Tiffany Stratton Reveals Challenges in Adapting to WWE Main Roster

Tiffany Stratton has been making waves in WWE, and her Money in the Bank victory suggests that she’s on the fast track to a major title run. However, in an interview with “Busted Open Radio,” Stratton opened up about the difficulties she faced when transitioning from WWE NXT to the main roster.

Stratton shared how nervous she was initially upon her call-up, as she was used to performing in front of a familiar audience of 5,200 people at NXT. Facing larger, more diverse crowds and working with new talent added an extra layer of pressure.

“Immediately when I got called up, I was so nervous. I didn’t know any of the girls in the locker room. I was never in front of big audiences. I was always in front of the same 5200 people at NXT. So, definitely, the bigger audiences, the different states, the different crowds every week, it definitely kind of threw me off for a second.”

Despite the early jitters, Stratton quickly adapted and gained more confidence. As she continued to learn on the job, she revealed that she no longer second-guesses herself.

“I had to be like, ‘Okay. You have to adjust to this. It’s more pressure.’ But as I go, I’ve been getting so much more comfortable. My confidence is there now. I don’t second guess myself anymore. I just go out and be Tiffany Stratton.”

Her presence was felt at WWE Bad Blood, where Stratton attempted to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Nia Jax, the reigning WWE Women’s Champion, but Jax woke up in time to prevent the cash-in.
