Pay attention, I run on Tiffy Time simply as a lot as the following lady does, however I am unable to justify her showing throughout a backstage phase on Deadline 2024.
In between matches on Saturday’s Deadline occasion, Tiffany Stratton got here to the again to speak to Ava Raine. Stratton reminded that, as Miss Cash within the Financial institution, she is just not restricted to anyone present (which, actually, could be the case for all Superstars quickly), earlier than teasing a cash-in on the…”NXT” Ladies’s Championship? You imply the “NXT” Ladies’s Championship she’s already held as soon as earlier than? She has the chance use her Cash within the Financial institution contract to money in on any girls’s title that she needs, no questions requested, and she or he is utilizing it for a championship on a developmental present that she’s already held? Make it make sense.
Okay, earlier than the keyboard warriors go to the feedback, I do wish to make clear some issues. Sure, I do know that Stratton was there partially for the hometown lady pop. She made that very clear when she advised Raine, to her face, that she was from Minnesota, so I am not that boring. Sure, I can think about that Stratton’s backstage promo was executed with a purpose to tease an look on the upcoming January 7 episode of “NXT: New Years’ Evil.” It is smart; Stratton is likely one of the most beloved younger expertise within the firm, so whenever you mix the promise of a house state pop with the tease of an look on a future episode of “NXT,” there’s not a great purpose for not placing her on the present.
It makes good enterprise sense. I nonetheless do not prefer it. Cannot take that away from me.
Granted, that is extra of a robust dislike than a full blown Hate — a pet peeve versus a significant ire, for example. I simply assume that Stratton is doing loads on her facet of the principle roster, and teasing an “NXT” look for rankings whereas pandering to Minnesotans for a hometown pop is beneath her. She simply superior to the semifinals of the Ladies’s United States Championship event (the place she bought her hometown pop, thoughts you). She is embroiled in a storyline that always beckons viewers to marvel simply when she is going to betray Nia Jax. Stratton is booked and busy, and whereas I assist her working extra time to gather a test, I do assume that she is doing a bit an excessive amount of for not a whole lot of return. This has nothing to do together with her ongoing storylines.
I implore WWE to promote “New Years’ Evil” in a extra substantial approach, particularly with the wonderful “NXT” girls’s division they’ve. No person is working to purchase tickets to “New Years’ Evil” as a result of Stratton may present up. Have a Battle Royale, slap a stipulation on the “NXT” Ladies’s Championship match, have one other grudge match! WWE has so many succesful girls at their disposal, so it feels bizarre to have Stratton tease an look on a model she has nothing to do with.
