its website. Only legal U.S. citizens or residents can obtain the identification card, while valid U.S. passports can also still be used instead of a REAL ID for domestic air travel. 

Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005 to heighten security requirements for driver’s licenses in response to the attacks on 9/11. Though some states began complying with the law more than a decade ago, enforcement for all states had been repeatedly delayed due to the pandemic, DMV backlogs, as well as some states, such as South Carolina, initially refusing to comply. 

The move to officially enforce REAL IDs at the national level for domestic air travel comes after 19 states and Washington, D.C., put laws on the books allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. 

HOUSE REPUBLICAN’S BILL WOULD RIP FEDERAL FUNDS FROM STATES THAT GIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DRIVER’S LICENSES

The states, which stretch from New York and New Jersey to California and Washington state, changed their laws in order to allow illegal immigrants to drive freely to work, while also ensuring they meet driving skill requirements and could obtain car insurance to bolster road safety, various liberal lawmakers and immigrant advocacy groups said as they rallied support for the law changes.

“Expanding access to driver’s licenses is critical for the safety of New Jerseyans and a step toward building a stronger and fairer New Jersey for all,” New Jersey Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, for example, said in 2019 after signing the Garden State’s legislation allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. 

LEGAL IMMIGRANT OUTRAGED OVER MINNESOTA OFFERING DRIVER’S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

 “Allowing residents the opportunity to obtain driver’s licenses regardless of their immigration status will decrease the number of uninsured drivers and increase safety on our roads. I thank my partners in the Legislature for sending this important bill to my desk,” he added. 

Just a few months after New Jersey’s 2021 law change, the state issued 100,000 new permits, a 65% jump compared to the same three-month period in years prior, NJ Spotlight News reported at the time. 

BONDI ANNOUNCES NEW LAWSUITS AGAINST STATES ALLEGEDLY FAILING TO COMPLY WITH IMMIGRATION ACTIONS

New Jersey is among the states that have reported long wait times at DMVs as residents scramble to obtain a REAL ID to fly ahead of the May 7 deadline. 

The states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses include: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. Washington state had a law on the books allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses since 1993, National Conference of State Legislatures data show, while most states, such as Illinois and California, began changing their laws starting in 2012. 

In Massachusetts in 2022, Republican Gov. Charlie Baker vetoed legislation allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, citing that local DMVs did not have the ability to verify the validity of foreign documents and that it would overall weaken the validity of state driver’s licenses. 

“I cannot sign this legislation because it requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue state credentials to people without the ability to verify their identity. The Registry does not have the expertise or ability to verify the validity of many types of documents from other countries,” Baker said at the time. “Consequently, a standard Massachusetts driver’s license will no longer confirm that a person is who they say they are.” 

Massachusetts ultimately allowed illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses through a ballot initiative. 

Domestic air travelers who are in the nation illegally are required to present a valid and up-to-date photo ID to board a flight, and can show documents such as a driver’s license, a current foreign passport, a military ID or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Employment Authorization Card, and other forms of photo IDs, according to various immigrant advocacy groups. 

SANCTUARY STATE’S ‘GREEN LIGHT’ LAW IS RED FLAG FOR AMERICANS’ SAFETY, NATIONAL SECURITY: EXPERTS

The Trump administration, which has been on an illegal immigration deportation blitz, revealed in a memo last week that the REAL ID requirement will further crack down on illegal aliens moving freely around the country. 

A Department of Homeland Security memo exclusively obtained by Fox Digital last week outlined that part of the motivation for the Trump administration to enforce the REAL ID law is to prevent those in the country illegally from flying – unless they are looking to self-deport on an international flight.

“Under Biden, illegal aliens used non-compliant IDs from sanctuary cities to board flights, but REAL ID’s higher security standards make it nearly impossible to forge legitimate documents, ensuring only verified travelers can fly,” the memo states. 

