WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton Makes Heartbreaking Revelation

WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton confesses to having a hard time at the WWE Performance Center.

Stratton signed with WWE in August 2021 after a notable background in gymnastics, bodybuilding, and weightlifting. She trained under Greg Gagne before debuting in November 2021 on WWE’s developmental brand NXT.

The Buff Barbie quickly made a name for herself with her charismatic presence and impressive in-ring skills, winning the NXT Women’s Championship during her time there. Her breakthrough performance at the 2024 Royal Rumble earned her a promotion to the main roster on SmackDown in early 2024, where her career continued to rise.

Currently, Tiffany Stratton is in the midst of a highly successful title run as the WWE Women’s Champion. She won the championship in January 2025 by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract against then-champion Nia Jax. Since then, she has successfully defended her title against top stars like Charlotte Flair, Trish Stratus, and Jade Cargill, maintaining an unbeaten streak for 2025.

Tiffany Stratton Opens Up About Her Time in WWE Performance Centre

Tiffany Stratton recently joined O’Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson on the latest episode of the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, where she was asked to share her experience at WWE’s Performance Center. The 26-year-old star revealed she felt very only at the center because she was the only girl in her group. But a few weeks later, stars like Nikkita Lions and Maxxine Durpi arrived at the Performance Centre, and they all became friends.

Tiffany: It was lonely. It was very lonely at first because I was the only girl in my signing group. So, for the longest time, I didn’t really have any girlfriends. And then 4 weeks later, thankfully another group came. It was the Vegas group, and Nikita Lions was in it. Maxxine Dupri was in it. Jakara Jackson, and thankfully, they came along and we all became friends, and I wasn’t alone anymore. So, it was very lonely at first, but it got better. (From 8:23 to 8:54)
