Tiffany Stratton Names Her Top Three Favorite Women In WWE NXT

The former WWE Women’s Champion would love to see these three women shine the brightest with their future in the WWE.

Before she blossomed into the star she is today, Tiffany Stratton also got her start in WWE NXT where she learned from the very best, feuded with legends like Becky Lynch, and was brought up to the main roster once the higher ups knew she was ready for what it takes to be a face of the franchise.

In a new interview that Stratton did with Adrian Hernandez, Stratton was asked about the big stars that are becoming a name down at NXT and which three would she like to lock horns with in the future if she was given the opportunity.

“That’s a good question. I feel like every single girl in NXT is really freaking good. I think you can call up anybody and I’ll have a good match with them. I would love to have a match with Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and Kelani Jordan. I think those are my top three in NXT right now.”

Stratton also spoke in the interview about her feud with the legendary Trish Stratus and how she would lock to have another round with the monarch of Canada if the two were given the chance to run it back against each other.

You can watch the entire interview with Tiffany Stratton on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez below.

Widow Of Bad News Brown Shares Speech She Would’ve Given At WWE Hall of Fame

This past weekend, the WWE inducted the late Bad News Brown into their Legacy Wing for the Hall of Fame.

In a post made on the social media of the widow of the late Bad News Brown, Helen Coage spoke about the fans reaction to a speech not being made due to the Legacy Wing reasonings that WWE has made over the last couple of decades. However, that didn’t stop Coage from thanking the fans and allowing them to read what would have been her speech if she was able to give one at the WWE Hall of Fame.

“I know many of you are unhappy about our family not being granted the opportunity to speak at the WWE induction of Bad New into the Legacy Hall of Fame. But from past inductees we all knew that was not going to happen, please don’t be bitter, please just be happy that he was given this honor. I am happy.

“Had we been given the opportunity the speech would have been short… something like this

Good evening, on behalf of our family, I want to thank WWE for this incredible honor. To see my husband inducted into the Legacy Hall of Fame is something we will cherish forever.

“I also want to take a moment to thank Benjamin Brown and Holly Von Holtz for taking such good care of us through all of this. Your kindness and support have meant more than you know, and we are truly grateful.

“To the fans—he loved you more than you may have realized. Now, he may have called you “beer-bellied sharecroppers” and “spineless cockroaches”… but that was the character. That was the show. Because outside that ring, he was the exact opposite—a devoted husband, a proud father, and a man with a big heart.

“He gave everything he had to entertain, to connect, and to leave an impression that people would never forget.

“His gimmick has been copied more than a few times by those who came after him… and in this business, that’s one of the highest forms of respect. It means what he created mattered. It meant something. And it lasted.

“He truly left his mark—helping shape an era and even giving Hulk Hogan the name “Hollywood Hogan,” a name that became legendary in its own right.

“Though he’s been gone for many years, his voice still echoes. In every cheer, every memory, every moment like this—he’s still here. And tonight, I know he would be so proud… not just of this honor, but of the family, the fans, and the legacy he leaves behind.

“Thank you for remembering him. Thank you for honoring him. And from the bottom of my heart—thank you for never letting him be forgotten.”

Alongside, Sycho Sid, Bad News was added to the WWE”s Legacy Wing where he will be immortalized forever.

Cam’ron: Roman Reigns Does What Triple H Says, The Rock Wouldn’t

Cam’ron had something to say after his name was mentioned on the Raw after WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the events that unfolded during the week of WrestleMania 42, rapper Cam’ron started some beef with Jey Uso, and it ended with him being pulled over his table and given a couple light scratches from the whole ordeal. However, it didn’t end there and is still continuing.

After winning the World Heavyweight Championship, Roman Reigns was the final segment this past Monday on WWE Raw where he brought out the Usos and joined in on clowning Cam’ron after the incident with Jey.

This would spark a response from Cam’ron where he name dropped Paul Levesque (Known in the ring as Triple H) and told the Tribal Chief to keep doing what the boss says before issuing a big challenge for SummerSlam against the Usos on his Instagram.

“All I can do is laugh at you @romanreigns staying for Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania is like eating thanksgiving leftovers on Monday after thxgvn The Rock would Never

“But you’re @tripleh lil lil employee. You better do what he says

“@uceyjucey bring ya whole family and let’s settle this in August at #SummerSlam ”

It will be very interesting to see what the next response is from the Bloodline, or if the conversation and subject officially drops here before it escalates to something beyond both sides expectations.

In the end, Stratton would walk away with the massive victory over one of her biggest idols in the business, she would go on to tell Adrian Hernandez that she is keeping the motto ‘never say never’ close to her heart in regard to another battle with Stratus.

“Oh, it was just- I feel like that whole day was just so amazing. I feel like it was like a dream. I’m really proud of that match with me and Trish. I thought we had such a good match together. We had amazing chemistry, and Trish, I love her. I love her so much. I wish we could have a round two. But never say never. Maybe she’ll come back out of retirement for me.”

Stratton has been recently involved in a feud with the Women’s United States Champion, Giulia, and had a number one contenders match against Jordynne Grace on Friday Night SmackDown to determine who would be next in line for the Women’s United States Champion.

Rob Parker: I Don’t Understand How Grown Men Still Like Wrestling

Fox Sports’ Rob Parker had a lot to discuss when it came to the discussion of professional wrestling fans.

After the massive weekend that was produced from plenty of pro wrestling companies, from the Indies to the WWE in Las Vegas, Nevada for Mania Week. It sparked a lot of athletes, celebrities, and even TV personalities diving into the conversation to give their thoughts on what they think about professional wrestling.

One Fox Sports TV host by the name of Rob Parker had this to say about grown men that are into pro wrestling on his show, The Odd Couple.

“I’m just shocked to see ESPN….I know McAfee was involved and Stephen A. It was a big ordeal. I saw stuff online where people were ripping it that it wasn’t good. A lot of commercials. Four hours and they only wrestled for an hour and a half.

“I can’t understand how grown men are still into wrestling. I can’t. We all went to the zoo. We all went to the circus as kids, right? At some point, you grow out of it. I just can’t get over how older guys who are sports fans, who watch the NFL, baseball, the NBA, and live and die for that stuff, but they have this soft spot for wrestling, and they’re walking around with the belts, and they’re going to a watch party at a sports bar. I need somebody to explain it to me, because I don’t understand it.”

Parker has worked for FOX Sports and ESPN, where he has appeared many times on shows like Colin Cowherd’s The Herd and on First Take, alongside Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith where he talked about controversial takes in sports.
