Mandy Rose called out Tiffany Stratton last month on her Power Alphas podcast after noticing Stratton had cut a promo on the January 10th episode of SmackDown, where she told everyone to “put some respect” on her name, a line Rose used to say.
Rose told Stratton not to use her word. She later put her over for the work she has been doing lately. While speaking with Ring The Bell, Stratton responded to what Rose said about her. Stratton said, “Honestly, I think it’s a little sad that she felt the need to go on her podcast and say something like that. I wish her the best, honestly.”
On this week’s podcast, Rose addressed the backlash to what she said. “Damn, Twitter is so funny. From our last episode about Tiffany Stratton, these haters… Did you see…? Let’s be clear: I never bashed Tiffany Stratton. In fact, I praised her in a previous episode, saying she’s an amazing talent and definitely going places. Look at her—she’s already a champion, and she’s only been on the main roster for probably less than two years. I’ve always commended and highly complimented her. People were going nuts, saying, ‘Oh my God, you’re just jealous! You’re this, you’re that. She’s done more.’ I’m like, ‘Guys, calm down!’….I just posted a video on there just talking about how you know y’all got to calm down and not take everything so seriously, like so literally. It was a little extreme, but Kudos to Tiffany Stratton, okay, because I think she’s an incredible talent, and there’s no hate, trust me.”
