Stratton Answers Crown Jewel Backlash; Clip Draws Dislikes
Summary: WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton posted a message on Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 8, answering fans angry about her Crown Jewel cash-in. Ringside News says the title-change clip on WWE's YouTube had far more dislikes than likes.
The quick version
- Stratton posted an Instagram Story on Nov. 8 that, per Ringside News, told critics to stay mad about her Crown Jewel cash-in.
- Ringside News says WWE's YouTube clip of the cash-in had about 493,000 views, 9,004 likes and 28,464 dislikes when it wrote.
- We could not check the like and dislike counts, and they change. The Stratton post is a Story, so it may be gone.
Tiffany Stratton has answered the fans who disliked how she won the WWE Women's Championship. Ringside News reported on Nov. 8 that she posted an Instagram Story with a photo of herself and the text "Tiffy 2 X Hoes Mad," set to a song of that name. We did not see the Story ourselves.
The reaction
Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Chelsea Green at WWE Crown Jewel on Saturday, Nov. 7, in Riyadh, minutes after Green won the Women's Crown Jewel Championship. See our cash-in story.
Ringside News says WWE's own YouTube upload of the cash-in had around 493,000 views, about 9,004 likes and about 28,464 dislikes when it wrote. That is roughly 76% dislikes to 24% likes. It does not say how it got the dislike figure, and it adds that the counts can still move.
In a second Ringside News piece, fans called the result predictable. One commenter asked why Roxanne Perez had not been given the briefcase. Those are comments from viewers, not a measure of all fans.
What we do not know
WWE has not been quoted on the reaction in the reports we read. Green said on the Crown Jewel post-show that she lost "a friend," per Fightful, as our cash-in story reports. We have not seen how WWE plans to continue the story.
