The latest episode of WWE SmackDown opened with the 2024 Miss Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton. She warned all the women's champions that it was "Tiffy Time" and that she would soon be the world champion.

Bayley, the current reigning WWE Women's Champion, then made her way out to congratulate Tiffany. The Role Model was impressed but asked her to avoid cashing in her contract on her, warning that she would be the first woman to fail a cash-in attempt. "Queen" Nia Jax then told Bayley not to get ahead of herself as they have a title match at SummerSlam. The champ asked Jax if her friend Tiffany Stratton would cash in on her if she won. She questioned their friendship and asked if Nia still has PTSD from 2018. This line referenced Nia's former friend, Alexa Bliss, who cashed in her MITB briefcase on Jax to become the new women's champion.

It will be interesting to see how the dynamic between Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton plays out moving forward.

Nia Jax secured an impressive win on WWE SmackDown

The confrontation on SmackDown between Nia Jax and Bayley escalated into a brawl as Jax and Tiffany Stratton started attacking The Role Model. However, Michin, who has had issues with Nia Jax over the past few weeks, came out with a kendo stick to even the odds.

As a result, a match between Nia and Michin was made official. Despite a determined effort from the latter, the 2024 Queen of the Ring came out on top after delivering a devastating Annihilator to secure the win.

It will be interesting to see if Nia Jax can dethrone Bayley at SummerSlam to become the new WWE Women's Champion.
