Booker T is making a bold prediction, urging WWE to bet on a rising star from SmackDown by putting a title around her waist. The name in contention is Tiffany Stratton, whose presence has quickly become significant in the women’s division of SmackDown.
Stratton’s journey on the main roster has been nothing short of impressive, securing victories against formidable opponents like Liv Morgan, Naomi, and Mia Yim. As the WWE Draft looms, potentially reshuffling the entire roster, Stratton’s trajectory seems poised for ascension, regardless of which brand she calls home.
Among the chorus of voices singing praises for Stratton is Booker T, who offered effusive praise during the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast. Having closely observed The Buff Barbie’s development during her time in NXT, where he serves as a commentator, the former World Heavyweight Champion believes it’s the opportune moment for WWE to thrust the 24-year-old into the championship spotlight.
Booker T’s confidence in Tiffany Stratton’s potential as a champion is unwavering, expressing conviction that WWE wouldn’t rue the decision to boost her to such a prominent position early in her main roster tenure.
“That person is ‘WWE SmackDown’ star Tiffany Stratton. I’m going to tell you right now, if Tiffany won the championship, she would be the fastest rising champion in the history of the business, I really do. The thing is, I think she’s ready for it. I really do, I think you can pull the trigger with Tiffany Stratton right now and you will not regret it, I really believe that,” Booker T emphasized. [H/T WrestlingINC]
Tiffany Stratton Sets Her Sights on Championship Gold
Following her stint as the NXT Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton is no stranger to carrying the weight of being a brand’s centerpiece.
On a recent episode of SmackDown, Stratton disrupted the WWE Women’s Championship match between Bayley and Naomi, resulting in a disqualification. Subsequently, she vocalized her aspirations of aiming for the title, asserting her belief that she deserved a shot at dethroning Bayley.
In her own words:
“You know what, Byron? I have my sights set on the Women’s Championship. And last week when Naomi beat me, it was a fluke. She didn’t deserve to be in that match and that’s why I did what I did. I did have a Tiffany epiphany. Who better than the Center of the Universe herself to win the Women’s Championship? I just love the sound of that, Toodles!”
The future holds uncertainties for The Buff Barbie, but her determination to vie for the WWE Women’s Championship remains steadfast. Will she secure a coveted title opportunity in the weeks to come? Only time will reveal the next chapter in Tiffany Stratton’s journey.
