The historic three-hour debut of WWE SmackDown left fans stunned as Tiffany Stratton successfully cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase to claim the WWE Women’s Championship. But an intriguing new update adds another layer to the story.
Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda reports, “I’ve been informed that Tiffany Stratton is still not listed on the internal babyface roster after winning the WWE Women’s Championship on #SmackDown.” This revelation raises questions about how WWE plans to position Stratton moving forward and whether her surprise championship win signals a shift in her character or alignment.
The decision to crown Stratton was a calculated move, coinciding with SmackDown’s expansion to a three-hour format. While the moment elevated Stratton to new heights, the lack of clarity on her internal status has sparked speculation about what’s next for the young champion. Will she continue as a heel, or could this championship reign signal an eventual face turn?
Behind the scenes, the cash-in was reportedly planned for weeks, but kept tightly under wraps to maintain the surprise factor. Stratton’s victory was seen as a pivotal moment for WWE’s women’s division, but her internal classification—or lack thereof—might suggest there’s more to this story waiting to unfold.
