Tiffany Stratton Possible WWE Return Date Revealed After Suffering Injury

Former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton may be ready for her big return — and it could go down this weekend in Riyadh.

According to PWInsider Elite, there’s been strong chatter behind the scenes that Stratton is in Saudi Arabia and could be one of the surprise entrants in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble match. If that’s true, it would be her first appearance since losing the WWE Women’s Title to Jade Cargill back on November 1 at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

At the time, her absence was chalked up to creative reasons. But Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer confirmed that Stratton was actually dealing with a physical setback.

“She’s been out of action with an injury,” Meltzer reported, adding that the specific nature of the injury was never publicly confirmed. The title match with Cargill lasted less than six minutes — short enough to raise questions now about whether the injury occurred during the bout or was aggravated further.

Since then, “Tiffy Time” has gone silent in the ring — but not online. Stratton’s kept herself visible on social media with cryptic posts and comeback teases. That digital presence has kept fans guessing and hyped for her eventual return, especially with WrestleMania season heating up.

Stratton had a massive year in 2025. She won the Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed in to become champion — solidifying her spot as one of WWE’s fastest-rising stars. A surprise Rumble return would immediately launch her back into title contention, potentially setting up a revenge arc against Cargill… or a new path entirely.

If she is in Riyadh this weekend, WWE fans better watch that countdown clock closely. Stratton’s return would shake up the entire women’s division — and with Royal Rumble surprises always stealing the show, don’t be surprised if “Tiffy Time” kicks off the road to WrestleMania in a big way.
