4 reasons why Tiffany Stratton should cash-in her briefcase at WWE Bad Blood
WWE Friday Night SmackDown's women's division is quite interesting at the moment. The leader of the brand and the WWE Women's Champion is the powerful Nia Jax, who defeated Bayley to win gold at SummerSlam.
While every woman on SmackDown, at least in theory, is gunning to dethrone Nia, two stars in particular who want to win her title as soon as possible are Bayley and Naomi. In fact, the duo will face each other in a number one contenders match later tonight on SmackDown.
One person also involved in this ongoing saga is Tiffany Stratton. Stratton is Ms. Money in the Bank and friends with Jax. However, many believe that she could potentially cash in her prized briefcase on the champion.
The perfect time for Tiffany to cash in could arguably be at Bad Blood, the company's next premium live event and the show where Nia Jax will put her belt on the line. This article will take a look at a handful of reasons why The Buff Barbie should cash in her briefcase at the big show in Atlanta.
#4. Tiffany Stratton teasing cash ins on WWE television without actually doing it could grow stale
The Money in the Bank briefcase has been one of the most interesting parts of WWE television since it was first introduced back in 2005. The likes of Edge, Seth Rollins, The Miz, CM Punk, Carmella, IYO SKY, and more have had some of the best and most memorable cash ins ever.
As good as the Money in the Bank concept is, it can become a little redundant at times. A heel constantly teasing a cash in, or trying to cash in but failing repeatedly can get old quite fast. The idea is fun, but only for a brief period of time. Otherwise, it becomes overdone.
Tiffany Stratton's time as Miss Money in the Bank hasn't become stale yet, but WWE should be careful not to let it happen. Instead, she should strike while the iron is hot at Bad Blood and avoid having her time with the briefcase ultimately become a detriment.
#3. It would move along the Tiffany-Nia angle
WWE under Triple H is known for having a lot of interesting angles, often with long-term storytelling. While it is more so on the men's end of things, the likes of Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan and Bayley's exit from Damage CTRL are shining examples of this booking style.
Triple H and WWE are clearly looking to do the same with Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. They have been building up their friendship for months now, while also including teases of tension and potential betrayal.
Just like with failed cash in attempts, too much teasing could end up hurting the story long-term if there's no notable movement. Having Tiffany cash in at Bad Blood, either on Nia Jax or somebody else in the bout, could take Stratton and Jax's story to the next level before it becomes dull.
#2. A cash in would protect Bayley and Naomi from taking the fall
Nia Jax is going to be defending her WWE Women's Championship at Bad Blood. The only issue is fans and World Wrestling Entertainment alike don't quite know which of the stars will be challenging the Queen of the Ring.
Bayley and Naomi are set to go one-on-one on WWE SmackDown tonight and the winner will face Jax at the upcoming premium live event. Either one could win, but there could also be some kind of a shady finish that leads to a draw, which could ultimately make Nia's bout at Bad Blood a Triple-Threat Match.
Regardless of whether one or both women fight Nia, the popular babyfaces really shouldn't be losing to Jax again after suffering recent defeats to the powerful star. If Tiffany cashes in, either on one of the challengers or Nia herself, it would give the babyface stars an out without having to have been pinned by Jax again.
#1. This would provide a memorable and unexpected moment
The final reason why Tiffany Stratton should cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase at WWE Bad Blood comes down to it being an unexpected and memorable moment.
Stratton using her briefcase to win gold would make for a shocking spot. These are always needed in pro wrestling, but an argument could be made it is more necessary under Triple H.
The Game has logical booking and long-term angles, which makes for better television. The only drawback is that sometimes WWE events can become more predictable, as most decisions make sense and aren't done on a whim. A cash in would help make a show feel less predictable while still maintaining long-term storytelling.
