Tiffany Stratton Addresses Missing Out On WWE WrestleMania 42 Card: ‘I’m Going To Do Everything In My Power To Never Let That Happen Again’ WWE

Tiffany Stratton says she’s going to do “everything in her power” to ensure she never misses WWE WrestleMania again after sitting out on this year’s event.

One year on from successfully defending the WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41, Tiffany Stratton did not find a spot on the card for WrestleMania 42.

While there had been rumors that a WWE Women’s United States Title three-way between herself, Giulia and Jordynne Grace was in the works for Las Vegas event, Stratton instead defeated Giulia for the title on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 42 this past Friday (April 24).

Appearing on Unseen with Joey Karni, Stratton addressed her WrestleMania 42 omission, saying it’s left a “chip on her shoulder” heading into next year:

“I feel like my mindset has always been controlling what I can control which is making the most out of all my segments, making the most out of my matches, making sure I’m delivering on everything and having really good matches with everybody.

“Unfortunately being on WrestleMania wasn’t on the cards for me this year. However, that just kind of leaves me with a chip on my shoulder for next year and I’m going to do everything in my power to never let that happen ever again.”

Tiffany Stratton Believes WrestleMania 42 Absence Could Lead To “Something Bigger” In The Future

While it did feel strange not seeing Stratton compete at WrestleMania 42, this is largely because fans have become accustomed to seeing the 26-year-old succeed in WWE in her short time in the company.

Since first debuting in NXT in late 2021, Stratton has held the NXT Women’s Title, Money in the Bank and WWE Women’s Championship – the latter of which was a 302 day reign – and now the Women’s US Championship.

Stratton said she feels “blessed” to have achieved so much in wrestling at a young age and trusts the timing of everything that’s happened in her journey thus far, as well as going forward:

“Honestly, I’m only 26 years old. I have so much time left in this business to have all of those accolades like you said at such a young age. I feel just so blessed.

“I feel like I got into this business at the perfect time. I was the perfect age and the cards have always just kind of fell into place for me. I’ve always worked hard, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve just had very good timing with everything and I fully believe everything happens for a reason.

“Me not being on this year’s Mania is setting me up for something bigger. Whether that’s SummerSlam in Minnesota this year and fighting for the WWE Women’s Championship, or main eventing next year’s WrestleMania. I fully believe everything happens for a reason.”
