Nia Jax is not best pleased with her protege, Tiffany Stratton, and trouble looks to be brewing between the two stars on WWE SmackDown. The WWE Women's Champion grabbed Tiffy in the backstage area by the neck and had harsh words for allowing Bayley and Naomi to remain on the blue brand.
The Irresistible Force warned Stratton that if the situation ends badly for the champ, it will be even worse for her ally. This ominous warning could lead to her dismissing the former NXT Champion and reuniting with Alexa Bliss.

Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss were friends who turned enemies years ago and even collided for the women's title at WrestleMania 34. Bliss bullied Jax, a babyface then, and she got revenge by dethroning her.
Top WWE star blasted, compared to Winnie the Pooh RIGHT HERE
Alexa Bliss has been absent from WWE since January 2023, and last appeared in the Women's Royal Rumble match. She's been away on maternity leave but has been teasing a return lately, with social media posts of ring work.
Recent reports suggest Bliss isn't scheduled for an imminent return, so the storyline could play out longer between Jax and Stratton. The champ could reach boiling point and destroy her lackey, and go on a tear.
Tiffany Stratton could start a babyface run that likely ends in her winning the title from Jax. That's until Bliss is revealed to be the Australian-American star's new ally, and the former five-time women's champion can replace Miss MITB.
Tiffany Stratton could cash in on Nia Jax at Bad Blood after their WWE SmackDown run-in
Tiffany Stratton looked frightened when Nia Jax made it clear that she needed to back her up more on the blue brand. What Jax saw unfold on SmackDown tonight, seeing Bayley become the No.1 contender for her title after beating Naomi would surely not smooth things between the two allies.
Bayley will challenge Jax for the WWE Women's Championship at Bad Blood next Saturday (October 5). This could be the opportune time for Stratton to decide enough is enough and cash her Money in the Bank briefcase in on her supposed friend.
It could also be the destination for the duo to implode; perhaps Stratton decides not to help Jax in her match. They have aligned since early summer and are real-life besties.
However, Jax has become mad with power during her title reign and has started belittling the young upstart. She's doing everything she can to make sure she continues on top of the WWE SmackDown women's division.
