Popular WWE Superstar comments on Ludwig Kaiser's recent success
SmackDown superstar, Tiffany Stratton recently commented on Ludwig Kaiser finding success as a singles star.
Tiffany Stratton and Ludwig Kaiser are real-life partners. The 25-year-old won the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match last month and can cash in for a title match at a time of her choosing. She teased cashing in during the WWE Women's Championship match between Bayley and Nia Jax at SummerSlam. However, she did not get the opportunity to do so and celebrated with Nia Jax after the veteran captured the gold on Saturday night.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling earlier this year, Stratton disclosed that she was happy for Kaiser. She added that the 34-year-old had always been in a tag team, and she was grateful he was finally getting the chance to perform as a singles star.
"I am so happy for him, honestly. It's been a long time coming. I feel like he's always kind of been in a tag team and I'm so grateful that he's branching off and really coming into his own," she said. [0:48 – 1:03]
