WWE superstar Tiffany Stratton is stepping away from wrestling for a while to focus on her first love: bodybuilding.

On April 8, BTS TV announced that Stratton is preparing for her second bodybuilding competition. She had taken a break from wrestling in February to prepare for her upcoming NPC competition.

Stratton made a similar announcement on her TikTok page, showcasing a shoulder workout for the event. With the complete Wrestlemania roster out, Stratton is likely to miss out on one of the biggest WWE tournaments, Wrestlemania 42, which will be held on April 19, in favour of the bodybuilding competition.

In the video, the former WWE Women’s Champion admitted:

“I’m 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. I remember I fell in love with bodybuilding, and then I got signed to 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.”

As of now, it is not known which division she will participate in. In one of her videos, she was even seen practicing her poses for both bikini and figure divisions.

Right before signing with the WWE in 2021, Tiffany Stratton won her first and only bodybuilding competition to date. She was the overall winner of the Figure category at the NPC Twin Cities Open in Minnesota. At that time, she went by her name, Jessica Woynilko.

How Is Tiffany Stratton Preparing for the Bodybuilding Show?

In an interview with Muscle and Fitness, Tiffany Stratton revealed her training and diet routines that are helping her prepare for the NPC stage.

“WWE does provide catering at TV tapings, and they have a chicken and rice section where it’s salt and pepper chicken and then plain rice, and they always have vegetables and salads and stuff like that." 

But when she’s not at work, she uses Instacart to order everything from rice cakes, yogurt, protein powder, and hard-boiled eggs. As for her training, she doesn't let the travelling for WWE become an obstacle. She ensures to find good gyms in whichever town she is in, whether through TikTokker reviews of searching on the internet.
