In 2023, Tiffany Stratton made herself known to the wrestling audience outside of NXT's narrow walls thanks to a celebrated series with Becky Lynch over the developmental brand's title. She lost the title and the rematch, but it now feels like the only way is up.

Her high ceiling was obvious from the off on Tuesdays, but Mondays or Fridays in 2024 seem inevitable. Her persona might have initially scanned as a caricature, but she's performed so well in the role that viewers are actively encouraged to not judge the bright pink book by its cover.

Fusing a celebrated gymnastic background with a heel mean streak, Stratton's a multi-tool player that the main roster desperately needs. The comically broad strokes Shawn Michaels paints with on NXT are at times a little much, but they're preferable to the passive and disinterested attitude Triple H seems to take on Raw and SmackDown. Stratton alone isn't the solution, but she's a great start.

As is...
