39-year-old star to officially replace Tiffany Stratton on WWE SmackDown? Exploring the possibility
SmackDown promises a lively episode this Friday. There is a lot to look forward to, including perhaps Tiffany Stratton's replacement. The Buff Barbie has put herself in a tough spot, especially after WWE Crown Jewel. With that in mind, she could find her spot on the roster as Nia Jax's "Princess" in jeopardy, leading to her potentially being replaced by a 39-year-old star.
In case you missed it, Tiffany Stratton cost Nia Jax big time at WWE Crown Jewel. Her decision to run into the ring and try to cash in her MITB contract distracted The Irresistible Force, costing the latter the WWE Women's Crown Jewel Championship. To no one's surprise, Jax was livid and was on the hunt for Tiffy. But now, considering a week has passed and she has had time to think, Nia might just go the diplomatic route and replace Stratton with 39-year-old Candice LeRae.
The reigning Women's Speed Champion has been hinted at as a potential ally for Jax for quite a while now. Nia even relied on her back for a tag team match when Tiffany Stratton was ill. It's safe to say that The Poison Pixie has been more valuable to Nia over the last few weeks than Ms. Money in the Bank. So, on SmackDown this week, Jax could promote LeRae from being The Poison Pixie to The Poison Princess and oust Stratton from her inner circle.
Of course, all this will inevitably lead to Stratton cashing in on Jax. But, as of now, we will take things one step at a time. After all, this is nothing more than mere speculation.
Tiffany Stratton is open to working with a former two-time tag team champion
Once the inevitable comes to pass and Tiffany Stratton is ostracized by Nia Jax, she will be in desperate need of allies. Unfortunately, The Buff Barbie's reputation will do her no favors, as barely any star will be willing to team up with her. That being said, the 25-year-old herself has shown interest in working with a former two-time tag team champion who likely won't be averse to the idea.
The two-time NXT Tag Team Champion in question happens to be Stratton's real-life partner, Ludwig Kaiser. In a recent interview with The Daily Mail, Tiffany opened up about the possibility of working with the Imperium star and gave a thumbs up. She stated that if the timing and storyline were right, it could certainly be a possibility.
You can never say never when it comes to WWE, as it would undoubtedly be interesting to see the real-life couple working together. But at the end of the day, only time will tell if anything of the sort comes to pass.
