Speculated title change could happen closer to RAW's Netflix debut, feels WWE veteran (Exclusive)

WWE seems to be ending 2024 and entering the new year with a lineup of important shows that need big moments. A Tiffany Stratton cash-in could be a possibility during this phase, and Dutch Mantell believed it could happen before RAW's move to Netflix.

Stratton's storyline with Nia Jax has progressed gradually in recent months, and despite teasing it a few times, Tiffany is yet to officially cash in her Money in the Bank contract.

The moment, whenever it happens, will be talked about extensively, and our experts on Smack Talk discussed what could be the best time for WWE to pull the trigger.

SP3 felt that moments like a title change were best reserved for Saturday Night's Main Event or RAW's upcoming debut episode on Netflix, scheduled for January 6th, 2025. Nia Jax is not scheduled to compete at Saturday Night's Main Event, but it was noted that WWE could always book her to appear for a segment, leading to Tiffany Stratton cashing in.

The company could follow a similar booking pattern on RAW's Netflix debut. However, Dutch Mantell didn't feel the women's title change would happen on the first episode of the Netflix era.

The former manager explained:

"How many weeks before we go to Netflix? I don't know the figure they have created, but I'll do it a little closer to the 6th if they can and let it be fresh in everybody's mind. I think doing it Saturday night would be a little too early, I think." [From 41:20 onwards]

The dynamic between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax suggests that a cash-in is inevitable, but will she be allowed to win her first world title on the main roster? We should know soon enough.
