Tiffany Stratton is fully embracing the WWE Universe’s excitement over her dynamic with Rhea Ripley, as fans have dubbed them “Strapley.” The reigning WWE Women’s Champion recently spoke about the pairing and even floated the idea of a style swap with Ripley, imagining the dark and dominant Women’s World Champion in her signature pink.
Stratton on the ‘Strapley’ Phenomenon
Stratton discussed the growing buzz around “Strapley” during interviews with DS for Ring The Belle and Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez. She acknowledged that fans created the name, and she immediately found it appealing.
“The internet did! Someone said ‘Strapley,’ and I was like, that’s kind of cool!” she shared on RTB.
Stratton’s chemistry with Ripley gained attention when the two shared the ring before the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. Their contrasting personas—Ripley’s dark, intense presence and Stratton’s glamorous, self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” energy—have intrigued fans.
Freaky Friday: Ripley in Pink and Stratton in Back
Taking things a step further, Stratton suggested a “Freaky Friday” scenario where she and Ripley swap aesthetics. She firmly believes Ripley could pull off her signature pink, while she has already shown she can rock all black.
“I definitely see that in our future,” Stratton said on Unlikely. “I feel like pink would look so good on Rhea. And I feel like I can rock black. Like, I’ve rocked it before. I actually rocked it this past Friday. And I feel like I looked pretty good in black. So, I definitely see that in our future. You have to stay tuned for that as well.”
WWE has a history of incorporating social media-driven pairings into its programming. The contrast between Ripley’s dominant, goth-inspired character and Stratton’s ultra-glam persona makes for a compelling on-screen dynamic.
