Nia Jax is now the woman to beat on WWE SmackDown. The WWE Women's Champion, known as The Irresistible Force, is a dominant star but others could go toe-to-toe with her.
At SummerSlam 2024, Nia Jax defeated Bayley to become the new WWE Women's Champion but hasn't had that many feuds for the title yet. The most recent superstar she defended the title against was Michin in a Street Fight, and a new challenger could emerge en route to WWE Bad Blood. Interestingly, there could be a few who could face the champion.
For this list, we will look at three stars who can dethrone Nia Jax for the Women's Championship.
#3. Former SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi
One star who has also crossed paths with Nia Jax on Smackdown in the past is Naomi, and both have a long history with each other. They haven't been wrestling much lately, but that could change soon.
Naomi could present herself as Nia's new challenger, especially with Bad Blood around the corner, and they certainly have some bad blood between them. They feuded en route to the King and Queen of the Ring event in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, and they can revisit that clash soon.
#2. Chelsea Green could shock the world
One star who has been a fan-favorite for a while now is Chelsea Green. Fans have enjoyed her character work and her entertaining performances inside the ring. She hasn't been featured highly in recent times and even lost a match in NXT against Giulia. However, WWE could pull something unexpected to reward her for her efforts.
Green could challenge Nia for the Women's Championship on SmackDown, which The Irresistible Force could entertain thinking that Chelsea would be an easy opponent. However, Tiffany Stratton could aid Chelsea in winning the gold, reasoning that it would be easier to cash in the Money in the Bank contract against her than start a feud with Jax.
#1. Tiffany Stratton could betray Nia Jax
Speaking of Tiffany Stratton, she is the star fans expect will dethrone Nia Jax on SmackDown soon. As Ms. Money in the Bank, she has the upper hand when it comes to defeating the champion. Interestingly, what happened last week could push her to cash in soon.
Bayley and Tiffany clashed last week on SmackDown and The Role Model managed to win after a failed interference from Jax. This could push Tiffany to cash in her contract for real this time around and thus betray her friend Nia.
