Backstage Update On WWE’s Plans For Tiffany Stratton, Giulia At WrestleMania 42 (WWE News)
Bodyslam It is reported that Tiffany Stratton will problem Giulia for the Women’s United States Title come WrestleMania 42 weekend subsequent month. It’s believed that plans began signing up on that match in February, which got here shortly after Stratton’s return at the 2026 Royal Rumble event over in Saudi Arabia.
Tiffany was concerned within the ladies’s (*42*) Chamber match too, however Rhea Ripley acquired the nod to win that one and can now wrestle Jade Cargill for the mainline Women’s Title at ‘Mania in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, ‘Tiffy Time’ will take the struggle to Giulia and her affiliate Kiana James.
This might nicely be promising for Stratton. Her personal Women’s Title reign fell off a cliff creatively in 2025 after a sizzling begin, so she’ll be searching for methods to re-establish herself on SmackDown going forwards; WWE did not appear to have a lot for Tiffany as soon as her feud with Charlotte Flair ended eventually 12 months’s WrestleMania, then she dropped the strap to Jade in November at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Are brighter days forward once more for the previous NXT standout? Her followers will probably be banking on it.
On paper, Stratton beating Giulia then dominating the midcard scene on Friday nights seems like a good suggestion. Someone like Tiffy must also elevate the often-overlooked Women’s US Title. That belt has felt slightly lackluster because the firm launched it in late-2024, so Stratton’s reign could possibly be simply the tonic.
Giulia’s Main Roster Woes Starting To Subside, But…
It’s true that Giulia skilled a brutal begin to life on WWE’s main roster. She struggled to recover from as a babyface throughout her first Women’s United States Title stint, and hasn’t fared a lot higher since turning heel. However, aligning with Kiana has been good for the once-celebrated employee.
Together, they have been a shock package deal on SmackDown, they usually’ve been helpful each individually and within the ladies’s tag-team division. The cherry on prime is that James has grown as a performer alongside Giulia, so one thing constructive has already come out of their union.
All indicators recommend that Giulia’s principal roster black cloud is starting to elevate, nevertheless it’d nonetheless be a large shocker if she was booked to retain in opposition to Tiffany Stratton come ‘Mania 42. That match, assuming it’s Triple H’s reserving plan, has title change written throughout it.
Back to the drafting board for Giulia, but at least she’s in a better position than she was last year.
