The WWE Universe is abuzz with controversy surrounding Tiffany Stratton, a rising star in the women’s division, after she shared a fan-made video on Instagram Stories that sparked outrage among fans and colleagues alike. The video, which has since been deleted, featured a racially-motivated remark aimed at fellow wrestler Jade Cargill, accompanied by an audio clip from a rap battle featuring Shooney Da Rapper.
The incident has sparked a heated debate, with many fans calling for Stratton to face consequences for her actions. However, according to sources close to the situation, Stratton has avoided internal heat, and WWE officials remain high on the 25-year-old, expecting her push to continue uninterrupted.
An investigation into the incident has revealed that Stratton likely shared the post without listening to the audio, which has led many to believe that she will not face any internal consequences. The WWE has dismissed rumors of Stratton being pulled from tonight’s SmackDown match against Bianca Belair, with officials reaffirming their support for The Buff Barbie.
In a surprising twist, Shooney Da Rapper, the original artist behind the audio clip, stepped forward to confirm that the voice in the audio was hers, quashing rumors that Stratton had recorded the audio herself. The rapper took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the situation, saying she was “caught up in the drama” and expressing gratitude for the unexpected exposure.
As the controversy dies down, all eyes will be on Stratton as she prepares to face Bianca Belair in the quarterfinals of the Queen of the Ring tournament on tonight’s SmackDown. The match promises to be an intense battle, with Cargill potentially ringside as the Women’s Tag Team Champion.
Despite the backlash, Stratton remains a favorite to win the Queen of the Ring Tournament, and her popularity among fans and WWE officials alike suggests that she will bounce back from this controversy unscathed. For now, the WWE Universe will be watching closely to see how Stratton responds to this setback and whether she can regain the momentum she had built leading up to this point.
