Tiffany Stratton to lose Money in the Bank contract after WWE star returns to SmackDown? Exploring possible swerve

Tiffany Stratton has yet to cash in her Money in the Bank briefcase, even though she has teased a cash-in on both the Women's Champion Nia Jax and the Women's World Champion Liv Morgan. She won the briefcase in July this year.

The briefcase cash-in hasn't happened yet, though, and it is unclear whether she will use her contract soon to become a champion and possibly have a face turn, seeing as both champions are currently heels. Thus, Triple H and the WWE creative team could find a different angle for her storyline, which is to put her MITB briefcase on the line against a returning WWE legend.

This WWE legend is Charlotte Flair. The Queen has been out for almost a year due to a serious knee injury, but she is reportedly getting closer to a return on Friday Night SmackDown.

The former women's champion could show up on the blue brand and target Tiffany Stratton, challenging her to a match for the MITB briefcase. Charlotte could win and become the new Ms. Money in the Bank, getting the opportunity to dethrone either Nia Jax or Liv Morgan.

In case this scenario happens, Tiffany Stratton could turn face and continue to be part of the title picture on the blue brand, creating an opportunity for fresh match-ups.

Tiffany Stratton will look to advance to the semi-finals of the Women's United States Championship tournament

The newly-introduced Women's United States Championship has become one of the top storylines on SmackDown lately.

Three female stars have already clinched their spot in the semi-finals, namely Bayley, Chelsea Green, and Michin. The fourth participant of the semi-finals will be determined by the final first-round Triple Threat Match, featuring Tiffany Stratton, Naomi, and Elektra Lopez. The winner will go on to face Michin for a spot in the final.

Naomi and Tiffany will continue their feud, following their WarGames match at Survivor Series. Meanwhile, Lopez is the underdog but could take advantage of the Naomi/Tiffany feud and upset her opponents, advancing to the semi-finals.

As for Stratton, should she become the inaugural Women's United States Champion if she makes it to the final at Saturday Night's Main Event, it might be easier for the WWE creative team to have her drop the Money in the Bank briefcase to a returning Charlotte Flair.
