Tiffany Stratton will be getting her rematch against NXT Women’s Champion Becky Lynch at NXT No Merch on Saturday, September 30. Stratton spoke with Steve Fall in an exclusive interview for WrestlingNews.co.
On who she would like to face on Raw or SmackDown:
“Yeah, I’ve definitely said this before, but I’ll say it again. Charlotte Flair, honestly she’s part of the reason why I got into wrestling. She was the first women’s wrestler that I saw on my TV screen and when I saw her I was immediately just taken back of someone who was so beautiful, was so strong and can do all the flips and the gymnastics and I thought it was so cool. So I think Charlotte Flair is definitely a huge dream match for me.”
More on Charlotte Flair:
“I definitely think Charlotte flair is you know that girl that everyone looks at and is immediately like wow, I want to be that one day or I want to be there where she is and be able to wrestle like her or just be able to hold their own like her.”
Stratton was asked about her Mt. Rushmore: “I believe the Four Horsewomen would be the Mount Rushmore of women’s wrestling for sure.”
On people who say she was buried by Becky Lynch:
“No, not even in the slightest. I feel like even being in the same ring with Becky Lynch just immediately makes my stock go up. I definitely feel like Becky brought out the best in me in that match. And even though I lost the title, I feel like I did not come out with a loss. Like I feel like I gained so much from that one match, even though I lost.”
Stratton added, “She’s always trying to help out the younger talent. She wants the best for everybody there. And you can definitely tell that for sure.”
