Wrestling veteran Bill Apter has predicted that a major WWE heel will soon be undergoing a face turn. The Hall of Fame journalist noted that he does not see Tiffany Stratton being a villainous character for a long time.

Stratton has been a heel since the beginning of her pro wrestling career in 2021. Last Friday, she cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on Nia Jax to win the WWE Women's Championship. She will defend the title against Bayley after the latter won the #1 contenders match on SmackDown this week.

Speaking about the Buff Barbie on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Bill Apter noted that she gets the loudest cheers from fans despite being a heel and thus WWE will soon have to turn her babyface.

"What was confusing here but it was good is Tiffy's trying to maintain her heel persona. She really was coming across as a heel but the fans were loving her, they were not letting her be a heel. When Nia came out, the fans were booing Nia and they're cheering Tiffy. And Tiffy was trying to get heat terribly with the things she's saying and it didn’t work. They love Tiffy and I think they are gonna have to soften Tiffy’s kinda heel style a little bit in terms of her promos to go with the audience and be a babyface,"said Apter. [from 26:52 onwards]

Tiffany Stratton has had a rapid ascend in the Stamforf-based company despite having no prior pro wrestling experience. She already has won the NXT Women's Championship and currently holds the WWE Women's Championship.
