Tensions between WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax and Money in the Bank winner Tiffany Stratton escalated at Crown Jewel 2024. Since Nia Jax won the Championship at SummerSlam, her friendship with Stratton has faced tensions.
WWE has teased on multiple occasions that Tiffany Stratton might be considering cashing in her contract on her friend, Nia Jax. Last Friday on SmackDown, Nia Jax came face to face with her Crown Jewel 2024 opponent, Liv Morgan. Both champions had a heated confrontation ahead of their bout. However, it was interrupted by Stratton. The latter warned both champions that she was planning to cash in her Money in the Bank contract after their match.
In a surprising turn, Stratton also cautioned Nia Jax to stay alert. Later, Jax confronted Stratton backstage, where Stratton explained it was a tactic to make Liv Morgan believe they were at odds. During Jax and Morgan’s match at Crown Jewel 2024, Stratton’s music hit as she approached the ring, ready to cash in her briefcase.
Nia Jax questioned her intentions, but Stratton was soon distracted by Raquel Rodriguez and Dominik Mysterio. Chaos followed as Mysterio distracted the referee with the Money in the Bank briefcase. This gave Rodriguez the chance to push Jax off the ropes. Seizing the opportunity, Morgan hit Jax with the Oblivion to secure the victory.
This crowned Liv Morgan as the inaugural Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. Jax was visibly unhappy with Stratton’s interference, losing the match due to her friend’s actions.

Recently, WWE shared a backstage video from Crown Jewel where Tiffany Stratton was asked about her intentions. Before she could clarify her actions, Nia Jax stormed in, angrily screaming her name. This prompted Stratton to run off.
The upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown promises to be exciting as Tiffany Stratton has to explain her actions to Nia Jax. Fans wonder whether this will lead to the end of their friendship, with Stratton cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on Jax.
