Tiffany Stratton says she is the center of the SmackDown Universe.
Tiffany Stratton has made quite an impact since she joined SmackDown in February. She competed in the Women's Elimination Chamber and later defeated Naomi in a singles match on the March 1 episode of SmackDown.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Tiffany Stratton was asked about the way it seemed like Naomi and others were not thrilled when she joined SmackDown. The former NXT Women's Champion noted that she slapped Michin to make her mark and show them that SmackDown runs on Tiffy Time.
“When I first arrived to SmackDown, I did slap a couple girls, and I had to make my mark on SmackDown. I had to show these girls that I mean business, and SmackDown now runs on Tiffy Time, so that’s exactly what I did," Stratton said.
When asked where she thinks she ranks in the women’s division, Stratton stated that she had been nervous ahead of her call-up, but now she believes that she fits right in.
“Before, when I was in NXT, I was a little nervous being called up to Raw and SmackDown, just because it’s a new roster, it’s in front of a bigger audience. But I honestly truly feel like I fit right in with all the girls," Stratton said.
Stratton was also asked whether she had a message for the SmackDown women's division on the road to WrestleMania. She reiterated that SmackDown runs on Tiffy Time.
“I would just like to let all of you women know that SmackDown is running on Tiffy Time, and I am the center of the SmackDown universe," she said.
