WWE star Tiffany Stratton gave fans a major scare during a training session at the WWE Performance Center, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic neck injury after an aerial maneuver went wrong live on camera.
The incident occurred while Stratton was streaming live on Twitch on September 16. During the practice session, Stratton attempted a flip from the ring ropes to the outside floor. However, she failed to get full rotation, causing her to come down awkwardly and strike her head against the ring apron before hitting the mat.
“That Was Scary”
The impact was loud enough to immediately cause panic among viewers and those in the facility, with the person filming instantly checking on her condition. Stratton clutched her head on the floor before quickly reassuring everyone watching that she was okay:
“I’m good. Oh my gosh. I’m okay. That was scary. I’m okay, I hit my head but we’re good.”
Despite admitting that the violent spill shook her up, Stratton recovered after a few moments and confirmed she was able to continue training, alleviating immediate fears of a concussion or structural neck damage.
Previous Close Calls
This isn’t the first time Stratton has dealt with a high-risk training mishap ahead of a major event. Last year, she revealed that she nearly broke her neck during a rehearsal for the 2023 NXT Stand & Deliver ladder match, though she was still cleared to compete the following day.
Thankfully, this latest scare at the Performance Center ended without major physical consequences, allowing her to avoid a forced absence from WWE television.
