WWE Star Tiffany Stratton Annoyed By AEW Comparison

WWE star Tiffany Stratton

Tiffany Stratton has admitted that being compared to an AEW star is “annoying.”

Tiffany Stratton is one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE. Making her main roster debut at the 2024 Royal Rumble, Stratton entered at number 29 and successfully eliminated Roxanne Perez before being eliminated by Bayley.

Only weeks later, Stratton moved up permanently when she was signed to SmackDown. Since then, the star has been part of the Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia, and keeps getting closer to securing a Women’s Title shot. Most recently, Stratton took on Naomi in a Number 1 Contender’s match, only for the bout to be thrown out due to interference from Nia Jax.

Since gaining more attention for her work on the blue brand, fans have been comparing Stratton to other stars, including AEW’s Mariah May. During a recent appearance on ComicBook Nation, Stratton admitted she found the comparisons annoying, although she believes May is “amazing.”

“Obviously, it’s annoying. Just because we have the same coloured hair it does not mean that we look alike or we stealing each other’s gimmicks or styles.

“I get compared to so many other people, Trish Stratus, Charlotte Flair. Honestly, I think everyone is on their own path, and I think Mariah May is amazing. She’s such a great wrestler, she’s gorgeous.

“But yeah, it can be annoying for sure, but I feel like wrestling fans are going to be wrestling fans and [they think] everyone is always a copy of this person or this person is imitating this person. So it’s nothing new, to be honest.”

Former WWE Star Accused Tiffany Stratton Of Being A “Knock-Off Barbie”

Recently, former WWE star Dana Brooke blasted Tiffany Stratton for “stealing everyone’s moves.” The attack came after Natlaya praised Brooke – now known as ‘Ash By Elegance’ in TNA – for her Swanton Bomb. A fan claimed Stratton’s version was better, leading Ash to claim Stratton not only steals moves, but gimmicks too, before calling her a “knock off Barbie.”
