WWE will continue its build to Saturday Night's Main Event and the Royal Rumble on tonight's SmackDown. Tiffany Stratton won championship gold in her first full year on the main roster and is now cooking up ways to keep the momentum going to WrestleMania 41. The rising star has revealed custom title defense branding for her matches.
The Buff Barbie had an impressive 2024. After making her televised main roster debut in the Women's Royal Rumble Match, Stratton worked her first Elimination Chamber to a huge ovation from the Australian crowd. The former NXT Women's Champion won her first Money in the Bank Ladder Match but lost her WarGames debut. Stratton was aligned with Nia Jax but turned on her to cash in her MITB contract and dethrone The Irresistible Force of the Women's Championship on the first SmackDown of this year.

Stratton is set to make her first title defense on tonight's SmackDown from San Diego. She will defend against Bayley, who earned the shot by winning last week's Fatal Four-Way number-one contender's match over Jax, Naomi, and Bianca Belair. The 25-year-old, who also had a major backstage controversy last year, previously had a custom MITB briefcase, and now she has custom branding for her title defenses. Tiffany took to Instagram to reveal the new moniker: Tiffy Title Defense.
"My first tiffy title defense tonight," Stratton wrote.
Top name doesn't want to enter the WWE Hall of Fame. More details HERE.
Stratton held the NXT Women's Championship for 107 days in 2023 after defeating Lyra Valkyria for the vacant title. She was defeated by Becky Lynch on the September 12, 2023, episode of NXT.
