WWE and UFC merger is without any doubt the most talked-about thing in the pro wrestling industry, and even beyond, now. But in the midst of all the discussions about the Stamford-based promotion’s immediate future, a major title change took place at NXT’s September 12 episode.
On the recent episode of the yellow brand, Becky Lynch challenged Tiffany Stratton for her Women’s Championship, and eventually dethroned her from her title. With this win, The Man entered her first ever reign with NXT’s Women’s title, and became a Grand Slam Champion.

As Becky achieved a major milestone with this victory, she’s been praised heavily. But, despite her title loss to Lynch, Tiffany has won hearts of the WWE universe. The 24-year-old has been receiving appreciation for her exceptional performance against Big Time Becks.
Hailing Stratton for the amazing performance she gave against, a pro wrestling fan commented, “Much props to Tiffany a star making performance tonight.” “Man Tiffany is so skilled i hope HHH pushes her when she called up,” an audience member wrote while requesting Triple H to push her on the main roster whenever she makes the shift.

It must be noted that before dropping her title to the 36-year-old female star, Stratton had a great reign with the women’s title. The young performer won the title on May 28, 2023, and her loss to Becky Lynch, ended her run at 107 days. It remains to be seen when she’ll receive the opportunity to regain the NXT Women’s Championship in a rematch.
WWE veteran believes Tiffany Stratton will become one of the all-time greats
Following her brilliant performance against Becky, Tiffany has been applauded by the fans, and even a WWE veteran recently shared his belief in the 24-year-old star’s abilities. The veteran was none other than Hall of Famer Booker T, as he has predicted that Stratton will become one of the all-time greats in the female division.
This happened on a recent episode of his podcast “Hall of Fame,” as the 6-time World Champion shared his opinions about the future of the young sensation. He said, “She looks good, she checks off all the boxes as far as what you’re looking for in a star. I mean, she really does.”
Alongside this, the WWE legend claimed that she needs to overcome certain obstacles, and then she can achieve everything. “I think she has all the talent in the world. If she can just keep her head on straight, she’s going to be one of the greats. I really believe that,” the HOF added. (Via: EWRESTLINGNEWS)
Looking at how the 58-year-old legend shared a strong statement in support of the NXT performer, it seems that he’s pretty confident about her capabilities. It remains to be seen how well Tiffany will fare in the future and if she’ll be able to enjoy the kind of success Booker T has predicted she will achieve in her WWE career.
