This is really pleasing to report.

Tiffany Stratton looks super-comfortable on the main roster. One of the biggest compliments you could give her is that it seems like she's always been part of this division. Oh yes, Tiff has made the leap from NXT to SmackDown with ease, and it's pretty exciting to think she's only just getting started.

Here, Stratton worked her latest solid effort vs. a woman who's still trying to get back on track post-injury. Liv Morgan's day in the sun has probably come (title-wise, at least), but she's a popular-enough babyface who always gives everything she has in-ring. Tiffany met Liv halfway, and they had a tidy match together.

Sure, the distraction into a roll-up finish is overdone, but it made sense on this occasion. Stratton is an opportunistic heel when necessary, and it's certainly promising for her that she's in segments on TV with stars like Bianca Belair.

Her match was one of this week's main highlights.
