‘It Just Scared Me’ – Tiffany Stratton Recalls Scrapping Original ‘Tiffy Twist’ WWE Finishing Move Out Of Fear Of Injury

WWE

Tiffany Stratton has recalled scrapping her original “Tiffy Twist” WWE finishing move, in favor of the Prettiest Moonsault Ever.

Less than five years since her debut match in WWE on November 16, 2021 edition of 205 Live, Tiffany Stratton has checked off some of the biggest accolades available to WWE stars in their careers.

Currently embarking on a new chapter of her WWE run as Women’s United States Champion, Stratton has achieved much of her success in the company with her Prettiest Moonsault Ever finishing move.

During her appearance on the latest episode of A Shot Of Brandi, Stratton recalled originally using a variation of the Vader Bomb, dubbed the “Tiffy Twist” as her finish, but eventually scrapping it in favor of the PME.

Revealing the decision to scrap the “Tiffy Twist” was built from a fear of injuring herself, Stratton said:

“Originally, when I first got on TV it was a Vader Bomb, but it had a full twist and I called it the Tiffy Twist. So it wasn’t originally my plan to have that (PME) as my finish.

“And then I started landing the Tiffy twist kind of awkwardly on my side, or I wasn’t completing the twist every time and it just scared me cause you’re coming into the ground so fast and you’re twisting at the same time. So, I’m like I’m gonna break my nose on accident.

“So I decided to do the Moonsault and the reason why I do the jumping one is because I was a trampoline gymnast. Jumping off the ropes kind of directly reflects my background I feel like. And it just adds a little bit of pizazz, if you will, with the jumping and I feel like not a lot of people can do that.”

Tiffany Stratton To Add Tag Team Gold To Her WWE Trophy Cabinet?

Despite Tiffany Stratton being firmly focused on defending her WWE Women’s United States Title – doing so as recently as this past Friday’s episode of SmackDown against Lash Legend – there’s a chance we could see Stratton cross over into the women’s tag division for the first time.

Without The Secret Hervice by her side, Chelsea Green has taken a liking to Stratton, however, the relationship very much seems one-sided this point in time.

After Stratton defeated Legend on SmackDown, Nia Jax and her Irresistible Forces teammate laid out Green backstage, and Tiffy was nowhere to be found.

With Green quickly turning into a sympathetic babyface, Stratton may soon find herself feeling guilty enough to lend the former two-time WWE Women’s US Champion a hand, which could then potentially lead to the pair entering the women’s tag team scene.

With The Irresistible Forces once again failing to dethrone Brie Bella and Paige for the gold at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, there could be an opening for a new duo to enter title contention.
