Major WWE star seemingly set for face turn following RAW move - Reports
The WWE RAW brand is working a double TV taping this week due to an upcoming international tour. The fallout from Bad Blood is set to bring massive creative changes to both brands, beginning with tonight's live RAW episode. Sources have just revealed a major turn that looks to be in the works.
Tiffany Stratton has been on SmackDown since her call-up from NXT in February. The 25-year-old quickly made a name for herself on the main roster, aligning with Nia Jax. There's increased heat between the two as of late due to Stratton teasing a Money in the Bank cash-in, while Jax is the current WWE Women's Champion. The tension picked up at Bad Blood during Jax's win over Bayley.
The Blonde Bombshell is apparently moving to the RAW brand. Fightful Select adds that next week's taped RAW main event will feature Stratton and Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Ripley is scheduled to open next week's RAW episode, so it's likely that Stratton will also be involved in that segment, which is to tape after tonight's live episode.
Sources were not clear if Stratton's move to RAW is temporary or if this is being done to get her away from Jax for good. There's speculation on Stratton potentially cashing in on Liv to capture the Women's World Championship, perhaps at WWE Crown Jewel during the Jax vs. Morgan match to crown the inaugural Women's Crown Jewel Champion.
Next week's RAW main event will mark Stratton's in-ring debut for the red brand. She appeared on two RAW episodes earlier this year for Elimination Chamber and the WWE Draft build.
