“Let’s make something clear, I never bashed Tiffany Stratton. I put her over weeks before about how I think she’s an amazing talent,” Rose said on a new edition of the “Power Alphas” podcast I think she’s definitely going places. And look at her, she’s the champion within, you know; she’s only been up on the main roster probably less than two years.”
“Like, I’ve always commended and highly complimented her. So, people were just going nuts, like, ‘Oh my God, you’re just jealous!’ You’re this, you’re that. She’s done more.’ And I’m like, ‘Guys, calm down first of all.’ But kudos to Tiffany Stratton, okay, because I think she’s an incredible talent and there’s no hate, trust me!”
