Tiffany Stratton defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Bayley on SmackDown tonight. Bayley earned this opportunity after winning a Fatal 4-Way match last week. Several factors suggest potential outcomes for this championship encounter.
Factors That Could Impact The Championship Match
Stratton’s reign as WWE Women’s Champion began less than a month ago. The brief duration of her championship tenure, combined with WWE’s investment in her potential, indicates she may retain the title.
The ongoing situation with Nia Jax presents another layer to consider. Stratton captured the championship by betraying Jax. Rather than interfering to cost Stratton the title, Jax might target both competitors to set up a future championship opportunity for herself. Candice LeRae could potentially join Jax in this assault.
A recent interaction between Bayley and Roxanne Perez on NXT adds another dimension. Their hostile exchange during Bayley’s appearance on the developmental brand could lead to Perez interfering in tonight’s match. Perez, who lost the NXT Women’s Championship to Giulia last week, might prevent Bayley from capturing her second WWE Women’s Championship.
Stratton enters this match seeking her first career victory over Bayley.
