Tiffany Stratton

Jessica Lynn Woynilko (born May 1, 1999) is an American professional wrestler and former gymnast. As of August 2021, she is signed to WWE, where she performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Tiffany Stratton. She is a former one-time WWE Women's Champion, one-time NXT Women's Champion, and the winner of the 2024 Women's Money in the Bank.

After winning weightlifting and bodybuilding championships, Woynilko's parents wanted her to become a professional wrestler and had her trained by Greg Gagne. She signed with WWE in August 2021 and debuted in November, before joining the developmental brand, NXT, where she won the NXT Women's Championship once. She was then promoted to the main roster on SmackDown in February 2024.

Jessica Woynilko was born on May 1, 1999, in Prior Lake, Minnesota. She graduated from St. Catherine University in Saint Paul and practiced trampoline gymnastics for several years. Her gymnastics career ended in 2017, when she suffered an undiagnosed stress fracture in her foot. Woynilko's parents wanted her to pursue a career in professional wrestling, so her mother contacted former American Wrestling Association (AWA) wrestler Greg Gagne to train Woynilko prior to joining WWE. She cites watching Charlotte Flair on SmackDown as her inspiration for becoming a professional wrestler.

On August 30, 2021, Woynilko was the only woman announced in a new group of recruits who would be training at the WWE Performance Center. During a taping of the November 16 episode of 205 Live, she made her professional wrestling debut under the ring name Tiffany Stratton, defeating Amari Miller. On December 28, she debuted as a heel on WWE's developmental brand, NXT, with a rich, spoiled 'daddy's girl' gimmick, defeating Fallon Henley.

In March 2022, Stratton began her first feud with Sarray, whom she attacked for rejecting her offer to replace her necklace with one Stratton would give to her. Sarray responded by costing Stratton her matches over the following weeks, resulting in Stratton defeating Sarray on the April 19 episode of NXT. On May 24, she replaced the injured Nikkita Lyons in the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament, but eventually lost to Roxanne Perez in the finals. Stratton next feuded with Wendy Choo, defeating her at NXT: The Great American Bash on July 5, before losing to Choo in a lights out match on the August 23 episode of NXT. After taking time off due to an injury, Stratton returned in January 2023 at NXT: New Year's Evil. At NXT Stand & Deliver on April 1, she competed in a ladder match for the NXT Women's Championship, which was won by Indi Hartwell. She failed to win the title from Hartwell in a triple threat match also involving Perez on April 25 at Spring Breakin'.

Stratton took part in an eight-woman single-elimination tournament, in which she defeated Gigi Dolin in the quarterfinals, Perez in the semifinals, and Lyra Valkyria in the finals at NXT Battleground on May 28 to win the NXT Women's Championship, her first championship in her career. On June 27, at NXT: Gold Rush, Stratton made her first successful title defense against Chase University's Thea Hail. During the match, Hail submitted Stratton, which the referee did not see after a distraction by Drew Gulak. This led to a submission match for the title at NXT The Great American Bash on July 30, where Stratton defeated Hail, after Andre Chase threw in the towel when Stratton locked Hail in a submission. On the September 12 episode of NXT, Stratton lost the title to Becky Lynch, ending her reign at 107 days. She failed to regain the title from Lynch in an Extreme Rules match at NXT No Mercy on September 30. On December 9, she competed in the women's Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline, which was won by Blair Davenport.

At NXT: New Year's Evil on January 2, 2024, Stratton lost to Fallon Henley in a "ranch hand or servant for a day" match, thus she had to work at Henley's ranch for a day the following week, in what marked her final NXT appearance. On January 27, at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Stratton entered the women's Royal Rumble match at number 29, eliminating Perez, before being eliminated by the eventual winner Bayley.

On February 2, Stratton was officially assigned to the SmackDown brand. Stratton defeated Zelina Vega on the February 16 episode of SmackDown to qualify for the women's Elimination Chamber match at the titular event on February 24, where she eliminated Naomi, before being eliminated by Liv Morgan. At Backlash France on May 4, she failed to win the WWE Women’s Championship from Bayley in a triple threat match, also involving Naomi. Stratton then formed an alliance with Queen of the Ring winner and WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. On July 6, Stratton won the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match at the namesake event. At Survivor Series WarGames on November 30, Stratton participated in her first WarGames match alongside Jax, Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Candice LeRae, where they lost to Naomi, Bayley, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.
