Tiffany Stratton, the current NXT Women’s Champion, made a bold claim during a promo on this week’s special “Heatwave” episode of NXT television. She declared that she would be a better champion than the greats that came before her, including Becky Lynch. However, there’s just one problem with her statement – Becky Lynch was never the NXT Women’s Champion.
Shayna Baszler, a former NXT Women’s Champion herself, was quick to point out this error. She tweeted, “Becky was never champ at NXT. But you know who was, for more total days than ANYONE?” Baszler’s tweet highlighted her own impressive reign as the NXT Women’s Champion.
Despite the confusion, there are several potential contenders who could challenge Stratton for the title. Roxanne Perez, Blair Davenport, Kiana James, and Gigi Dolin are all formidable competitors who could potentially become better champions than Becky Lynch if they were to win the NXT Women’s Championship.
Even Becky Lynch herself chimed in on the conversation. She tweeted, “I haven’t been NXT Women’s Champion… yet.” It seems that Lynch may have her sights set on the title in the future.
Following the social media buzz surrounding this exchange, NXT took the opportunity to further the storyline. They tweeted a video of Stratton saying, “But to me she’s quite literally irrelevant,” in reference to Becky Lynch. This response from Stratton only added to the comedic nature of her claim to be a better champion than Lynch.
It’s clear that Stratton’s title run is generating attention and controversy. While her claim may not be entirely accurate, it has sparked a conversation among fans and wrestlers alike. The NXT Women’s Championship remains one of the most prestigious titles in professional wrestling, and the competition for it continues to heat up.
