Tiffany Stratton has been one of the rising stars in WWE over the past few months. From fighting Becky Lynch in NXT to going toe-to-toe with Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41, The Buff Barbie is achieving big feats in her young career. However, very few know the story of how it all started. She shared the story on a podcast.
While talking on the Gorilla Position podcast, Stratton admitted that her parents, especially her mother, were very supportive. The 25-year-old star revealed that her mother requested wrestling legend Greg Gagne to train her, and he accepted. Gagne was impressed during the first few training sessions and encouraged her to try out for WWE.
Stratton also faced some trouble while traveling for a tryout. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Buff Barbie had to return home. She further added that when she got a second chance at the WWE tryouts, she nailed it—and the rest was history. Stratton was recently involved in a grueling rivalry with the veteran Charlotte Flair leading into WrestleMania 41.
The Queen returned to WWE at the Royal Rumble event, having been out with an ACL injury since December 2023. Flair won the Royal Rumble and chose Stratton as her opponent for the Show of Shows. Their rivalry exceeded everyone’s expectations and delivered both in terms of storyline and in-ring performance. The 25-year-old star defeated the veteran and retained her WWE Women’s Title.
Tiffany Stratton is really optimistic about her boyfriend Ludwig Kaiser’s future in WWE
There’s no secret in the wrestling community that Stratton and Ludwig Kaiser are in a relationship. While the 25-year-old star is enjoying the success of being the Women’s Champion, the Imperium member hasn’t been very active this year. Over the past few weeks, Kaiser has been giving interviews and expressing his displeasure over WWE giving more importance to other stars than to him.
While speaking on the same podcast, Stratton said that success is just knocking on his door. She stated that Kaiser has always been patient and believed that his hard work would eventually pay off. The former NXT Women’s Champion further added that he has every quality needed to become a top WWE star.
Since Gunther was on his own as the World Heavyweight Champion, Kaiser was also hovering around the Intercontinental Title picture. However, he didn’t get a chance to compete for the title at WrestleMania 41. Given that The Undertaker has also praised him, there’s surely a bright future ahead for Kaiser.
