The latest WWE PLE has come and gone , and despite her loss in the Elimination Chamber, Tiffany Stratton has arrived.
Her performance was perhaps the best of the entire event, out of every match.
Once she was taken out of the match, fans voiced their displeasure in her elimination.
She won over fans with her effort, and in doing so, she proved that she was here and she belonged.
That may seem like a lot of hyperbole, but I assure you that it is not.
Stratton got the role we have seen other young and promising talents in over the years.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: rising talent steps into a multi-Superstar match. He or she takes a lot of the big bumps, delivers some as well.
They look superb in the process, but ultimately come up short.
While perhaps not as young, Ricochet and others in say, the Money In The Bank ladder match come to mind.
We can add Tiffany Stratton in the Elimination Chamber in 2024 to that list.
Despite Loss In Elimination Chamber, Tiffany Stratton Has Arrived
Anyone who has followed Stratton since her time in NXT knew she was probably going to be special.
She has so many intangibles.
For one, she looks the part. Perhaps a touch like Charlotte Flair, but…even more polished for her age?
And she does not lack for confidence. She readily announces that it is Tiffy Time, and she delivers.
Based on how she showed out in Perth, it would not have bothered most if Stratton had actually won.
It is not her time for that spot just yet…but seeing how she looked in there with some top notch veterans?
She probably won’t be waiting too long for her time to shine.
And let’s be honest. Her rise has been nothing short of meteoric.
Spending a short few years in NXT, she enjoyed one NXT title reign, including a feud with Becky Lynch.
If that brief program didn’t let you know that Tiffy Time was coming, I don’t know what to tell you.
After that early warning, it was truly just a matter of time.
And while that time did not arrive on February 24th, 2024…it got a lot closer.
Stratton’s rise sometimes gets obscured because WWE has another relative newcomer on the roster that has garnered a lot of attention.
While Jade Cargill has shown she belongs, Stratton has as well.
While the current top women’s Superstars aren’t likely going anywhere anytime soon, the new faces show that the division should remain in good hands.
And as names like Flair miss significant time due to injury, women like Tiffany Stratton prove they are ready, willing and able to make the most of things.
She didn’t win Elimination Chamber…this time. But Tiffany Stratton showed she belonged, and anyone who doubted her abilities before Perth?
They can’t be doubters anymore.
