3 possible finishes for Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton's tag team match on SmackDown
Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton will team up this Friday night on SmackDown to take on Bayley and Naomi in a high-stakes match. This match will determine the No.1 contender to Jax's Women's Championship.
Should Bayley and Naomi win, whoever gets the winning pinfall will emerge as the No.1 contender. If they lose, though, whoever gets pinned will leave SmackDown and will move to Monday Night RAW.
With that in mind, we take a look at three possible finishes for the tag team match featuring the Irresistible Force and Ms. Money in the Bank.
#3. Alexa Bliss returns and attacks Nia Jax to become the No.1 contender
This is not a likely scenario, but we couldn't rule out the possibility of Alexa Bliss making her return to WWE after 19 months. WWE has teased her comeback for months, but she hasn't returned yet.
Thus, this tag team match looks like the perfect opportunity, since Bliss could interfere and cost Nia the victory, setting the stage for a title match at Bad Blood.
Alexa Bliss has been linked to a move to RAW to join the Wyatt Sicks, while it is unlikely to become a contender for the Women's World Championship, given the rivalry between reigning champion Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.
As a result, a move to SmackDown and a feud with Nia Jax for the Women's Championship would make sense.
#2. Bayley gets the pinfall and sets a rematch with Nia Jax
Bayley is looking to return to the title picture and continues her feud with the reigning Women's Champion and Ms. Money in the Bank.
The former champion has unfinished business with both female stars and WWE could have her emerge victorious and become the No.1 contender to the Women's Championship, setting a rematch with Nia at Bad Blood on October 5th.
#1. Tiffany Stratton turns on Nia Jax and attempts to cash in her MITB briefcase
Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax have become best friends on SmackDown and have formed an alliance. However, it appears that things have changed since Nia became the Women's Champion and Tiffany won the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Even though they are still friends and they continue their feud with Bayley and Naomi, we have seen Tiffany Stratton attempt to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase.
Thus, it could be one of the same this Friday on SmackDown, when Stratton and Jax defeat Bayley and Naomi and then Tiffany attempts to cash in her briefcase on Nia and become the new Women's Champion.
In that scenario, their friendship would come to an end and Stratton would have a face turn for the first time since her move to the main roster in early 2024.
The two female stars would then start a feud, with Nia Jax challenging Tiffany Stratton to a match at Bad Blood on October 5th, aiming to re-claim her title right away.
That said, it will be interesting to see what plans the creative team has for the No.1 contender's tag team match on SmackDown.
