Tiffany Stratton Says Her Character Is Really Her Turned Up a Few Notches: ‘I’m a Very Irritable Person’

Tiffany Stratton was interviewed on “Out of Character with Ryan Satin” to talk about her journey to becoming the NXT Women’s Champion, being trained by Greg Gagne, who inspired her, and more. Scroll down to listen to the entire interview.

Tiffany Stratton was asked how much of her real self is in her character:

“I would say a lot of it is kind of just my inner thoughts. It’s just me actually saying it. Honestly, if I’m going to be real, I kind of just take what I think and I like to turn it up a bunch of notches. I’m a very irritable person. It’s not a good trait to have, but I guess it is for the character of Tiffany Stratton.”

On if her goal was to be part of the Olympic team after performing for the 2016 National team as a gymnast:

“Honestly, I got to the age of like 19 years old and I kind of fell out of love with gymnastics. I got to a point where I didn’t like coming to practice every day. It was exhausting mentally and physically and I kind of just fell out of it. When I don’t like something, I will not force myself to do it. I will just totally cut all ties with it. I don’t care. Life is short. I’m not going to do things I don’t want to do.”

“So I quit and then I got into CrossFit right away. I wanted to do something that was still competitive and athletic, and that’s how I got into CrossFit and then later on into bodybuilding. I did CrossFit for just a year and a half, two years, maybe. Then I realized that CrossFit made me super bulky. I did not like that. I got super bulky. I was kind of chubby in all honesty if I look back at my photos. So I got into bodybuilding. That is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to be able to form my muscles to how I wanted them to look. That’s why I got into bodybuilding and I went through a whole prep, a bodybuilding prep and that was life changing. I’m so glad I did that before I came to the WWE, because now I know how to get in shape for a big pay-per-view or just in general Bodybuilding definitely taught me that and the discipline for dieting and stuff is on another level.”

On how she got interested in wrestling:

“I would say I was flipping through the channels. I came across a random Friday Night Smackdown and I saw Charlotte Flair. I saw that she was blonde, she was buff, she could flip, she could talk some crap, and I was like, that is literally everything that I can do.”
