Early years

Jessica Woynilko was born on May 1, 1999.[3] She graduated from St. Catherine University in 2019. She practiced gymnastics for several years.[3]

Professional wrestling career

On August 30, 2021, Woynilko was the only woman announced in a new group of recruits who would be joining the WWE Performance Center to work in WWE as professional wrestlers.[4][5] During tapings of a November 16 episode of 205 Live, she made her professional wrestling debut under the ring name Tiffany Stratton, defeating Amari Miller.[6] The meeting between the two was broadcast three days later.[7]

After the great reception of her fans for her character as "daddy's daughter millionaire girl", she would soon debut on the NXT brand, where on December 28, 2021, she would defeat Fallon Henley. She would start a feud with Sarray which would cost each other victories thus giving a match between them. The feud would culminate on the April 19, 2022 episode of NXT, where Stratton was victorious thus ending the feud.[8] On May 26, Stratton was part of the NXT Women's BreakOut Tournament, replacing Nikkita Lyons after she suffered an injury, defeating Fallon Henley in the semifinals. However, she was defeated in the finals by Roxanne Perez.[9] Stratton then started a feud with Wendy Choo defeating her at Great American Bash but lost to her in a lights out match on the August 23 episode of NXT.

After a time out of action due to a head injury reported in October 2022,[10][11] Stratton made her return on January 10, 2023, at NXT: New Year's Evil, where she cut a promo showing an affirmative attitude to her rich girl persona.[12]
