Man, anyone else running out of good things to say about Tiffany Stratton?

She's been ace since landing on the main roster, but SmackDown's squash match win over Michin represented a different kind of challenge for her. It isn't always easy for workers unaccustomed to squashing others when the writers slot one of these shorter bouts in, but Tiffany came out shining yet again.

Credit must go to Mia Yim for taking a kicking without protest too. She didn't try to go all '1980s jobber with a chip on her shoulder' on the bout, but knew her role: Help take Stratton to the next level quickly without much fuss. Michin and Tiff packed a lot into the few minutes they had.

Of course, squashes won't be the latter's bread and butter on SmackDown (same with Bron Breakker long-term), but Triple H is just killing time until 'Mania season is through. He knows he has someone special on his hands in Stratton. She's a project, albeit one who already looks ready for a proper title feud.
