WWE NXT star Tiffany Stratton recently appeared as a guest on Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Stratton talkde about her daily routine when she first started at the Performance Center:
“The schedule is definitely very hard to get accustomed to. It was nothing like any other. Luckily, I had a little bit of wrestling experience and I was taught how to act, like the basic wrestling rules, so I knew what I was getting myself into. When you’re newer, you have a little bit of a crazier schedule. You’re training, I think like four times a week. It’s only four times because Tuesdays we have TV. Sometimes they would make you come in on Tuesdays and have a training session. Training started at 8:30 AM and we’d go until 1030 or 1130. Let me tell you, bumping that early in the morning sucks. After that, we would go to gym class where we’d lift. After that we would do a promo class or like an acting class, something along those terms and it was every day. When you’re newer, it’s kind of a mandatory thing, like an unwritten rule that you have to go to open ring and you have to keep on working.”
What she feels she needs to improve on:
“I think I have every single component that it takes to become a superstar. I think in the ring, I lack with my selling and my psychology. I think that’s where I need to improve, and quickly.”
If she feels there’s a chance she will be called up to the main roster with the upcoming draft:
“I’m not sure. That’s a good question. I definitely think for my career, I would like to stay in NXT a little longer and hone in on my wrestling skills before getting called up. But if I do get the call up, I’m ready. I will make the most of it. I will rise to the occasion, and yeah, I’ll be ready.”
Why she feels she will win the NXT Women’s Championship at Spring Breakin’:
“I would say that I feel like no matter what I do, I always shine the brightest and I always find a way to shine the brightest. I feel like I have a lot to prove. I feel like when people see me wrestle, like in the spotlight, they can’t take their eyes off me I think those are the vibes that they should give off as a champion, and I definitely feel like I’m one of those people that give off those vibes.”
