WWE’s Tiffany Stratton Eyes Bodybuilding Return While Marching Toward WrestleMania 42

Tiffany Stratton isn’t just setting her sights on WrestleMania 42 — she’s also stepping back onto a bodybuilding stage.

The former WWE Women’s Champion recently revealed on TikTok that she is nine weeks away from competing in her second-ever bodybuilding competition. For Stratton, it’s more than just a side project — it’s a return to a passion she once had to put on hold when her WWE journey began.

In the video, Stratton shared that she originally fell in love with bodybuilding before signing with WWE in 2021. At the time, balancing the two physically demanding careers simply wasn’t realistic. Now, however, she believes she’s in a place where she can manage both the grind of sports entertainment and the discipline required for competitive bodybuilding.

Stratton invited fans to follow along as she documented part of her prep, detailing a shoulder-and-triceps “push day” workout along with some post-lift cardio. If nothing else, it’s a reminder that even by WWE standards, Stratton’s commitment to conditioning remains on another level.

Before entering the squared circle, Stratton built an impressive athletic résumé. She spent years as a gymnast, developing the explosiveness and agility that have become staples of her in-ring style. According to her former trainer Greg Gagne, she also excelled in bodybuilding and even set a record in her weightlifting class. Ultimately, she paused both gymnastics and bodybuilding to focus entirely on professional wrestling — a decision that quickly paid off with championship gold in WWE.

Now, as she prepares for a return to the bodybuilding stage, Stratton is also gearing up for one of the most dangerous matches on the WWE calendar.

She is currently confirmed for the upcoming Women’s Elimination Chamber match, where Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Rhea Ripley have already been announced as opponents. The winner will punch their ticket to WrestleMania 42 and challenge for a world title on April 18 and 19.

With a high-stakes Chamber match looming and a bodybuilding competition just over two months away, Stratton is proving she’s more than capable of handling pressure — both under the bright lights of WWE and on the judging stage.

If she manages to peak at the right time in both arenas, 2026 could be another defining year for one of WWE’s most athletically gifted stars.
