With WWE Evolution only days away, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has openly criticized Tiffany Stratton’s portrayal as the WWE Women’s Champion. He expressed his doubts about her current babyface gimmick during a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, arguing that her character is not connecting with the audience as expected. Stratton is set to defend her title against Trish Stratus this Sunday, July 13, in what will be a highly anticipated main event.
Bully Ray Questions the Effectiveness of Stratton’s Babyface Image
Bully Ray voiced strong skepticism about Stratton’s ability to be relatable and engaging in her current role. He questioned what about her character makes her a babyface and whether fans find any real reason to care for her. While he commended her athleticism, particularly highlighting her impressive moonsault, he doubted if any other aspect of her persona has resonated with the crowd.
I don’t know what makes Tiffany Stratton a babyface. I have absolutely no idea,
said Bully.
I don’t know where the relatability is. I don’t know where the people can latch onto her. I don’t know where they can care for her.
—Bully Ray
She has a great moonsault. A pretty moonsault. Other than that, is anything else resonating with you?

Concerns About Stratton’s Future if Title Changes Hands
Bully also speculated on the possible implications if Trish Stratus defeats Stratton at WWE Evolution. He warned that a title change could indicate that WWE is ready to abandon the current push for Stratton, viewing the babyface experiment as unsuccessful. This outlook amplifies the tension surrounding the match and Stratton’s place within the company’s plans moving forward.
If they take the championship off of Tiffany Stratton and put it on Trish Stratus, they’re basically saying, ‘Alright, the Tiffany experiment kind of didn’t work out.’

Potential for a Dramatic Heel Turn and Storyline Shake-Up
To counteract the perceived failure of Stratton’s babyface run, Bully suggested a dramatic storyline twist that would turn her heel and rejuvenate her character. He envisioned a post-match scenario where Stratton attacks Stratus viciously after the bout, using Stratus’ own championship belt as a weapon. This angle could not only generate significant heat for Stratton but also lead to a storyline injury for Stratus, forcing her to vacate the title and creating new narrative opportunities.
Tiffany slides back in the ring, bing, nails [Trish] right in the back of the head… beats the shit out of Trish Stratus with her own belt, beats her down some more… takes the belt, throws it back on her and leaves.
—Bully Ray
