Tiffany Stratton recently spoke about WWE star Charlotte Flair's influence on her career
Charlotte Flair is one of the pioneers of women's professional wrestling. She is a multi-time Women's Champion and has inspired many across the business, including Tiffany Stratton.
Stratton recently spoke about Flair during her interview on the Out of Character podcast with Ryan Satin. The NXT Women's Champion stated that she noticed The Queen during an episode of SmackDown and was immediately hooked.
Stratton further mentioned how she drew similarities from Flair. She said:
"I would say I was flipping through the channels. I came across a random Friday Night SmackDown, and I saw Charlotte Flair. I saw that she was blonde, she was buff, she could flip, she could talk some crap, and I was like, that is literally everything that I can do."
At NXT Battleground, Stratton won the WWE NXT Women's Championship after beating Lyra Valkyria. She successfully defended her title at NXT Gold Rush against Thea Hail, beating her via pinfall. At the recently concluded NXT Great American Bash show, Stratton defeated Hail in the rematch, this time via submission.
It remains to be seen who Stratton's next opponent is going to be and if WWE plans on punishing Nikkita Lyons as a contender once she returns.
