Tiffany Stratton is bringing her newly won WWE Women’s Championship to SmackDown this Friday, and she’s got some explaining to do after what she pulled on Chelsea Green. WWE has officially announced that Stratton will appear on the November 13 episode, marking her first SmackDown appearance since stabbing her friend in the back at Crown Jewel.
As Ringside News previously covered, Green had just defeated Liv Morgan to become the Women’s Crown Jewel Champion on November 7 when things went completely sideways. After Morgan attacked Green following the match, Stratton came running out and initially appeared to be saving her friend. Instead, she smashed Green with her Money in the Bank briefcase, cashed in her contract, and hit the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to steal the WWE Women’s Championship.
Stratton didn’t stop there. She also walked away with Green’s Crown Jewel Championship belt and ring, turning what should have been one of the biggest nights of Green’s career into a disaster. Green later addressed Stratton’s betrayal, admitting that losing a friend hurt just as much as losing her championship. Now Stratton is returning to SmackDown with the title, and WWE hasn’t announced whether Green will be there to confront her.
Friday’s SmackDown will take place at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, starting at 8 PM ET on the USA Network. John Cena is also scheduled to appear to discuss the upcoming John Cena Classic and invite more Superstars to participate in the December 14 event at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Stratton got exactly what she wanted at Crown Jewel, but now she has to face the fallout from screwing over someone who trusted her. WWE hasn’t announced what she’ll be doing on Friday beyond her appearance, but with Green still dealing with the betrayal, there’s plenty left to settle between them.
What do you think Tiffany Stratton will have to say when she returns to WWE SmackDown? Should Chelsea Green get her hands on her former friend immediately, or should WWE drag out their feud? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
