Trish Stratus is undeniably on the Mt. Rushmore of WWE women’s wrestlers, having blazed a trail for future talent during the 2000s that still earns her reverence today. In a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio,” former TNA Champion Bully Ray voiced his belief that WWE Hall of Famer Stratus’s potential can be seen in one of WWE’s rising stars, Tiffany Stratton.
“There is Trish Stratus-esque potential when it comes to Tiffany Stratton,” Bully Ray proclaimed on the show. Despite the competitive nature of the Women’s Money in the Bank match scheduled for this Saturday, Bully believes Stratton will get over with the fans regardless of whether she wins. However, he mentioned another name he feels could make the briefcase more entertaining. “I also think Chelsea [Green] makes that briefcase more entertaining than any woman there.”
Tiffany Stratton has been making waves since her jump to the WWE main roster after WrestleMania 40. Her impressive run as NXT Women’s Champion garnered the attention and admiration of both fans and WWE management. Although she faced a minor setback earlier this summer by accidentally sharing a fan video that was disparaging to Bianca Belair, Stratton has been on a steady path to stardom. Her outsized reaction at WWE Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia earlier this year further solidified her status as a standout performer.
Trish Stratus had initially been scheduled to appear at WrestleMania 40 alongside her longtime rival Lita, but the segment was inexplicably scrapped. Stratus last appeared at WrestleMania 39, where she teamed up with Becky Lynch and Lita to face Damage CTRL’s Bayley, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai, securing a triumphant victory.
Bully Ray’s endorsement of Tiffany Stratton as a potential heir to Trish Stratus’s legacy is significant. Stratus, a seven-time WWE Women’s Champion, paved the way for many of today’s female wrestlers with her charisma, athleticism, and trailblazing matches. Seeing similar potential in Stratton suggests that WWE’s women’s division has another bright star on the rise.
Stratton’s move to the main roster was marked by a seamless transition that showcased her in-ring prowess and magnetic personality. While the Women’s Money in the Bank match is highly anticipated, Bully Ray’s comments have added an extra layer of excitement, especially for fans of Tiffany Stratton.
Chelsea Green, another competitor in the Money in the Bank match, also received praise from Bully Ray for her entertainment value. Green has been a charismatic presence in WWE, known for her dynamic character work and engaging storylines.
As WWE gears up for the Women’s Money in the Bank match, all eyes will be on Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green. Whether Stratton wins the briefcase or not, her trajectory appears to be on an upward climb, with Bully Ray’s endorsement underscoring her potential as a future star in WWE.
