Tiffany Stratton will put her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship on the line against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in a Triple Threat match set for next Friday’s SmackDown episode on September 26. This announcement follows a recent heated confrontation on the show involving all three competitors, underscoring growing tensions over the title.
Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, Stratton and Cargill faced off in a one-on-one match that ended without a winner due to a double count-out after Cargill slammed Stratton through a barricade at ringside. The rivalry intensified when Nia Jax unexpectedly attacked both women, signaling her intentions to challenge for the championship herself.
Escalating Rivalries Lead to Official Triple Threat Announcement
In the latest SmackDown episode, Nia Jax openly criticized both Stratton and Cargill in a heated promo. Stratton sought to confront Jax directly but was restrained by security personnel. Jade Cargill, visibly frustrated by the situation, aggressively pushed past a security guard to confront Jax but was stopped before violence erupted.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis quickly intervened to prevent further chaos, stepping in with a firm warning to all parties involved. Aldis then formally declared that Tiffany Stratton will face both Jade Cargill and Nia Jax in a high-stakes Triple Threat match for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship scheduled for the coming week.
