Former WWE star Mr Kennedy has commented on training current WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.

Stratton is often touted as a WWE Performance Center success story, with the former gymnast making her pro-wrestling debut with the company in November 2021.

Speaking on Cafe de Rene with Rene Dupree, Ken Anderson – who wrestled for WWE as Mr Kennedy – recalled his experiences helping to trail Stratton.

Believing Tiffany Stratton could be the next Charlotte Flair or Mickie James, Anderson said:

“She got the athleticism immediately. You bump a certain way, you get up a certain way – the first time she got up the wrong way and I was like, ‘Ah…’, and the next time she did it perfectly and I never had to tell her again. She would get stuff like that.

“But no personality. She was focused on the physicality part. So I’ve got her first promo that she ever did, and it was rough. But to see her coming out of her shell…

“My wife and I, maybe we’re biased, but I feel like what we’ve seen, that she’s got a really bright future, like she could be a Charlotte Flair or a Mickie James, one of those mainstays.

“It is (a good feeling to see someone he trained doing well), but at the same time – I know we’re supposed to show bravado – but she would have made it if it was somebody else training her.”
