Tiffany Stratton has found herself a new tag team partner to deal with some haters on WWE SmackDown.

At the WWE NXT Homecoming episode on September 26th, WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was supposed to team up with Rhea Ripley and Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer against Fatal Influence.

However, Stratton was not cleared to compete for that match, so she was replaced by Lyra Valkyria, who is a former NXT Women’s Champion like Stratton. The trio of Ripley, Vaquer & Valkyria easily won the match.

The good news for Stratton is that she will be able to team with Vaquer in the future.

During WWE SmackDown in Cincinnati, Tiffany Stratton and Stephanie Vaquer had a contract signing for their Women’s Crown Jewel Championship match at the Crown Jewel PLE on October 11th in Perth, Australia.

It was one of those contract signings that was respectful, where Stratton and Vaquer spoke about how they respect eachother, yet they are both confident that they can win the match.

Tiffany Stratton And Stephanie Vaquer Were Attacked On WWE SmackDown

After Stratton left the ring, the Women’s US Champion, Giulia, showed up with Kiana James, and Giulia knocked down Stratton from behind. James got into the ring with Giulia.

James said that Vaquer is a star, but she’s not a superstar yet. Vaquer said that she is cornering the market by taking Giulia to the top, and she outshines Stratton as the best women’s champion on SmackDown. James said that she can make Vaquer the Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.

As James was unsuccessfully making her pitch, Tiffany Stratton was back up, and she pulled James out of the ring. Stratton punched James. Vaquer grabbed Giulia and tried to use the SVB, but Giulia slipped out of it. Giulia left with James while Stratton and Vaquer were in the ring.

Later in the show, it was announced that Tiffany Stratton will team up with Stephanie Vaquer on the October 10th edition of SmackDown against Giulia and Kiana James. It would be a surprise if Stratton and Vaquer lost that match.
