Tiffany Stratton Returns at WWE Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia

Tiffy Time is officially back on WWE television—and she didn’t wait long to make a statement for fans in attendance in Saudi Arabia.

During the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble in Riyadh on January 31, Tiffany Stratton made her long-awaited return to WWE, entering the match as the #30 entrant. The crowd inside the stadium erupted as Stratton hit the ring and immediately began clearing house, taking out multiple competitors with signature flair and intensity. Though the match was still in progress at the time of writing, it was clear: Stratton is back—and she’s here to dominate.

Her surprise return follows weeks of behind-the-scenes speculation. As reported earlier, there had been strong backstage chatter that Stratton was in Saudi Arabia and slated for a comeback. This marked her first appearance since losing the WWE Women’s Championship to Jade Cargill on November 1, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

While her absence was initially attributed to creative decisions, Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer confirmed Stratton had been dealing with an undisclosed injury:

“She’s been out of action with an injury,” Meltzer reported, though the exact nature of the setback was never publicly revealed.

Even during her time away, Stratton kept fans guessing through cryptic social media posts, teasing a return that always felt inevitable. And tonight, she delivered on that promise—in style.

With her 2025 accolades—including Money in the Bank and a brief but impactful title reign—Stratton’s return instantly shakes up the women’s division. Whether she’s gunning for revenge against Jade Cargill or charting a new path to WrestleMania, one thing’s clear: Tiffy Time is just getting started.
