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.
I seem to remember a report somehow that claimed Tiffany was gonna face Blair Davenport in a qualifier on Friday?

I appreciate that they’re making an investment in King and Queen of the Ring by having upper card and main event level participants, but winning it is ultimately meaningless and a sudden gimmick change to make believe royalty has almost never worked in WWE.

Saw that on Twitter along with Nia vs Piper, and a Candice vs Naomi/Chelsea, and Indi vs the other, but think it was fake. It may well be a legit leak, but I don't think it's official.

If that's true than I don't recall ever seeing Davenport v Stratton before so it'd be a fresh match at least.

Well Tiffany is extremely unlikely to win QOTR.
Bianca vs Candice Jade vs Piper Naomi vs Nia
All announced for Smackdown tomorrow. There is one spot left, and if it's Tiff then it will likely be at a house show like Rey vs Kofi and Shayna vs Zelina and all of those will be among the least favourites to win the tournament, and if you can't get on TV then you're not exactly a contender.
Interesting to see how it plays out. I hope she's not the house show match, and she'll presumably get involved in one of the matches, like maybe Nia vs Naomi and align with Nia, or possibly cost Jade or (more likely) Bianca to set up a tag feud or something, but I'm pretty shocked that Jade and Bianca are in, and Tiffany has seemingly been snubbed, at least in terms of being on TV.

I'm baffled why Bianca and Jade are in it to begin with. Neither of them should be in it, as they are the goddamn tag champs. And I can't see Jade losing straight away either, so she's the most likely person to win the entire tournament. Which would f***ing suck because Jade is still really not good at all, and doesn't need all of these accolades piled onto her immediately.

Yeah, I thought they would have been having a title defense at the PLE, I guess they still might, vs Nia and Tiff, but shocked they would be included in the first place.
I guess Tiffany might get a title shot somewhere vs Bayley one on one with the excuse that she didn't get pinned the other day, but that would be a mistake as well IMO.
I am at least intrigued to see how this plays out, as I certainly wasn't expecting those 3 matches to be announced.
The fact I think she’s above both already is a testament to how good she’s been in ring and in character.
Personally I would choose QOTR because MITB is a tired concept at this point. As long as she gets a serious push after, which most recent KOTR haven’t really. Even Zelina’s win I don’t think did much for her at all.

She's certainly not above QotR if she's in the tournament but can't even get her R1 match on TV. It would come across that she's clearly not as important as some of the others at the top end of the SDown women's roster, and it would be bizarre having her potentially win it, yet nobody gets to see her opening match.
It's interesting to see how they go with it. Will she complain she's not in it, like Bron, and then interfere in a match or two, will she get another title shot vs Bayley instead, or will she be relegated to a house show and feel an afterthought to the Jade and Bianca show?
