NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton doesn’t think veteran stars are needed in NXT.
In recent months, Dana Brooke, Rhea Ripley, and Natalya have competed on NXT. In doing so, they mixed it up with the young talent on the brand.
Speaking with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Stratton was asked to share her thoughts on veterans coming to NXT and contributing to the women’s division. She stated that she doesn’t think it’s needed.
“I definitely feel like it’s not needed,” Stratton said. “I feel like NXT should just be for the girls in NXT and the NXT division. But it does help a lot to have someone like Rhea Ripley come down, Dana Brooke, Nattie Neidhart to help the NXT girls and guide them through things and help establish them better. I do think it’s a big help though.”
Brooke will face Cora Jade on the July 25 episode of WWE NXT.
Tiffany Stratton On NXT Women’s Division
In the same interview, Tiffanny Stratton shared her thoughts on NXT’s women’s division. She stated that the division has a spotlight for the women that somewhat surpasses the main roster.
“I think we have a really good women’s division at NXT. I think it’s one of the better ones compared to Raw and SmackDown,” she said. “At NXT I feel we have such a spotlight for the women. I definitely feel on Raw and SmackDown it’s not as much of the spotlight for the women. We have a lot of young talent.
“Thea Hail, for instance, is only 19 years old. Roxanne Perez, who is basically 21. Cora Jade, 22. I definitely think there is a lot of future within the NXT women’s division. I can definitely see a lot of the girls taking over within the next three or four years on Raw and SmackDown.”
Stratton will defend the title against Thea Hail at NXT Great American Bash.
