Tiffany Stratton may be playing the fan favorite right now, but she just made it clear her villain side is still very much alive.
While speaking to Maxx Fuller, Stratton was asked whether she prefers being cheered by the crowd or working as the heel. She didn’t dodge it. Tiffany said she enjoys both, but admitted being the bad guy comes more naturally to her.
“You know, I think I like both. I think it comes in waves, you know, where being the good guy, it kind of gets a little stale and I do think naturally I am more of a heel, natural heel. That is how I learned wrestling, fun fact. I learned wrestling as a heel. So like I just feel like that’s my roots.”
That is a pretty big tease from someone who has already proven she can get under fans’ skin. Stratton’s whole WWE rise was built on attitude, confidence, and making people mad while looking like she enjoyed every second of it. Then she gave fans a reason to keep watching SmackDown.
“So maybe one day we’ll go back to that. You’ll have to, you know, keep watching SmackDown to see.”
Stratton also admitted there is less pressure when she gets to be the villain, which says a lot. Being the crowd favorite means carrying a different kind of expectation, but being heel lets her lean into what made her stand out in the first place.
“But yeah, I think I like both. But I will say I do like being heel a little bit a little bit better. It’s a lot less pressure. It’s a lot more fun.”
So Tiffany Stratton isn’t saying a heel turn is happening tomorrow, but she’s definitely leaving that door wide open. She likes being cheered, but her roots are in being hated — and from the sound of it, she wouldn’t mind going back there.
