Tiffany Stratton is one of WWEs fastest rising stars as she has already won the WWE Womens Championship in her debut year on SmackDown.
On a recent SmackDown during an in-ring promo, Stratton used the catch phrase Put some respect on my name. This was a popular saying by the former NXT Womens Champion, Mandy Rose.
On Roses podcast, Power Alphas, she responded as follows: Tiffany Stratton, used my slogan [laughs]. Put some respect on my name. I wasnt even watching it, and I got so many tweets about it. I was like, What is going on? I saw the clip, and this bitch even used the same kind of tone [laughs]. I was like, Hold on a second, I thought we were cool. I put her over. Listen, we can admire each other, we can respect, we can look up to, but we cant take our words from each other. It was kind of funny because she used it at the end of her promo. People actually put the two videos side-by-side, and it was kind of weird because it was a video when I said it and when she said it, and it was almost the same.
Obviously, weve gotten the whole comparison thing, Tiffany and I, our looks and other things I guess. A lot of people are talking, and theyre mentioningthey almost think her saying that was a little wink-wink. Is Mother coming? Im Mother [laughs]. Theyre calling me Mother on Twitter. Theres a lot of tweets out there, a lot of chatter about if Ill make a Rumble return. Some new champions. Obviously, Tiffany Stratton is new, so congratulations to Tiffy, but dont use my words, honey [laughs]. Ill make that very clear, but thats okay. But I commend you, and I think youre doing amazing. So Ill put you over, but again, dont use my words [laughs]. (Transcript Fightful)
What was Tiffanys response? She responded to Ring The Belles question on it.
Honestly, I think its a little sad that she felt the need to go on her podcast and say something like that. I wish her the best. Honestly,she said.
Rose was released from WWE as Stratton was just starting in NXT. They only shared the ring together once and that was as a tag team at a house show along with Cora Jade. They lost to Roxanne Perez, Wendy Choo, and Zoey Stark.
