The American professional wrestler, Tiffany Stratton, has often found herself close to the world of gymnastics. Because she was once a member of the U.S. national Gymnastics Team, and even won a bronze medal at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in 2016. But as a renowned name in WWE, she has often shown her stance in favor of Simone Biles. And now, Jessica Woynilko (Tiffany Stratton’s real name) has made a huge demand from the queen of flips.
Stratton recently had a conversation with Logan Paul on the Impaulsive Podcast. Therein, the YouTuber-turned-WWE star asked her if she could go back in time and give herself a memorabilia, or a teamwear, or something like that, what would it be? Paul confirmed that she was open to choosing anything and from anyone, be it an athlete or a celebrity. And Stratton wasted no breath in choosing Simone Biles.
She said, “Maybe like a Simone Biles signed leotard.” When Paul expressed his shock and admiration at the demand, Stratton simply stated, “She’s the GOAT!”

Final: Artistic gymnastics – Paris 2024 – Floor August 05 2024: Simone Biles United States of America competes during floor final on Day 10 of the Olympic Games, Olympische Spiele, Olympia, OS at Bercy Arena, Paris, France.
Well, this wasn’t the first time Stratton expressed her admiration for the 11-time Olympic medalist. Back in 2024, before the Paris Olympics, she had a brief talk with The Score. And when she was asked about a ‘bucket list person’ with whom Stratton would love to share a moment and push her story forward, the WWE star named… Drumroll… Simone Biles.
She said, “I think Simone Biles. It would be so cool to have in the crowd, or to even kind of have a moment in the ring with, because she’s obviously the GOAT. She is the greatest all-time in gymnastics. She’s about to win all the gold medals in the Olympics this year. So yeah, Simone Biles would be my pick.”
Now that it’s clear that Tiffany Stratton holds Simone Biles in a pretty admirable light, let’s move our attention to the signed leotard. After winning 5 golds and 1 bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Biles decided to auction a signed leotard. But do you know how special it was to her?

Simone Biles talks about her special signed leotard auctioning on eBay
During a conversation with Teen Vogue back in November 2016, Simone Biles revealed the sentiments that she had for the auctioned leotard. “This leotard is incredibly special to me! It’s an authentic Simone Biles leotard from my signature leotard line, Simone GK. It’s meaningful because not only is it one of my favorite designs, but it reminds me of the leotard I wore at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics when I won a gold medal on the vault.”
What’s your perspective on:
Is Simone Biles' influence in sports so profound that even WWE stars like Tiffany Stratton seek her memorabilia?
Have an interesting take?
But there’s more to the story.
Biles continued, “Another reason this auction is special to me, is because the proceeds raised on eBay’s giving platform, eBay for Charity, will go towards The Academy at the World Champions Centre, which is my parents’ gym that I train [at].”
