The opening match of the Elimination Chamber 2024 was surely a spectacle to watch. The Women’s Elimination Chamber match featured Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton, Naomi, and Raquel Rodriguez squaring off to win a chance to get a title shot at WrestleMania 40.

And one superstar who truly won hearts in the match was Tiffany Stratton. The former NXT Women’s Champion became the highlight of the match, despite actually being won by Becky Lynch, with several moments worthy of a highlight reel. So when she became the second person to be eliminated, this created waves on social media.

Entering the match at number three, Stratton shared several spots that depicted her in-ring prowess. One of the bigger highlights was a high-flying maneuver that left fans in awe. Stratton and Lynch fought at the top of one of the booths. Stratton managed to knock ‘The Man’ down before executing a Swanton bomb on all her rivals from the top of the booth. She then went on to apply a rolling senton on Liv Morgan before looking to perform her finisher, but Morgan surprised her with an ObLIVion for a pin that eliminated Stratton.

The crowd in attendance did not like the idea of Stratton being eliminated, that too so early in the match as she became the second superstar to leave the ring. Boos and chants of “bullsh*t” echoed throughout the Optus Stadium in Perth. But it wasn’t just the fans in attendance, as others were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts.

With as much praise as Stratton got during the match, it is likely that the promotion will take notice and push her in future matches. Standing out in a ring with greats like Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair and Raquel Rodriguez, it’s not surprising that one fan called her talent “generational”.
