What did Tiffany Stratton do? Reason why the WWE star faced massive backlash recently

WWE Superstars are not new to controversies, but sometimes, they find themselves in hot water with no fault of their own. Something similar happened with Tiffany Stratton last month, causing her to receive a massive backlash from fans.

Stratton was competing in the Queen of the Ring tournament last month, and at the time of the incident, she was a clear favorite to win the crown. The Buff Barbie defeated Mia Yim on SmackDown to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Before the match, Stratton shared a fan-made video of her hitting Jade Cargill during an eight-woman tag team match booked on the blue brand in the previous weeks. Unfortunately for Tiffany, the audio in the background had a racially motivated remark toward The Storm.

The Buff Barbie posted the video on her Instagram story without listening to the audio that contained a snippet from a rap battle with Shooney Da Rapper and included the phrase "Black b***h" timed to match Stratton hitting Jade with a forearm to the face.

The post instantly drew backlash from fans, and Tiffany Stratton promptly deleted the Instagram story. However, rumors quickly started making rounds that she was the one who recorded the audio.

The story was quickly debunked, with Shooney Da Rapper confirming that the audio had her voice from a rap battle she had done in the past. This cleared the former NXT Women's Champion of false accusations on the internet.

What happened backstage in WWE after Tiffany Stratton's controversy?

The immediate backlash towards Tiffany Stratton raised questions about the backstage reaction in WWE. Early reports suggested that the fastest-rising star in SmackDown's women's division was pulled from the show, but the story was rendered untrue. Instead, reports claimed that she was briefly unadvertised before Friday Night SmackDown, but those rumors were completely fake, and The Buff Barbie was still advertised to appear on the blue brand's show that week.

Later, it was reported that Tiffany Stratton did not face backstage heat for the incident, with many people believing that she was not aware of the audio used in the clip. The 25-year-old star has previously challenged Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship and will look to set her sights on the title again, especially with the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event on the horizon.
