To push Tiffany further on the main roster...

[agent817]

So I had thought of this recently. With Tiffany Stratton now on the main roster, I see getting pushed, maybe winning one of the women's titles at some point. However, I wondered about which she should win along the way. The Royal Rumble is still a ways away. Initially, I had thought that maybe she should win Money in the Bank. I could imagine the briefcase being painted pink and her carrying it before she would cash it in, whether it's in the typical way of starting an impromptu match or setting up a match in advance.

It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I found out about the Queen of the Ring tournament. I could imagine if she won that, maybe has a queen gimmick for a bit. Unless someone else should win.

What do you think?

[john84]

It's a close one for me as ''Queen of the Ring'' would be perfect for her character, however I went with MitB as I think there's more fun atm in having her teasing cash-ins before finally cashing it in.

[asuka007]

Queen of the Ring probably would fit her character better.

[PHD-FENDERBAUM]

Honestly IMO she should not be getting a title reign this year it is far too soon for her.

MITB would be ideal for her because it tells the audience that at some point over the next year it will be her time and gives the audience something to look forward to with her.

As far as Queen of the ring IMO that needs to go to IYO because they have given the woman nothing since Mania even after that performance she put on.

I would give her a pink assault rifle

[Jindrak Mark]

I think I'd have her win QOTR. I'd also be in favor of them doing the winner of the tournament also gets a world title shot at Summerslam stip that they had in 2002. I like the idea of KOTR basically being to Summerslam what Rumble is to Mania.

I think MITB is better suited to for lack of a better term "secondary main eventers". Guys/girls who might be expected to be upper midcard/occasional main eventer going forward. For people with the potential to be absolute tippy top stars though I'd rather their first world title win was a proper match and not the 30 second MITB cash-in thing after the champion is tired/injured from a match.

I agree about Tiffany. As for Queen of the Ring, I wouldn't complain about Iyo winning it since as you know I dig crazy chicks like her lol.

I don't think she needs either of them. She's good enough both in ring and with her character that she can organically just move her way into the top. I'm not worried about her losing momentum. WWE has been trying to make her since forever. Alexa, Mandy, Carmella...Tiffy is finally the full package of Vince's dream of the blonde rich mean girl.

She would be great with either gimmick, but other people could probably use it more.

Queen of the Ring doesn't mean much. Best case scenario you get someone that can do a comedy royalty gimmick really well.
MiTB is primarily a tool to get the belt off Charlotte. Winning MitB is WWE's way of saying, "We don't believe in you enough to give you a clean win over one of our 3 chosen favorites".

Nah she’s really good and she’s over with crowds. Sometimes you just have to strike while the iron is hot.

[mistery]

You give Queen of the Ring to Iyo, and MITB to Tiffany.

Tiffany isn't an honorable heel, to say the least, so her cashing in on a weakened champ would be fully expected, and perfectly in character. Meanwhile Iyo needs something big, real quickly because she's been heavily deemphasized since Mania. Otherwise she runs the real risk of falling down the card pretty far. And giving her the Queen of the Ring title at least gives her SOMETHING before she's inevitably fed to Becky and/or Liv. And she isn't winning MITB again this year regardless of if she wins QOTR or not.

And no, it's not too early to get mad about it, because I remember people here swearing up and down that Iyo would be fine after Mania and continue to be just as big of a deal as she was with the title, but welp she's been on TV like once since then, hasn't wrestled any TV matches, among other things. The real kicker is that this is her last full year under WWE contract (her contract is apparently up in very early 2025), and WWE is yanking her around like this. One of the reasons she was unhappy in NXT at the end there was because she didn't get any real storylines to sink her teeth into and wrestle regularly on TV because she was being yanked around. WWE is repeating that same mistake right now.

[Saiyanic Panic]

Queen/King of the Ring is the Stone of Triumph of WWE.

There's more character "pie in the sky" stuff they can do with the crown over MitB maybe and her being Queen might lead to interplay with Charlotte but I'd be really wary.

And KAIRI's is up the following year...assuming she is only on a 3yr l

And with MariGold now in play knowing they can go back to Japan and basically work for solely Rossy again and really be the grass roots for the company both talent and even in business roles to grow it ..maybe even have him pass it on when he steps down from wanting to do the day to day stuff because Fumi has said this is Rossy's last big venture.

It makes this next year or two VERY interesting as far as they go.

[centeroftheuniverse]

It's a good question. I was sure she would win one, but it might be getting to the stage now where she doesn't actually need either. I'd prefer MITB out of the two. QotR would only be good if it set up a potential Tiffany vs Charlotte 'Queen' vs 'Queen' match if Charlotte was close to returning, as it could be a good moment for her to interrupt Tiffany's Queen promo speech, and them have a non title 3 match feud for a couple of months (although many want that match at Mania). With only 5 or so matches on PLEs these days, and Bianca/Jade appearing on pretty much every poster, there will likely just be one additional women's matches going forward, so appearances would be few and far between, so I'd rather Tiffany appeared at Clash or MITB where she could dress how she liked and get good reactions, rather than one of her select appearances being restricted to Saudi.

But with her popular with the crowds, impressive in the ring, improving all the time, and now, can seemingly shift merch, she may not need MITB and she could probably get a one vs one with Bayley down the line with her not being pinned in the triple threat the other day. That said, I'd still like her to win MITB, so that it keeps her relevant at the top of the card mixing with the champs, prolong her heel run, could appear on either show, give her more promo opportunities, and it would also take the briefcase out of the equation for others (if she were to win the title soon without it ).

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

Honestly I feel like either is probably too soon. Probably didn’t expect that did you!

If I had to go with one I’d go MITB though. I’m a sucker for changing the briefcase into a prop that fits the character. Give her the most blingeefied lisa frank pink ass purse as the new briefcase.

[Nosnorb]

Why is there no option to download a car?

[floundertime]

My initial reaction was MITB but after the comments I saw I changed to QOTR. It fits her character perfectly and also keeps her character hot while not in the title picture. QOTR it is!

Okay, is Tiffany going to have a first round qualifying match on Friday?

The women's brackets on the Smackdown side haven't been announced yet for some reason. I thought they might have been released on the Bump today (if there was an episode), but still nothing confirmed. I'd imagine she'd be involved as she has been briefly featured in the commercials, but suspect we'll just found out the matches during the day on WWE socials on Friday now. There probably will be one or two qualifying matches on house shows, like we saw on RAW, to save time, but I doubt this would involve Tiffany if she being portrayed as a legit threat to win it.
