Tiffany Stratton opens up about feeling "more pressure" upon WWE main roster move in 2024

Tiffany Stratton is one of the highlights of 2024. The 25-year-old WWE Superstar has carved out a place for herself on SmackDown, in a short span of time, after making her debut in February, earlier this year.

Stratton's performance in Perth, Australia, inside the Women's Elimination Chamber Match garnered her significant praise. The Australian crowd was so into the newcomer that they began chanting "It's Tiffy Time," her catchphrase, despite several other top stars' presence.

Speaking to David LaGreca on Busted Open, Tiffany Stratton discussed transitioning from smaller crowds in NXT to WWE's main roster. She admitted it was terrifying at first and that she had to make adjustments, but evidently, things got better. By July she became Ms. Money in the Bank.

"Immediately when I got called up, I was so nervous. I didn't know any of the girls in the locker room. I was never in front of big audiences. I was always in front of the same 5200 people at NXT. So, definitely, the bigger audiences, the different states, the different crowds every week, it definitely kind of threw me off for a second," she said.

Although she initially found the jump to the main roster a bit overwhelming, she has only gone from strength to strength. She now performs confidently in front of massive audiences every week.

"I wouldn't say threw me off, but it was definitely something I had to like, 'Okay. You have to adjust to this. It's more pressure.' But as I go, I've been getting so much more comfortable. My confidence is there now. I don't second guess myself anymore. I just go out and be Tiffany Stratton," she added. [From 4:45 to 5:25]

This past Friday, The Irresistible Force caught Stratton contemplating a cash-in, leading to the Women's Champion walking out on her. The crowd was audibly chanting, "Cash it in," proving that the angle has worked well with the WWE Universe.
