Tiffany Stratton attempts Money in the Bank cash-in at WWE live event
The Buff Barbie’s cash-in attempt on Nia Jax signals growing tensions, while Asuka hints at championship pursuit through social media.
Tiffany Stratton attempted to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax during a recent live event.
The opportunity arose when both Jax and Michin were down following their match, but The Irresistible Force recovered in time to prevent the cash-in by slamming the briefcase.
This development follows weeks of growing tension between Stratton and Jax on SmackDown. The situation has been further complicated by Candice LeRae’s efforts to align herself with the champion, potentially taking Stratton’s position within the group.
Asuka signals return with memorable callback to Nia Jax rivalry
As the women’s division continues to evolve, Asuka has indicated her potential return to action through a creative social media post. The three-time world champion, sidelined since May due to knee surgery, referenced her history with Nia Jax by sharing a modified Heimlich maneuver diagram.
The post featured the first two standard steps of the procedure, with the third replaced by an image from their December 2016 NXT Women’s Championship match showing Asuka executing a German Suplex on Jax.
This strategic message suggests The Empress of Tomorrow could resurface either at the December 30 RAW or during the show’s Netflix premiere on January 6.
