Speculation surrounding Tiffany Stratton’s impending Queen of the Ring Quarter Final match against Bianca Belair was dispelled after rumours emerged, suggesting the match had been jeopardised due to a controversial video supposedly shared by Stratton, which led to unfounded replacement rumours.
The TikTok video in question, incorporating audio related to race alongside footage of Stratton striking Belair’s tag partner, Jade Cargill, sparked unverified speculation of Stratton’s potential removal from the match in favour of Nia Jax. However, it was later clarified that the audio in the video was sourced from a meme and was not recorded by Stratton herself, debunking the initial assumptions.
Addressing the situation, a report from PWInsider affirmed that the match was never cancelled by WWE and refuted any allegations of internal repercussions for Stratton. Contrary to the rumours, she has received commendation from WWE management and fellow talents following her transition from NXT to the main roster earlier this year.
Furthermore, the report emphasised that Stratton’s standing within WWE remains unaltered, with management continuing to recognise her as a promising talent with significant potential. As of the latest update, Stratton’s scheduled match against Belair is still set to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE SmackDown, affirming the continuation of her trajectory within the company.
