WWE Women's United States Champion Tiffany Stratton is considering bringing back her original NXT gimmick for her current run on SmackDown.

In an interview with KFAN on July 9, 2026, Stratton said she may re-pitch the "Daddy's Little Rich Girl" character to WWE creative.

The character, inspired by Paris Hilton's public persona, was initially developed in NXT with help from Road Dogg, Ryan Katz, and Gabe Sapolsky.

However, it was scaled back before her televised debut because NXT head Shawn Michaels and the team couldn't find an actor to play her father or establish a long-term storyline.

Stratton explained that the lack of a payoff was the main reason the gimmick was dropped.

She now sees an opportunity on SmackDown to revisit the concept with a proper resolution.

"Honestly, I may re-pitch the daddy's little rich girl stuff," Stratton said.

"The reason why HBK didn't want to go with it, I think, was because they just didn't have a daddy for me.

There was never a payoff so, maybe I can have a daddy now on SmackDown, and they can do a payoff."

Stratton has held the WWE Women's United States Championship since April and has defended it three times.

She was not featured on the recent WrestleMania 42 card after competing in a title match at WrestleMania 41.
