Mandy Rose isn’t thrilled with Tiffany Stratton borrowing her signature phrase, and she made sure to let everyone know.

After Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on January 3 to win the WWE Women’s Championship, she took to SmackDown a week later to demand that everyone “put some respect” on her name. That line didn’t sit well with Rose, who made it clear she doesn’t want to hear it again.

On her Power Alphas Podcast, Rose reacted to the situation after fans flooded her with messages about Stratton’s promo. “To be honest, I wasn’t even watching it. I got so many tweets about it and I was like, ‘What is going on?’ and I saw the clip and this b***h even used the same kinda tone,” she said.

She continued, “I was like, hold on a second, I thought we were cool. I put her over here. Listen, we can admire each other, we can respect, we can look up to, but we can’t take our words from each other.”

The history between the two goes back to their NXT days when Rose was reigning as NXT Women’s Champion while Stratton was still finding her footing in the brand. While Rose acknowledged that admiration is one thing, she made it clear she isn’t looking to share her signature lines.

Stratton hasn’t responded, but this exchange has fans talking about whether the SmackDown star was intentionally referencing Rose or if it was just a coincidence. Either way, Rose doesn’t want to hear it again.
