IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Old Switcheroos? WWE Reportedly Planning To Send Two Superstars To SmackDown
This week on SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money In The Bank briefcase to become the WWE Women’s Champion, defeating Nia Jax. According to PWInsider.com, Stratton’s cash-in and title win were planned weeks ago and kept secret. The title change was designed to make this week’s show, the first three hour edition, feel special and give it a big moment.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that can make for a special moment, as changing a title does feel like a big deal. WWE understood that and had Stratton win the title, which is what needed to happen for a few weeks now. Stratton has been built up towards the title change and now we get to see where things go from here, which has me interested, as WWE is doing something right.
What do you think of the title change? What is next for Stratton? Let us know in the comments below.
