Tiffany Stratton Shares Her Dream Match, Details How Charlotte Flair Inspired Her
Tiffany Stratton would love to face off against two former Women’s Champions in a triple threat match.
The NXT Women’s Champion was featured on the latest edition of UpNXT, during which she shared her dream match and how you’d be hard-pressed to find a better women’s match in history.
“I would have to say a Triple Threat between me, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair. I think we are all highly athletic. We’re all highly competitive, and I honestly believe you will not find a better Women’s match in history,” Stratton claimed.
Stratton made her NXT debut in December 2021 and has been on a steady rise to the top ever since. That journey, however, may not have happened if not for Charlotte Flair. Stratton explained how seeing The Queen on an episode of SmackDown inspired her to apply for a tryout with WWE.
“Well, obviously the Queen herself, Charlotte Flair [inspired me to become a wrestler]. I was actually switching through the channels one night and I saw her on my screen. I think it was a random SmackDown, and I saw her. She’s blonde, she was jacked, and I thought to myself, ‘I could totally do that.’ So I immediately submitted my application on the WWE website, and I never heard back. So I submitted it again, and again, and again. I still heard nothing. So what I did is I found a connection. His name was Greg Gagne. He actually agreed to train me for a little bit, and actually, I took my first bump and he immediately said, ‘This girl has IT.’ So he called Stephanie McMahon, who got in contact with Triple H to get me a tryout and they finally agreed to give me a tryout. They flew me to the Performance Center and then COVID hits, so they had to fly us all back home. I didn’t get invited back for another year and a half and what it did in that year and a half is I went through a bodybuilding prep. I CrossFit’d, and I continued to train in the ring that I first ever took my bump in. Then I finally was invited back and immediately they signed me and now look where we are,” she said.
Tiffany won the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Battleground, defeating Lyra Valkyria. Next up is a meeting with Thea Hail, who won a number one contenders Battle Royal on the June 6 episode of NXT.
Charlotte made her return to SmackDown on June 9, confronting Asuka during the unveiling of her new title. The two women will face off next Friday in a Championship match. Click here to learn more.
