WWE must crown 25-year-old SmackDown star world champion soon before it's too late, says Mark Henry
WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry, recently addressed the future of a top SmackDown star. He claimed she should become world champion soon.
Tiffany Stratton has been one of the fastest-rising stars in the Stamford-based company since her arrival to the main roster earlier this year. The 25-year-old star now has a guaranteed shot at any singes title, after winning the Money in the Bank 2024 contract.
On the Busted Open podcast, wrestling legend Mark Henry urged the Stamford-based company, under Triple H's creative leadership, to pull the trigger on Stratton and put a world title on her soon before it was too late.
"Tiffy Time should happen soon. And it don't have to happen at a pay-per-view. Like, she is well-off enough connected and has a balance with the wrestling universe enough to have a say-so. And if you wait too long, people gonna lose interest. And you can only have the briefcase for so long anyway. So, you gonna have to use it or lose it. So, might as well get to work," he said.

WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax believes Tiffany Stratton would never betray her
Tiffany Stratton has been an ally of the WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax on SmackDown over the past several months. In a recent interview with Game Rant, The Irresistible Force addressed the possibility of her feuding with Miss Money in the Bank.
The 40-year-old claimed that would never happen because Tiffy was her little princess and would never betray her. She also said they were a team and were planning to go after all the gold possible.
"Oh my gosh! Tiffy and I will never feud. She will never betray me. I don't know why you guys try to put this out in the universe. Stop trying to manifest this evilness. We are a team, okay? We're going for all the gold. Tiffy is my princess. She'll never betray me," Jax said.
Naomi and Bayley are scheduled to go one-on-one on SmackDown for a shot at Nia Jax's title at Bad Blood. It would be interesting to see if The Irresistible Force would leave the premium live event with the WWE Women's Championship.
