Tiffany Stratton could have a full-blown feud with long-time bully, according to WWE veteran (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Teddy Long recently spoke about Tiffany Stratton getting bullied by Candice LeRae on TV. Stratton is the current WWE Women's Champion.

Candice LeRae and Nia Jax were often seen bullying Stratton on the blue brand. All that changed on the three-hour premiere of SmackDown when Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract. She showed up and initially helped Nia against Naomi. The 25-year-old star then decided to cash in her contract after Bianca Belair showed up and planted Jax with a K.O.D.

On this week's episode of The Wrestling Time Machine with Mac Davis, Long suggested that Stratton was likely following instructions from the production team.

"You have to talk to the agents. She's doing what she's told."

The WWE Hall of Famer also stated that creative possibly wanted to drag out the angle to get fans invested. He felt now that Tiffany Stratton has the title, she could stop pandering to LeRae and put an end to her bullying.

"It may come to that. Sometimes they do things like this to draw it out a little bit and try and make Tiffany think she's had enough." [From 5:25 onwards]

Tiffany Stratton has declared "Tiffy Time" in WWE after her huge win this past Friday. It will be interesting to see who lines up for the star's first title defense in the weeks leading up to the Royal Rumble.
