This week’s SmackDown witnessed the cracks in the friendship of Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax. Unsurprisingly, the women’s champion was frustrated over the fact of how things transpired last week. Therefore, she had a warning for The Buff Barbie this week that left her frightened.

In a backstage segment, The Irresistible Force addressed that she could have gotten rid of Bayley or Naomi last week. However, due to a miscommunication by Stratton, it was not possible. The latter was nodding to her friend only for her to choke her down suddenly. An angry Jax warned Tiffany that if this mistake from last week cost her, things might get worse for The Buff Barbie.

This hellish warning left the 25-year-old frightened. The terror of the Women’s Champion was visible on her face. However, there was also a look of intrigue after Nia walked away. This subtle interaction teases that it is possible that Stratton might be scheming a betrayal against her friend down the line.

It is going to be interesting to see how things will transpire for Nia Jax from here on now that she has the challenger for her title next week.
