Tiffany Stratton Talks About Her Unexpected Love for Video Games
Surprising lots of people, Tiffany Stratton – known for holding the WWE Women’s United States title – shared a quirky pastime blending pro wrestling fame with old-school fun. Instead of chasing new gadgets like most sports figures do, she went against the flow last year when buying a PS3 despite it being long outdated. Fans from both arenas, combat and controller-based, found themselves curious. The move felt out of step with trends, yet oddly refreshing. Not everyone dives into vintage consoles mid-next-gen boom. She did.
Out of nowhere, the WWE athlete dropped a curious fact while stopping by A Shot of Brandi online. People started talking fast once they heard it, particularly those who spent their teens glued to PS3 screens.
Former WWE Champion Finds Joy in Retro Games
Back then, games meant something different. For Stratton, it wasn’t about speed or graphics. A sense of nostalgia pulls her toward the older console. She remembers playing late into the night. Her brother would sit beside her, laughing at every mistake. Newer models never felt quite right after that. That old system held moments they built together. Time hasn’t faded those hours. Instead of upgrading, she chooses to return.
Stratton still points to Call of Duty Zombies as her main reason for getting the console. That survival experience took off back in the PlayStation 3 days, growing into something much bigger than just a game mode. Fans stuck around even now, years later, keeping it alive through sheer interest alone.

Years after playing, Stratton still finds meaning in that mode when she talks about her games. She thinks back to it now and then, not sure exactly why it sticks around in her mind so clearly.
“But it was only because I liked playing with my brother,” explained the WWE star.
Even though she never said exactly which Call of Duty game she’s into now, a bunch of the series’ favorite Zombies modes came out when the PlayStation 3 was king. Before long, followers started guessing – maybe she went back to one of those older ones. Around then.
Gaming Interest Goes Beyond WWE
Out of nowhere, Stratton landed in WWE 2K26 with a solid 91 score. Her climb started when she took the NXT Women’s title, then grabbed Money in the Bank soon after. Now ranked among the elite, she stands tall in the roster. From early matches to big stages, her path shifted fast – no slowing down.
Even with more fame lately, Stratton said she still plays mostly Call of Duty, not much else. Though known widely now, her gaming time stays close to one title. Fame hasn’t pulled her toward different games, only slight curiosity shows up now and then. Her spotlight grew, yet the console hours remain fixed on familiar maps. Recognition increased, but the controller choices? Still narrow.
“But stay tuned, I might,” she said.
Maybe down the line she’ll dive into more games, judging by what she said. Right now though, replaying old PS3 moments in a legendary game mode seems just right for the wrestling titleholder.
