Booker T talks Tiffany Stratton's big win.
The January 3 edition of WWE SmackDown featured a huge title change, as Tiffany Stratton finally pulled the trigger and cashed in her Money In The Bank briefcase to win the WWE Women's Championship from Nia Jax.
This decision was praised by fans around the world of wrestling, as many had grown tired of Stratton's cash-in teases. Furthermore, many fans believed that Stratton was ready to win her first championship on the main roster.
During the most recent episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T talked about the title change and praised Tiffany Stratton for being a coachable performer. Booker also stated that he expects this to be Stratton's first title win out of many.
“So coachable, man. That’s what I recognize with Tiffany more than anything. So coachable. I remember reading something that she was talking about as far as not leaving NXT before she was fully 100% ready, she didn’t want to be overconfident even though she’s very very confident in her skills and ability. To have that thought process at that young of an age, it told me a whole lot about her. Some of the little bit of advice that I gave her, she definitely went out and implemented that. Little bit of advice and I go, wow man, it’s not just going in one ear and out the other, she’s actually understanding. As far as picking it up, I’m talking about picking it up like that. A lot of these NIL talents have the knack to pick up professional wrestling. I don’t know, maybe it’s because they’ve been in that system where they are coachable, where they are part of a team, but Tiffany Stratton has definitely been that star man that’s shining really really bright. Like I said, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that saw it, you know what I mean? I definitely was on the Tiffany Stratton bandwagon from the beginning, from day one as far as this girl here, she’s a special talent and she’s going to go a long way. This is just the first of many championships for Tiffany Stratton.”
