BACKGROUND ON TIFFANY STRATTON'S WRESTLEMANIA 41 ENTRANCE

The following was issued to PWInsider.com:

Tiffany Stratton's surprise Barbie-inspired entrance at WrestleMania 41 utilized Proto's AI hologram technology.

The ingenious stunt created by the WWE production team created convincing confusion over which of the 3 boxes held the real Tiffany Stratton. Proto is the original hologram communications and AI spatial compute platform in use in finance, healthcare, education, retail, entertainment and sports. The technology allows people to "beam" anywhere in the world, and for hyper-real AI avatars to converse in any language. This is the first time Proto has been used at a WWE event.

"I've followed WWE for decades so to actually have Proto at WrestleMania is like some insane dream," said Proto Founder and Chairman David Nussbaum. "One of my favorite things is seeing all the inventive things people come up to do with our hologram and AI tools -- the WWE creatives have really raised the bar tonight -- and Tiffany Stratton 100% sold it!" 

Here's Tiffany at the press conference:

"So I actually kind of had this idea in my head for a while, even before I got signed by WWE, while I was training, I always kinda wanted to have the persona of "The Buff Barbie Doll" and I always kind of envisioned coming out of like a Barbie box for an entrance one day, and I pitched it in NXT and it just- it never happened and I'm so grateful it didn't happen because it happened on the biggest stage at WrestleMania."
