Tiffany Stratton Reflects On ‘Surreal Moment’ Of Defeating Trish Stratus At WWE Evolution 2

Stratton was feeling the pressure leading up to the match.
Tiffany Stratton is in the midst of her reign as WWE Women’s Champion, and her sixth title defense was against Trish Stratus at WWE’s all-women’s Premium Live Event, Evolution.
While guest appearing on WWE – Die Woche, Stratton reflected on facing the Hall of Famer and said it was surreal. She was proud to be on the show and hopes there’s an Evolution 3.
“Oh, that whole weekend, I was so nervous. Obviously, Trish Stratus, she is the GOAT. She’s one of the greatest of all time, and you know, I’ve beat what you could argue (is) a current GOAT, Charlotte Flair. So, I had the confidence going into this that I had beat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania and then I had just beat Nia Jax a couple of weeks ago in Saudi Arabia so going into that, I had some confidence. However, Trish Stratus, she’s one of the greatest of all time and she’s a generational talent so, going into this, I wanted to have fun, but I also wanted to show Trish I’m not someone you can just mess with. I’m the next GOAT, I am becoming the GOAT of GOATS so, once I beat her, it was just such a surreal moment. That crowd was amazing at Evolution. I can’t believe the audience there. They were behind every single match, they were so supportive. All in all, that day was just so fun and it was amazing.
Every single woman delivered on that PLE and I saw some people saying that it was probably one of the best PLEs that we’ve had in the past couple of months so, that is so amazing, especially when the PLE is filled with just women. So, I’m super proud to be on Evolution 2 and I hope that there’s an Evolution 3.”
Next up for Stratton is SummerSlam, where she’ll be defending her title against the 2025 Queen of the Ring winner, Jade Cargill. To see who’s the betting favorite to win that match, check out Fightful’s official partner, MyBookie.
