The Buff Barbie Tiffany Stratton is one of the popular stars in WWE. She is looking to win the WWE Women’s Championship at the Backlash Premium Live Event. The former NXT Women’s Champion recently mentioned that she was inspired by Charlotte Flair.

While speaking on the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast , Tiffany Stratton reflected on how her WWE tryout went. She also mentioned that the person that caught her eye, and inspired her was Charlotte Flair.

“So I’m originally from Prior Lake Minnesota, which is like 20 minutes south of Minneapolis. I was originally a gymnast, so I grew up in the gymnastics world. One day, I was flipping through the channels and I saw Charlotte Flair on SmackDown. And I immediately was like, Who is this woman? She’s jacked. She’s blonde. She looks amazing. She’s doing all these cool flips. And immediately I was just drawn to it. So I went to my nearest wrestling school and I signed up for classes. However, my mom actually had a contact who knew Greg Gagne, who is a wrestling legend. He’s been in the business for a long time. And he agreed to train me and get me a tryout with WWE.”

Stratton also mentioned that her dream opponent is also The Queen. She’d also like to wrestle Bianca Belair.

“Obviously, I’m going to have to go with Charlotte Flair. She is the reason why I got into wrestling. She’s my inspiration. I really look up to her. But also Bianca Belair. I think me versus Charlotte versus Bianca would be such a cool matchup. I feel like we all kind of have similar styles in the ring. So I’m really looking forward to those two for sure,” Tiffany Stratton said.
