This interview for Ring the Belle is short (4:21) but I'll break it down a bit for those unable to access right now. Some direct quotes included on why her music changed, stuff no longer in her entrance/moveset among other things!
Elimination Chamber talk about her popularity in Perth. Stratton shocked by not only her reception but by the other women's as many were booed against her. Says everyone was so happy for her backstage and no one got upset.
She was kinda just sorta informed she was on the main roster after asking when she wasn't on the following Tuesday's NXT after Rumble.
No payoff for Tiffy's Daddy as they couldn't find someone to fill the role (maybe, kinda jokey). There's so many Daddies in NXT though! "Shawn Michaels could have been my daddy!" *laughs*
Entrance changes: "I miss my Barbie-tron. The music change *I* asked for. Ummm, yeah. I know everyone hates it, however... like, get used to it cuz it's my music now! *laugh* But I had wanted the "It's Tiffy Time!" and then my music to hit. It's kinda still in the works a little bit with everything; so... w-we're working with what we got."
Paparazzi snaps are gone because she felt it made her too pose-y.
The host says the people are missing the Tiffy Twist.
*incredulously* "Ooooo. Are you? I feel like I would botch that like 90% of the time! (That's why it's gone?) Yeah. I just, I couldn't get all the way around on the twist after a while and it just got kind of dangerous. I would twist into the ground and I wouldn't see (it) quick enough."
Swantons and moonsaults are much easier for her to reliably perform.
They review the NXT Stand and Deliver 2023 ladder fall. Stratton is very diplomatic over "what happened?". "I don't know, to be honest. My back was sore for a couple weeks (and) cramped up that night. I'm a good like, seventeen feet in the air, comin' down quick, I'm expecting some people to catch me! *laugh* And I just *hand slice* go right through them. But it's okay! I survived."
As the flag-bearer for Divas in modern WWE if she could wrestle any one of them it'd probably be Kelly Kelly as she feels they've got some correlation going.

I like her response to the question about the Tiffy Twist.

Perhaps not quite the same as Australia, especially as that was unexpected, but another decent reaction to Tiffany in the Backlash press event.
It was confirmed there that tonight (or in a couple of hours) on Smackdown Tiff will team with DCTRL to take on the 4 faces in the women's PLE matches. It'll be interesting to see who takes the pin if it's a decisive win for one of the teams.

Heels are getting to stand tall here before losing tommorow as usual.

The WWE turned Bunkhouse Buck into Jack Swagger's Dad, I'm sure there's an old WCW jobber out there somewhere needing a payday to play Tiffy's Daddy.

I can see Bayley retaining tomorrow as well but I'm not going to complain as I'm thinking the earliest she'll drop it is at SummerSlam. I also think it's too soon for Tiffy anyway and, like you I think it'll be Naomi who takes the pin in a protected finish of sorts for Tiffy. Just hope Nia doesn't get involved, but she probably will lol.

I'll try not to spoil too much for those who haven't seen it, but when you watch later on, keep an eye on her from after the Alabama slam. Looks like she did her back in when Naomi interrupted her pin attempt. Hopefully it will just be selling, but it was weird as when she came back in to take the Bayley slam she kind of stopped and held her back, and just didn't look right. If it is legit, hopefully it doesn't affect her tomorrow.

There's kind of a spoiler in this link and you see the finish, but it does kind of showcase what I was talking about for those wanting to see. She was struggling to get in back in the ring. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNWY77dTmtU

She still did that running double stomp thing and took Bayley’s finisher.
So we’ll see. Finger’s crossed.

Did you notice anything during the match? I notice her reaching for her back a lot. But it’s hard to tell if she legit tweaked it or was just selling well?

Hopefully it's just a case of her selling or at least nothing serious, it'd suck if she was legit hurt just before her first title match on the MR on a PLE.

I said it before but she really needs to stop doing that stomp atleast the way she does it because she is gonna roll her ankle really badly one day .
Anyways as for her back I would not worrie too much right now unless it becomes a constant thing with her where she is always grabbing at her back either way it would suck for her to be already having any sort of back issues this early into her career but also she comes from a gymnast background and they are notorious for big time lower back issues so might be something flaring up.

Let her get a massage, get some rest. Maybe a cortisone injection if needed, etc.

I'm devastated that she doesn't sound like her character in real life.

Tiffany's dad looks like the lead singer of a 90s alternative rock band.
