Tiffany Stratton’s heel turn already came with a WWE Women’s Championship, and WWE apparently isn’t looking at this as some quick experiment. If the current internal belief holds up, Tiffy could be carrying that title for quite a while.
While speaking during a Self Made Session, Self Made Pro revealed that there’s currently a belief within WWE that Stratton will remain champion through WrestleMania 43.
“And, here we are. Stratton has turned heel and she’s won the championship. The belief right now is that Tiffany’s going to hold this to Mania. That’s just a belief within the promotion as of right now.”
Nothing is set in stone this far out, especially since Self Made Pro specifically described it as a “belief” within WWE rather than a finalized creative plan. Still, it gives a pretty good indication of how the company currently views Stratton’s new title run.
Self Made Pro also pointed out that Stratton becoming a heel champion wasn’t something WWE suddenly came up with at Crown Jewel. He said he had previously been told that WWE chose Stratton over Roxanne for Money in the Bank specifically because the company wanted to turn Tiffy heel.
“Like I said on the Sessions after Money in the Bank, I was told by people in WWE the reason why they went with Tiffany Stratton as Money in the Bank instead of Roxan was that they wanted to turn Tiffany Stratton heel.”
WWE certainly didn’t waste any time committing to the change. Stratton betrayed Green at Crown Jewel immediately after Green defeated Liv Morgan, cashed in on her exhausted friend and hit the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to become champion.
Now it sounds like WWE could be giving heel Tiffy plenty of time to sink or swim. If the current internal belief becomes reality, Stratton won’t just get a short run to test out her current character — she’ll head into WrestleMania with the WWE Women’s Championship still around her waist.
Who would you want to see challenge Tiffany Stratton if she carries the WWE Women’s Championship all the way to WrestleMania? Let us know what you think in the comments.