“This closes the gaping vulnerabilities Biden’s policies created, preventing criminals and potential terrorists from exploiting our aviation system, as seen during 9/11 when fraudulent IDs enabled attacks,” the memo continues.

NEW JERSEY BILL TO LET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GET DRIVERS’ LICENSES ADVANCES TO GOVERNOR’S DESK

The agency emphasized that the measure prevents people in the country illegally from traveling within the U.S.

“DHS and TSA are clear, the only place an illegal alien should be flying is home. Under Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership, illegal aliens will be barred from domestic flights, with one exception: illegal aliens self-deporting on international flights will be allowed to board without a REAL ID, encouraging their exit from the U.S.,” it states.

While many conservatives backed the REAL ID Act, both in 2005 and now, some have said it bolsters the oversight “Big Brother” holds over the country. 

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FLOOD DMVS IN NY AFTER NEW DRIVERS LICENSE LAW TAKES EFFECT

“Evidently, existing ID requirements for American citizens just aren’t adequate now, so Big Brother is forcing us through more hoops for the ‘right’ to travel within our own country,” former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin posted to X. 

“If you think REAL ID is about election integrity, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Someone has lied to you, or you’re engaged in wishful thinking. Please don’t shoot the messenger,” Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., wrote on X last week. 

“REAL ID is a 2005 George Bush-era Patriot Act overreach that went completely unenforced until Trump got into office. Let me guess: he’s playing 4D chess and I should just go along with it?” Massie wrote in another post. 

TOP TRUMP AGENCY HYPES IMPORTANCE OF REAL ID ENFORCEMENT, CITING ONE KEY REASON

President Donald Trump, under his first administration, pushed back the REAL ID October 2020 deadline as the pandemic raged. The Biden administration’s DHS established the May 7, 2025, deadline in 2022. 

Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, told Fox News Digital in a statement last week: “REAL IDs make identification harder to forge, thwarting criminals and terrorists. 81% of air travelers hold REAL ID-compliant or acceptable IDs. DHS will continue to collaborate with state, local, and airport authorities to inform the public, facilitate compliance, curb wait times and prevent fraud.”

“DHS responds to official correspondence through official channels,” McLaughlin added.

WWE’s blonde bombshell looks unrecognizable after WrestleMania debut

LAS VEGAS – Tiffany Stratton gave Charlotte Flair a battle at WrestleMania 41 on Saturday night and came out the winner in a match for her WWE Women’s Championship.

It was Stratton’s WrestleMania debut as she’s been on the main roster for about a year. Stratton won the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match in the summer and later cashed in the opportunity to beat Bianca Belair and Nia Jax for the title.

Flair, who won the 2025 women’s Royal Rumble, hoped to add to her historic resume. But Stratton held strong and defeated one of the greatest women’s wrestlers the WWE has seen.

It appeared Stratton had chipped a tooth during the match to go along with a cut on her head but she showed off her smile on social media in an attempt to dispel the rumors. She talked about the toll she took at the post-WrestleMania 41 press conference.

“We’re looking like a broke down Barbie right now,” Stratton told reporters. “I feel beat up emotionally and physically. I feel a little emotional. It’s hard for me to feel emotions after having matches just because my adrenaline is going crazy, but I’m coming down now and I’m starting to feel all the emotions and feel like I just went through the fight of my life and had my WrestleMania debut.

“We’re feeling emotional. We’re feeling beat up. But I’m super happy and I’m super grateful for everything.”

Stratton also suggested that squaring off against Flair was a dream come true.

“She was my dream opponent. She was my dream feud. And making my WrestleMania debut and having Charlotte Flair be my opponent, the story (wrote) itself,” she explained. “I can’t believe I defeated Charlotte Flair. I don’t think it set in yet. I’m still kinda processing everything right now. 

“My face is a little beat up, but I feel amazing. I’m gonna take this momentum and I’m gonna take this title reign and make it the best title reign of my life.”
