Tiffany Stratton has shared a wild story from before her WWE career reached its current heights, recalling how a parking garage argument turned into a two-on-one fight that left her with a broken bone in her face.
"The Buff Barbie" discussed the incident during a conversation with streamer N3on. The WWE star explained that the confrontation happened after she accidentally cut off another vehicle while driving through her apartment parking garage.
According to Stratton, both drivers exchanged words before pulling their cars over. What started as an argument quickly became physical when the man and a woman, who Stratton identified as the man's girlfriend, both got involved.
"So, we were in my parking garage and I was coming around the corner a little fast and they were two and we kind of like both cut each other off. And the guy was like yelling out his window. So, like I was yelling out my window and then he parked his car," Stratton said.
N3on asked 'What were you saying?'
The WWE SmackDown star replied: "I don't remember. Probably like, 'Why the f*ck did you do that, you fu*king bi*ch?' So, I pulled over, he pulled over. It was a guy that got out and then I got out,” Stratton recalled.
She then explained how the situation became a two-on-one fight.
“And then a girl got out,” Stratton said. "Tag team. Tagged him in. And it was a handicap match. It was just me against them. This end's pretty brutal."
N3on asked: "It wasn't a 2v one."
Tiffany replied: "'It was.' It's the guy that hit me. So, we were going back and forth and I was brawling with this bi*ch.”
The situation took a particularly nasty turn when the woman grabbed Stratton by her hair. The former Women's United States Champion said the woman had long nails and dug them into her braids before pulling her down to the ground.
“She dug her nails into my hair, got me all the way on the ground and then her boyfriend just came in and just stomped right at my face,” Stratton said.
The attack fractured a bone in Stratton's cheek. She also revealed that the injury left her with lingering numbness around one of her front teeth.

Stratton said the incident happened between late 2022 and early 2023. More frustratingly, there were no cameras in the area that could help identify the couple. That meant Stratton was unable to pursue the matter further.
“There was no cameras,” she explained when asked whether she had sued the people involved.
After getting away from the scene, Stratton said she contacted the police. She described the experience as traumatic at the time, although she now looks back at it differently.
“It was a little bit traumatic,” Stratton admitted.
She later added that she no longer views the incident that way and can laugh about her decision to get out of the car in the first place.
“I actually like laugh about it. Like I'm so dumb for getting out of my fu*cking car and beeping.”
Stratton's story came as her WWE career entered a new phase. The star lost her Women's United States Championship to Jacy Jayne on the August 14 episode of SmackDown after interference led to the finishing sequence.
The defeat ended Stratton's 112-day reign, which began when she defeated Giulia to win the championship. Despite the recent setback, "The Buff Barbie" remains one of WWE's prominent women's stars. Her story about the parking garage incident offered a look at a much different chapter of her life, long before she became a championship-level performer in WWE.
