Reflecting on Her WWE Character and Future Direction
In a candid discussion on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Stratton opened up about feeling creatively stagnant over the past year. She shared,
“I’m kind of just like me. I feel like for the longest for the past year, I was kind of stale. Felt like, you know, there wasn’t any crazy storylines after I won the title. I kind of want to bring back some spunk, so we’re going to be even more heelish Tiffany. We are going to play around with some things… But, yeah, I’m not really sure why the crowd cheers me as a heelish kind of vibe.”

She also expressed a longing to return to a more villainous persona, noting,
“I do miss how my character was down in NXT. Do miss being a heel. I love being a heel and wrestling as a heel. Feel like right now I wrestle as a babyface. I love to just be free. As a heel, I feel more like I can be free and just kind of be like full Tiffy, whereas like kind of right now, I reel it back… So, I do miss wrestling as a heel, doing backstages and promos as a heel. I would say that’s the biggest thing that I miss in NXT.”

Looking forward, she hopes for impactful storylines to deepen her connection with fans and elevate her in-ring performance:
“I hope to hopefully get a really good storyline. One where people can really sink their teeth into it. I feel like I’m kind of missing that right now, and I just want to improve on my wrestling. I want to be able to have matches with anybody and have five-star matches with a broomstick one day.”
