Former WWE Women's Champion earns a title shot against Nia Jax; pinned her ahead of Crown Jewel

WWE Superstar Nia Jax hasn’t been in her element for quite some time now, dominating all opposition. The Annihilator was recently defeated by Liv Morgan and missed out on becoming the inaugural Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. Now, she will have to contest for the title that already rests on her shoulder next week against Naomi.

The former two-time SmackDown Women’s Champion has been feuding with Nia Jax for quite some time now. Moreover, she also pinned the reigning champ in a singles match ahead of Crown Jewel. Now, she has received an opportunity to go one better next week on SmackDown and dethrone Queen Nia.

The Annihilator has also taken a loss against Naomi during a tag team match when both The Glow and Bayley pinned her. While this seemingly slims down her chances of retaining her title, another reigning champion could help her win the match next week.

Nia Jax gets offered a replacement for Tiffany Stratton

Nia Jax had marched into Riyadh with a plan - she wanted to win the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship and dethrone Liv Morgan as the Women’s World Champion. She had asked Tiffany Stratton to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on The Judgment Day member to strip her of her title.

However, Tiffy failed to cash in on Morgan. On top of it, while The Buff Barbie couldn’t help Jax win, Raquel Rodriguez successfully aided Liv. This week on SmackDown, Candice LeRae pointed this out and highlighted that Stratton was an unreliable partner. Moreover, the WWE Women’s Speed Champion also claimed that Jax would’ve won had she helped her.

The Poison Pixie had previously helped The Annihilator win a tag team match against Bayley and Noami. Notably, she secured the win by pinning The Role Model while Jax was occupied ringside. It would be interesting to see if the women’s champion chooses to call LeRae for her help against The Glow next week.
