Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green Tease Partnership to Challenge for Women’s US Title

Tiffany Stratton may be reconsidering going it alone in her pursuit of the WWE Women’s United States Championship. In exclusive WWE footage released ahead of Friday’s SmackDown, Stratton crossed paths with Chelsea Green backstage — and the conversation ended with a very different tone than their previous encounter.

Last week, Green approached Stratton before her title match against Giulia and proposed a partnership, only to be turned down. Kiana James’ interference ultimately helped Giulia retain the championship, giving Green’s offer retroactive credibility. This week’s backstage exchange saw Green mock Stratton for the defeat and reveal she is close to returning from her ankle injury — with designs on going after Giulia’s title herself once back.

Tiffany Stratton Acknowledges She Needs Help and Considers Chelsea Green as a Potential Ally

After initially walking away uninterested, Stratton returned and delivered a moment of honest self-assessment. She admitted that she does need some help to beat Giulia and that Green — “as annoying as” she is — could be a valuable ally in that pursuit. The tease of a Stratton and Green partnership adds a new dimension to the Women’s US Championship picture on SmackDown heading into the post-WrestleMania 42 season, with both women now circling the title from different angles.
