Tiffany Stratton Balances WWE Career with Return to Bodybuilding

Former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is set to return to competitive bodybuilding, announcing her plans in a recent TikTok video. Stratton, currently preparing for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, will compete in her second bodybuilding competition nine weeks from now.

A Return to Roots

Stratton revealed her decision to step back on stage, stating, “I am currently nine weeks out from my second bodybuilding show ever. I’m going to step on stage again and just kind of see where things are at.” She explained that her initial passion for bodybuilding was set on hold after signing with WWE in 2021, but now feels she can successfully balance both commitments.

Previous Success in Bodybuilding

Prior to her WWE career, Stratton, known as Jessica Woynilko, found success in bodybuilding, even winning the overall Figure category at the NPC Twin Cities Open in 2021. [WrestleTalk] According to her former wrestling trainer, Greg Gagne, she similarly set a record in her weightlifting class.

Balancing WWE and Bodybuilding

Stratton acknowledged the difficulty of pursuing both bodybuilding and a career with WWE simultaneously. “I remember I fell in love with bodybuilding, and then I got signed with WWE so I couldn’t really do both at the same time, but I feel like now I’m in a position where I can balance it,” she said.
