The curtain is coming down on Tiffany Stratton's first main roster Women's Title reign, and it seems she's pretty helpless to do anything about it. Over NOC weekend, Tiff retained the title in a fun 'Last Woman Standing' match vs. Nia Jax on SmackDown, but it was Jade Cargill who took centre stage on the actual PLE to win Queen Of The Ring and punch her ticket to SummerSlam.

That means one of two things.

One, Naomi cashes in her Money In The Bank briefcase on Stratton and takes her title away so WWE can get right back on Naomi vs. Jade albeit with gold on the line this time. Or, two, Cargill challenges Tiffany at SummerSlam, then Naomi cashes in her chips to win the title and steal Jade’s thunder all at once. That second one sounds like absolutely the kind of thing a vindictive, spiteful and occasionally jealous heel like Naomi 2K25 would do.

Beating Nia in Saudi could turn out to be Tiffy's final successful title defence then. Y'know, unless she's put in another title bout on some random episode of SmackDown between now and SummerSlam, or happens to hold onto it at Evolution come 13 July. It'd be a waste if the likes of Stratton, Naomi and Jade were posted missing from the latter PLE anyway.

The clock is ticking on 'Tiffy Time' regardless. Either Naomi or Cargill can be considered the champion elect who'll run the show from early-August onwards. Who knows what Trips and his writing staff have in mind for Stratton once she drops the strap? It'll be fun finding out.
