Nia Jax-Tiffany Stratton alliance shows cracks after SmackDown cash-in attempt

Tensions between Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton escalated on SmackDown following a failed Money in the Bank cash-in attempt. Candice LeRae prevented Stratton’s opportunity during the show’s opening six-woman tag team match, leading to her team’s defeat.

The match featured Bianca Belair, Naomi, and Bayley competing against Jax, Stratton, and LeRae. While addressing accusations about the Jade Cargill attack, Jax maintained her team’s innocence and suggested Belair might have orchestrated the incident.
