A heel Tiffany Stratton to return and align herself with two superstars? Exploring SmackDown possibility

Tiffany Stratton lost the WWE Women's Championship to Jade Cargill at Saturday Night's Main Event XLI. She had injured her knee a few weeks earlier but got medically cleared before the showdown last weekend. Having lost the title, it now seems that Tiffany might return to SmackDown as a heel and ally with Giulia and Kiana James.

The 26-year-old captured the Women's Championship earlier this year by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Nia Jax on the blue brand. She had assisted Nia to defend the title against Naomi before eventually turning on her to capture the gold.

Although Stratton successfully defended the title against top superstars on SmackDown, many believed that her reign was underwhelming. That led fans to suggest that she needed to embrace a more sinister side to spice up her reign, but that never happened.

However, after losing the Women's Championship to heel Jade Cargill at SNME XLI, Tiffany Stratton might finally return to the squared circle as a heel. In a massive twist, she could align with Giulia and Kiana James and help The Beautiful Madness retain the Women's United States Championship against Chelsea Green.

Given that fans are unhappy with how the 26-year-old lost to Jade Cargill, having her switch to a heel persona might be an ideal way to help her regain momentum in the women's roster without any title around her waist.

Also, considering the notable success the 26-year-old previously achieved as a heel, Giulia and Kiana James could benefit from working with her.

However, this angle is speculative, and nothing has been confirmed. Fans will have to wait and see how things play out tonight on SmackDown.

WWE Veteran says the major issue with Tiffany isn't her fault

Given that many weren't satisfied with Tiffany Stratton's reign as a now-former WWE Women's Champion, Vince Russo has now pointed out one major issue, as she believed that it wasn't her fault.

Speaking on the final episode of Bro Down, Russo claimed that no wrestler has thrived this year, after host Mac Davis asked him about who he believed was the WWE Superstar of the year in 2025. He further revealed that the question was more about who had made the most with what they were provided with.

After the veteran complimented Tiffany on the Women's roster, he noted that her awkward promos weren't her fault, as no one backstage in WWE has provided her with any feedback to help her improve.

"That's all RAW and SmackDown is - it's wrestling bulls**t. Nobody is standing there saying, 'nobody would ever have a conversation like that.' That's a wrestling conversation. And that's kind of Tiffany. And nobody has told her that's now how you would really react, what you would really say, that wouldn't be your delivery. Nobody told her that," Russo said.

That said, it will be interesting to see what plans the creative team has for the superstar after dropping the WWE Women's Championship.
