WWE Legend Teases Match Against Tiffany Stratton

WWE

A WWE legend has teased a potential match against rising NXT star, Tiffany Stratton, noting the similarities between them.

In an appearance on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, Stratus was asked about Stratton and said:

“I see the same sort of things, and she said this, ‘I have to prove myself because people expect a certain something out of people who look this way.’

“That’s just the way it is. I wouldn’t say Tiffany and I are the Girl Next Door, more bombshell. There is a lot of pre-judgment and pre-conceived notions about what that person or personality can deliver.

“For me, I thrived on knocking down those preconceived notions, that’s what drove me. ‘You think I can do this, I’m going to do this.’ I knew I had to prove myself.

“Even to the boys, when I first came in, I had to prove myself to the boys. I know that Tiffany has had a similar journey, just because of the way she looks and her lack of background, just like I had, I didn’t come from a traditional background or upbringing.

“We are both in that same predicament. Having those chances and taking those opportunities, like she did with her Extreme Rules match, taking those opportunities and seizing them.

‘This will solidify and shut those people up.’ I love what she’s doing. I’ve tackled the ten-year generational gap. Trishy Time, Tiffy Time.”

Stratus went on to be asked if she would be interested in a match against Stratton, to which Trish said:

“We’ll see. I’m available at certain times [laughs]. This is always my thing, every time I’ve been back, it’s about will I have fun? Will it be entertaining for the fans? Is it different for the fans? Will I do something that will help the business?

Those are the boxes I need to check. Who knows. I always leave everything open. The last box is, will I be able to perform at my optimal level? If I’m shittier than I was before, I’m not coming,” she said.

Elsewhere in the chat, Trish was asked how her body felt after her recent brutal steel cage match against Becky Lynch at Payback 2023.
