Tiffany Stratton led the NXT comeback night

NXT has been teasing something with a countdown gimmick for the past several weeks, and on New Year’s Eve (January 10) the show kicked off by revealing what they’ve been preparing – the return of Tiffany Stratton.

Stratton has been off TV since losing his Lights Out match to Wendy Choo back in August of last year. Reports are that she was out head injury, although there is evidence that she also had some plastic surgery while she was out. Regardless, the former gymnast is back, and her spoiled “dad” persona is still getting the heat.

That was just one of several comebacks of the night. Gallows, who has not been seen since losing a Tavern Rules match to Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen in September, smashed a Tag Title Gauntlet match and seems tuned to revenge day Shot in the New Day. Tyler Bate, who hasn’t been around for a while after losing his championship unification match with Bron Breaker, promises to be back for good next week as well.

Oh, and the man who beat Seth Rollins to become the first-ever NXT Champion She works Tuesday nights now sound.
