A 24-year-old WWE Superstar is confident heading into their title defense against Becky Lynch next week.

Becky Lynch battled Trish Stratus in a Steel Cage match in the first match of the night at WWE Payback. Their rivalry had been going on since April, but Lynch finally put an end to it at the premium live event. The Man picked up the victory, and then Zoey Stark ended her partnership with Trish Stratus after the match as well.

Lynch was interviewed backstage after the win but was interrupted by NXT Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton. The two stars traded words, and now Stratton is scheduled to defend the NXT Championship against Lynch next week on NXT.

Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Tiffany Stratton disclosed that she is confident heading into her title defense against Becky Lynch next Tuesday night:

"I'm very confident, but I also know that Becky is one of the best of all time. She's one of the best wrestlers in the female division. I have to say that this is definitely one of the biggest matches of my career but also my career began two years ago, and Becky is coming after me, like I said last night. So I have to say that I am very confident going into this," she said. [From 50:54 - 51:25]
