During a recent appearance on the “Stick to Wrestling” podcast, WWE NXT Superstar Tiffany Stratton commented on how her gymnastics background helps her in the ring, her version of the moonsault that she performs, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her version of the moonsault: “My background is trampoline gymnastics. Using the ropes and bouncing up was a good way because I’ve always been able to…I have really good hand-eye coordination and my ring awareness is well. Bouncing on the ropes is super easy to me and I’ve seen so many people do the basic stunning at the top moonsault. Incorporating the bounce with the moonsault was a good way to bring my background into it and make it a little different.”
On how she would like to adjust her moveset: “I thought about doing a springboard 450, I definitely want to add a full twist to my moonsault, or some sort of twist in my moonsault because that was one of my fortes, I could twist really well as a gymnasist. I tumble a lot, handspring back elbows, I do a lot of that. I definitely want to incorporate more top rope stuff. I like the swanton, I love that move.”
