Excitement has soared in the wrestling community following Mariah May’s explosive WWE NXT debut, with a surge of interest in the ongoing Tiffany Stratton and Mariah May WWE comparison. Fan speculation about a possible family connection between the two wrestlers has intensified due to their similar appearances and dynamic personas.
Mariah May entered WWE NXT to an electrifying reception, immediately making her presence known by setting her sights on the reigning NXT Women’s Champion, Jacy Jayne. The buzz had been building since her departure from AEW, as rumors about her move to the Stamford-based wrestling powerhouse swept social media. Her impressive debut has confirmed these speculations, placing her in the spotlight and fueling even more intrigue into her background.
The rapid rise in May’s popularity has sparked a flurry of questions from wrestling fans, many curious about her history and identity. Among the most popular queries is whether May shares any familial ties with WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Their visual similarities and overlapping “Barbie” inspired wrestling aesthetics have caused many to wonder if the two could be sisters or otherwise related.
However, despite these ongoing comparisons, there is no blood relation between Mariah May and Tiffany Stratton. Mariah May is an English wrestler, born and raised in London, England, while Tiffany Stratton hails from Prior Lake, Minnesota, and transitioned from competing as a gymnast into professional wrestling. Both women, known in the ring as “Glamour” (May) and “Buff Barbie” (Stratton), are the same age at 26, showing other parallels beyond just appearance.
Mariah May Shares Her Thoughts on the Comparisons
When asked in an interview on the Ring The Belle podcast about being frequently likened to Tiffany Stratton, Mariah May responded with enthusiasm and respect for her peer. She acknowledged the persistent comparisons and expressed appreciation for being mentioned alongside the WWE Women’s Champion.
“I don’t mind at all. I think Tiffany’s great, I think she’s a superstar. She’s great in the ring. I love her gears, I’m always like, ‘Yeah, that’s cute.’ Everyone will tag me on her pictures or tag her on my pictures. She’s a sweetheart, we spoken before. At the end of the day, there can be multiple blondes. We all love Barbie, we all love the divas. Me, Anna, and Julia were talking about this. We all love the divas and if you think about our age group, remember we came up on Total Divas and Nikki Bella and stuff, so yes, we’re going to look like Barbie dolls, but we’re also some of the greatest wrestlers,”
