Tiffany Stratton Reveals Risky WWE Move She Was Forced to Change
Tiffany Stratton shared that when she first started her wrestling career, she was planning to adopt a version of the Vader Bomb called the “Tiffy Twist” as her finishing maneuver.
However, the move was too risky and posed a threat of serious nose injuries, so she eventually replaced it with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever. She also revealed that she adds a jump before executing PME as a tribute to her gymnastic background.
“Originally, when I first got on TV it was a Vader Bomb, but it had a full twist and I called it the Tiffy Twist. So it wasn’t originally my plan to have that (PME) as my finish.
“And then I started landing the Tiffy twist kind of awkwardly on my side, or I wasn’t completing the twist every time and it just scared me cause you’re coming into the ground so fast and you’re twisting at the same time. So, I’m like I’m gonna break my nose on accident.
“So I decided to do the Moonsault and the reason why I do the jumping one is because I was a trampoline gymnast. Jumping off the ropes kind of directly reflects my background I feel like. And it just adds a little bit of pizazz, if you will, with the jumping and I feel like not a lot of people can do that.”
