Tiffany Stratton cashed in her MITB contract on Nia Jax to become the WWE Women's Champion last week on SmackDown. It marked a fresh start for her after months of being overshadowed by The Irresistible Force. However, Stratton's celebrations may not last long, as a three-time WWE champion could debut on SmackDown this week and confront her.
The star in question is Roxanne Perez. The Prodigy is a two-time NXT Women's Champion and a former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion in her career on the developmental territory. However, she lost the NXT Women's Title to Giulia at NXT's New Year's Evil this week, marking the end of her 276-day reign and signaling the end of her journey on the brand for now.
As a result, speculation is mounting that Roxanne Perez could officially head to the main roster to kick off a new chapter in her career. The Prodigy has been on NXT for more than three years, and there is not much left for her on the developmental brand. Hence, Perez could shock the world by debuting on SmackDown and challenging Tiffany Stratton.

The chances of it happening are good, as her main roster call-up is seemingly on the horizon. Stratton also needs a fresh opponent to kick off her title reign on the blue brand. Therefore, if WWE revisits the feud between The Prodigy and The Buff Barbie on the main roster, it could be an electrifying showdown on the road to WrestleMania for the women's division.

Furthermore, SmackDown currently lacks a vicious heel in the women's division. The arrival of Roxanne Perez could be a massive addition to the roster, and the company will also look to capitalize on her red-hot momentum coming off an incredible NXT Women's Title reign.
Tiffany Stratton to defend the WWE Women's Championship at Royal Rumble 2025?
Tiffany Stratton is one of the main attractions of the SmackDown women's division, especially after winning the WWE Women's Championship. With the company seemingly entrusting The Buff Barbie as the face of the women's division, she will likely be involved in major feuds.
However, the question remains if the 25-year-old star will defend her title at WWE's next major show, Royal Rumble. There is a high chance that the Triple H-led creative will book Tiffany Stratton for a major match at the upcoming spectacle. There are reports that the management is impressed with the warm reception she received from the fans on RAW this week.
As a result, the company might plan to give her a sustainable push in 2025. Royal Rumble could be a perfect stage to kick off her main event journey in WWE. Furthermore, there are expectations that the newly crowned champion could be involved in a high-profile feud with a top star on the road to WrestleMania 41.
Therefore, the Royal Rumble could serve as the place where WWE might sow the seeds of her WrestleMania feud. Moreover, the spectacle in Indianapolis is going to be the first premium live event of WWE in the Netflix era. Hence, the company could put Tiffany Stratton in the spotlight, showcasing her as the future star of WWE.
