33-year-old champion may beat the "living cr*p out of" Tiffany Stratton, feels WWE veteran (Exclusive)

Tiffany Stratton cemented herself as the top female star on the SmackDown roster as she cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new WWE Women's Champion. However, Dutch Mantell believes that the newly crowned champion may still not be a match for Chelsea Green.

Chelsea Green is currently amid one of the best runs of her career. She made history last month as the inaugural Women's United States Champion. Dutch Mantell is also a massive fan of the 33-year-old's work and never shies away from praising the SmackDown star.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell stated that he believes Chelsea Green may beat the living crap out of Tiffany Stratton.

"It’s the initial show, so they want something that’s memorable, and they got it with Tiffany. But I don’t think Tiffany gonna stand so strong when she goes up against Chelsea Green. I think Chelsea might beat the living cr*p out of her. I am a big mark for that. I’d buy a ticket to see it."

The former WWE manager added that the title-change segment on SmackDown was well done. Dutch also praised Nia Jax for her match against Naomi.

"I thought that Tiffany segment was very good. I am surprised at Nia. She’s improved a lot. Well, she couldn’t slow down anymore, more slower than she was; whoever put that match together, they structured it well." [From 6:00 onwards]

WWE had been teasing Tiffany Stratton, cashing in on Nia Jax for months. We finally got the payoff on SmackDown this week, with the Buff Barbie snatching the title from Jax after initially helping her retain it.
