Tiffany Stratton has been on a role as of late, defeating Lyra Valkyria at WWE NXT Battleground 2023 to capture the vacant NXT Women’s Championship.
Speaking on a recent edition of WWE’s ‘The Bump,’ Stratton opened up on her career so far, including when she knew that wrestling was the right career choice for her.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On when she knew that wrestling was the right career for her: “The first time that I ever got into the ring, I took my first bump and it was basically what I used to do in gymnastics. I used to literally do flips to my back all the time. I ran the ropes the first time, it came super easy to me. I locked up, super easy for me. I would say the first day I was in a ring, I knew I was meant for this.”
On using her gymnast skills for her finisher: “I was a trampoline gymnast my entire life. Air awareness is something that comes very easy for me. I wanted to do something that kind of incorporated my trampoline background. I thought that using the ropes kind of emulated that. I thought what more impressive of a move can you do than a moonsault?”
