Tiffany Stratton Shares Story Of Being Detained At London Heathrow Airport, Almost Missing Flight With WWE

Stratton said things got intense.

The reigning WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was a guest on the latest recording of WWE – Die Woche on Instagram Live.

One of the questions asked of Stratton was for her to share a bad travel experience. She went on to tell the story of when she was detained at London Heathrow airport in London, England, for having Mace. She almost missed her flight with WWE and said everyone was waiting for her.

“I think I was in the UK. I think it was London Heathrow airport. So, I hope this doesn’t get me in trouble or anything but, I had Mace on me and… Mace is considered a firearm in the U.K. and I don’t know how but someone told me you can’t even travel with Mace in America but I was traveling with it like everywhere I went so, I got through TSA fine with my Mace in America. However, I went to London Heathrow and they found the Mace and basically they… I think they kind of detained me and they put me in a little corner and then a police officer had to come, it took like a whole hour. They asked me all these questions and eventually, they let me go, but I almost missed my flight. Everybody was waiting for me, with WWE, and it was kind of just such a mess and I was so scared that I was gonna get arrested and had to have stayed in the U.K. or something like that but, it all worked out, it was fine. They understand that, you know, Mace is considered a firearm in the U.K. but, not in America so, that is my craziest travel story… It was so intense though. It was so intense. It was like, ‘Nope, you gotta go over here. Don’t talk to anybody.’ It was very intense and crazy.”

Stratton was last in London for WWE during the company’s overseas tour pre-WrestleMania 41. The March 28th edition of Friday Night SmackDown took place in London.
