The trend of main roster superstars traveling to WWE NXT has increased in recent times and Tiffany Stratton could be having an unprecedented target behind her back via this notion. The reigning NXT Women’s Champion certainly has a number of challengers gunning for her title. Now, a star power from the main roster is also admittedly coming after the up-and-coming female star of NXT.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Natalya Neidhart named several competitors she’s interested in facing on the main roster as well as on NXT. She had huge praise reserved for the reigning NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Being the veteran one in the territory, she seemed open to working in a program with the future star power.

Natalya wants a program with Tiffany Stratton on NXT
“Tiffany has really kind of embraced her character. She’s very interesting to watch, but I like that she’s open about, ‘Hey, these are things I need to work on.’ She said recently in an interview a couple months ago, like she wants to get better in the ring and she knows that she’s still not there yet, but she wants to grow,” Natalya seemed open to going back to NXT if a feud against Tiffany Stratton could be planned by the WWE creative team.
“It’s like she stepped out of character to say that she wants to get better, and I was like, damn, I really respect that. So one day I’d like to have a match with Tiffany, and I’m not opposed to going to NXT to do that.”

Natalya heaped praise on young female talents of the WWE
Time will tell whether the wised feud against Tiffany Stratton will happen or not. Just about a few months ago, Natalya did have the opportunity to re-enter the NXT brand to put over another young talent in Cora Jade. Speaking on the Queen of Harts praised that NXT talent while she also mentioned a few names whom she would love to dance in the ring,
“I’d love to work with IYO [SKY], I would love to work with Bianca, I’d love to work with Bayley, with Dakota [Kai] when Dakota comes back. Somebody that’s really impressed me, I love working with Cora Jade at NXT. I love her character development and how she’s really kind of evolved in her character.” (quotes courtesy WrestleZone)
A feud between the young and talented Tiffany Stratton and the veteran-most Natalya should be a fun program. While the latter wishes to continue her career on Raw despite spending 15 years in the business, the current NXT Women’s Champion witnessed a meteoric rise on the third brand of the WWE.
At the age of just 24 years, Tiffany Stratton won the NXT Women’s Championship in just her 26th televised match during the NXT Battleground premium live event defeating Lyra Valkyria in the finals of a tournament. She gained a clean pinfall win after landing the Prettiest Moonsault Ever on her opponent. At NXT Gold Rush, she also went through her first successful title defense.
