Tiffany Stratton felt ‘kind of stale’ during WWE Women’s title run
Tiffany Stratton described her character as being kind of stale during a recent interview.
Stratton was a guest on No Contest Wrestling recently and, when asked whether she is currently more of a babyface or a heel, said she plans to lean more into her heel side going forward, explaining that she felt her character had become “kind of stale.”
“I feel like for the past year, I was kind of stale. I felt like there weren’t any crazy storylines after I won the title, and I kind of want to bring back some spunk. So we’re going to be even more heelish Tiffany. We’re going to play around with some things. So I’m excited for that.”
Later in the interview, when asked if there was anything she misses about her time in NXT, Stratton said she misses wrestling as a heel.
“I miss how my character was down in NXT. I do miss being a heel. I love being a heel and wrestling as a heel. I 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 kind of right now I reel it back.”
“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.”
Stratton was later asked what fans can expect from her in 2026. She said she hopes to be part of a strong storyline.
“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.”
Up next, Stratton will compete in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match on Saturday, February 28 at the United Center in Chicago. She joins Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Kiana James, and Raquel Rodriguez in the bout.
