A former WWE star who previously trained Tiffany Stratton has shared his honest thoughts on training the former Women’s Champion.

Tiffany Stratton is often hailed as a WWE Performance Center success story, with Stratton making her pro-wrestling debut in November 2021, and going on to hold the NXT Women’s Championship, Money in the Bank briefcase, and the WWE Women’s Title.

Prior to joining WWE, Stratton trained with Ken Anderson (aka Mr Kennedy, Mr Anderson) for around six months.

Speaking with Shane Douglas, Anderson recalled his time training Stratton, noting that while she wasn’t initially a confident talker, she was always very coachable.

When asked if it was obvious to him that Stratton would be a breakout star, Anderson said:

“Oh yeah. Yes, but she didn’t have the gift of gab, so to speak.

“She was very athletic and very coachable. I could show her something, ‘do it this way,’ and I could correct her one time and she would be like, ‘Oh yeah, I get it,’ and she would do it the right way.”
