Tiffany Stratton provides injury update after missing NXT Homecoming
Tiffany Stratton shared an injury update during a recent interview.
The 26-year-old hasn’t wrestled since a double count-out with Jade Cargill on the September 12 episode of SmackDown. During the match, Stratton banged her head on the ringside floor following a moonsault attempt. NXT General Manager Ava later announced that Stratton was not medically cleared for her scheduled match at NXT Homecoming.
Stratton was a guest on Going Ringside recently and explained that she’s fine, but WWE took precautions with her after the spot on SmackDown.
“Physically, I’m okay. Obviously, on that moonsault, it was a little bit of a rough landing. However, I was fine. I think it was just more precautionary and kind of just monitoring and seeing if anything was bad about the fall. But for the most part, I’m doing good. I’m great.”
Stratton is scheduled to defend her WWE Women’s title against Cargill and Nia Jax in a three-way match on Friday’s SmackDown. It was believed the match was originally to take place at Wrestlepalooza. Bryan Alvarez addressed the situation yesterday on Wrestling Observer Live, saying:
“The three-way scheduled for next week’s SmackDown was supposed to be on this ESPN show.”
“Listen everybody, Tiffany was hurt. I presume she’s going to wrestle on Friday. It was not pulled because they ran out of time. It was pulled because she was not cleared.”
Stratton’s full appearance on Going Ringside is below. Her injury update comes in around the 3-minute mark.
