Nia Jax has yet to find out who her opponent at Bad Blood on October 5 will be, but this will change this Friday on SmackDown. More specifically, the winner of a no one contender's match between Bayley and Naomi will determine who The Irresistible Force will face next Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia.
Even though Bayley is the favorite to win this match and set the stage for a rematch with Nia Jax, aiming to reclaim the Women's Championship, Nia could interfere to prevent The Role Model from winning. Should this happen and a brawl gets underway, two things might happen - first, the title match at Bad Blood can become a Triple Threat, with both Naomi and Bayley as contenders, and second, Tiffany Stratton could show up and attempt a cash-in.
Ms. Money in the Bank is best friends with Nia Jax, but WWE has teased a cash-in on multiple occasions. Even though this hasn't happened yet, she is considered the biggest threat to Nia.
For this to happen, Tiffany Stratton will need to have a face turn before turning on her friend and dethroning her.

Nia Jax opens up about her run as Women's Champion
Nia Jax dethroned Bayley at SummerSlam and became the new WWE Women’s Champion. It is the second time she has won this title, and The Irresistible Force is excited about her current run.
During an interview with Screen Rant Plus, the champ said:
"I think when I first won the title, it was a great moment against Alexa Bliss. We had that amazing storyline, and I wasn’t expecting to win that one. So, it was more of a shock to me. And, it was during the time where we had Ronda [Rousey] coming in, and there were so many factors going on. So, I didn’t really get to soak it in. I feel like this one [her current WWE Women’s Champion win] has meant so much more to me," Jax said.
Heading into another title defense, it remains to be seen what the plan is for Nia and how long WWE will keep her as Women's Champion as we are heading into the final months of 2024.
