Will Nia Jax win back the WWE Women’s Championship?

Nia Jax is pissed. The former WWE Women’s Champion was on top of the world last year after she beat Bayley at Summerslam. However, Tiffany Stratton killed her dreams when she finally cashed in her money in the bank contract. Ever since then, Jax has been trying to get the better of Ms. Stratton, but she just hasn’t figured out a way to do so. That might change tonight as Nia finally gets her one-on-one match against Tiffany Stratton. 

Speaking of Money in the Bank, the qualifiers for the 2025 match continue as Jimmy Uso, Rey Fenix, and Solo Sikoa compete for the men’s match. None of these men have ever been in a Money in the Bank ladder match, but with Sikoa’s new enforcer (Jeff Cobb) and no disqualifications in triple threat matches, the Bloodline leader comes in with some clear advantage.

On the women’s side, Chelsea Green, Alexa Bliss, and Michin fight for an opportunity to get into this historic match. Green and Bliss have experience in this match. In fact, Bliss has won the Money in the Bank ladder match before. The former WWE Women’s Champion is finally getting into the groove of things since her return at the Royal Rumble. Who will become the next participants in the annual match?

Also, John Cena has snapped. Granted, the Undisputed Champion hasn’t been in the right mind since turning on Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber, but Cena took out his anger on his biggest fan following a controversial win over Orton at Backlash. Will the champ appear tonight and explain his heinous actions? And will R-Truth say during his interview with Wade Barrett?

Check out the advertised matches below:

  • Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Championship
  • Chelsea Green vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Michin in a qualifier for the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match
  • Jimmy Uso vs. Rey Fenix vs. Solo Sikoa in a qualifier for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match
  • Aleister Black vs. Carmelo Hayes
  • Fraxiom vs. DIY
