Tiffany Stratton comments after backstage confrontation with WWE legend at Money in the Bank
Tiffany Stratton won the women's Money in the Bank ladder match on Saturday night in Toronto, Canada. Stratton then confronted WWE legend Trish Stratus backstage following her win.
The Buff Barbie outlasted IYO SKY, Zoey Stark, Chelsea Green, Naomi and Lyra Valkryia to become Tiffy in the Bank. She now has an opportunity to challenge for the women's championship of her choosing anytime and anywhere within year.
Following her win, Stratton confronted MITB host and WWE Hall of Famer Trish backstage. The two exchanged some trash talk before Stratton walked away, leading to an interview with Cathy Kelley.
"Clearly, Trishy never wished me congratulations and you know what? Neither did you," Stratton said. On being asked about her plans for the briefcase, The Buff Barbie answered, "What? Do you think I'm stupid? I'm not gonna tell you that. Ugh."
Kelly then followed it up by asking Stratton about her plans for the briefcase and if she would "Tiffanize" it.
"I sure am. I might turn it pink. I might rhinestone it. I might add an extra strap, carry it around like a purse. You have to wait and see. Right now, toodles," the 25-year-old star said.
With her win at Money in the Bank, Stratton solidified herself as one of the best prospects in WWE today. She now has an opportunity to win her first women's championship at such a young age.
Tiffany Stratton not backing down from possible Trish Stratus match
WWE teased a potential matchup between Tiffany Stratton and Trish Stratus backstage at Money in the Bank. Stratton is open to facing the Hall of Famer and called her one of her idols in the post-show press conference.
"Listen, those are two completely different generations. Trish, Trishy, Trishy Time, she is one of my idols in professional wrestling, and I am ready to get in the ring with the GOAT," Stratton said. [33:14 - 33:31]
Trish Stratus is still under contract with WWE and has not wrestled since losing to Becky Lynch inside a steel cage at Payback last year. Stratus has some unfinished business with Zoey Stark, but it seems like that could wait in favor of Ms. Tiffy in the Bank.
