Summary
– Tiffany Stratton said missing WrestleMania 42 gave her a chip on her shoulder
– She plans to do everything possible to make sure it never happens again
– Stratton believes the setback could lead to bigger opportunities at SummerSlam and WrestleMania next year
Tiffany Stratton is turning disappointment into motivation after missing WrestleMania 42 and says she has no plans to let it happen again.
The 26-year-old did not compete at WrestleMania this year, but she quickly bounced back by defeating Giulia on the April 24 episode of SmackDown to capture the WWE Women’s United States Championship.
During a recent interview with Joey Karni, Stratton explained that her mindset has always been to focus on what she can control rather than worry about things beyond her control.
She said that means making the most of every segment, delivering strong matches, and making sure she performs at the highest level every time she appears on screen.
While she admitted WrestleMania 42 was not in the cards for her this year, she made it clear the experience left her with extra motivation moving forward.
Stratton said missing the show gave her a chip on her shoulder and pushed her to make sure she never finds herself left off the WrestleMania card again.
She added that she plans to do everything in her power to make sure she is part of the biggest event of the year in the future.
Later in the interview, Stratton explained that she believes everything happens for a reason and feels missing WrestleMania this year is setting her up for something even bigger.
She pointed to SummerSlam, which takes place this year in her home state of Minnesota, as a possible major moment where she could challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship.
She also mentioned the possibility of main-eventing WrestleMania next year, showing just how high her goals remain despite the recent setback.
Winning the Women’s United States Championship added another major accomplishment to her career, marking her third singles title reign in WWE.
Stratton is also a former NXT Women’s Champion, former WWE Women’s Champion, and the 2024 Women’s Money in the Bank winner.
With gold around her waist again and bigger goals ahead, she is clearly using the WrestleMania disappointment as fuel for the next chapter of her career.
