She should at least be on freaking TV.

She's going to be in a minor holding pattern until SummerSlam regardless even after winning MiTB. Stratton's not going to intervene in the Raw Women's program and far as Smackdown is concerned earliest prospective cash-in would be first week of August. But *yes*. I think she will be fine. That ladder match will rock. Please just let somebody catch Tiffany this time. Zoey looked like she tried the most on that spot. But why the f*** would you plan out that spot, and have the 3 smallest women in the match try to catch Tiffany? Every single time you see that in a match, they're either landing on somebody laying down (so their back doesn't slam on the ground), into a big crowd of people, or into a couple of people bigger than them.

I saw Tiffy on WWE Wrestlemania Backlash this year. I think that's the show I was watching. She's my new favorite womans wrestler.

I wouldn't be worried. Right now she's probably in a "Be f***ing smarter on social media" punishment from the company. A small timeout before she wins Money in the Bank. I still can't stress how poor her having her QOTR R1 match buried on a house show was for her stock and perceived importance - LA Knight got a literal 100+ post separate thread on another wrestling forum saying how 'disgusting' his treatment had been as a direct result of his match being cut from TV, and especially with both losing the follow up TV match, it likely did both more harm than good them being involved in the tournament at all, and that was 4 days before that IG incident. Hopefully she does win MITB and she gets back to having a decent push and regular TV time, but at the moment, she doesn't feel anything like as special as she did a few months ago.

I think it was because with how the match was laid out neither Gigi or Indi could be involved in that spot since Gigi was taken out by the Jacy interference spot that proceeded it and then Indi was going to win with the Dexter spot afterwards since then she would be the only woman who hadn't been wiped out. Also while bigger those two also can be pretty clumsy so I don't know if I would've trusted them with catching Tiffany either. And then after them you are left with Roxanne and Lyra who are both too small. So factoring in what was planned for the match and the participants involved that's a spot that shouldn't have happened to begin with.

This is just par for course for Smackdown unfortunately. If you aren't the champion or the top contender they aren't going to have time for you. It's not like NXT where they find something for everybody or Raw where they HAVE to utilize most of the roster due to the extra TV time they have to fill.
As for Tiffany considering how talented she is and how young she is I don't think there's anything to worry about. With that said I think the handling of her has been pretty poor. I think she definitely should've won QOTR instead of Nia. I mean is there really anyone clamoring for a Bayley and Nia feud? It wasn't interesting when they feuded in 2016 or whatever it was and it definitely isn't nearly a decade later. I get that the social media flub and holding off for MITB are possibilities but honestly I think MITB sucks as a concept and really just needs to be done away with. It's just going to the same stupid thing they always do where she cashes in on hurt champion and gets a tainted win where it won't do anything to help her.

She should at least be on freaking TV. Definitely. I'd expect her to always be on 3 shows out of 4, missing the odd one here and there, but it's kind of the opposite at the moment. She was off completely on May 10th, off completely yesterday, and then got 4 literal seconds last week in a pointless interaction that added nothing, especially as she lost to the 'injured' person she called a loser the week before

I'd definitely take it over not winning as it would result in more TV time and direction, and also be a big moment for her lifting the briefcase off the hook on a PLE, but I could possibly see her being the first female MITB winner to unsuccessfully cash in now. There's been 7 successful cash ins to date, so it definitely does feel like an unsuccessful one is due, Chelsea would have been the obvious candidate for that, but now that Tiffany is losing more than she's winning, and not really being portrayed as someone who needs protecting, I could certainly see it. It might give her a story and add a ruthlessness to her character, plus buy more time for those who don't think she's ready for a world title, and still allow them to sell lots of briefcase merch while she's holding it.

She faced Bayley on a house show last night. Obviously the comments / quotes / likes ratio would suggest most don't agree with the posters statement, but I guess it comes down to if she's a favourite of yours or not. If she's not then it will be the 'she's only just got here', 'she'll be fine', 'they can't all be pushed at the same time, 'she has to pay her dues', 'her time will come' etc. (while probably really thinking, please don't rocket strap her at the expense of my faves...), but if she is, then you might be questioning why the sudden levelling off after giving her 4th place at the Rumble and her subsequently looking like an absolute megastar and one of the hottest properties in the entire division coming out of Perth. It's good that she's on house shows now, and probably a good sign that she's in with the champion, and live show results obviously don't matter as only a couple of thousand at the arena and a few thousand more online will actually see the result, and I wouldn't have necessarily been using this as a reason to vent (there's plenty of others though... ), but it does kind of feel like 4 or 5 weeks ago she might have been pinned by a surprise roll up here, or had Nia come out to cause a no DQ, or set up some multi person match, whereas now, it feels like she doesn't need the protection and she's sifted to that mid card territory where she will miss every other show, lose more than she wins, and have to wait patiently before she gets anything good again.

The other one is waiting for her stripes as World Champ while the latter embracizes it like no other girl in the world. ✨️ Best of luck to both of them!!!

I know I'm being nitpicky but why didn't she tear that sign up instead of handing it back to the fan? She's a bloody heel and shouldn't be acknowledging the fans!

I guess I shouldn’t tell you that at this Live Event or the one the following day, Dakota and Kairi were also autographing the ringside fans’ signs post-match.......

So another week of barely being on TV - I make it 8 of the past 13 Smackdown's where she's either not been on at all (4), or had less than 20 seconds TV time. There was at least some potential direction here in her mini cameo, although that direction is possibly moving her away from what many hoped / expected and the MITB briefcase.
I guess we'll know more in 4 weeks, but as it stands, do you think that IG post is affecting her current / recent booking?

Another 10 second cameo or whatever.
Give her something of substance to do dammit!

Yeah, I was pleased when Jade and Bianca were originally paired up prior to Backlash and Tiffy was having her title shot and looking to be well and truly in the main event scene. I was like keep them together as long as possible, away from the main title picture, and Tiffy could win the title at either Summerslam or Berlin, with or without the briefcase, but it's definitely looking like her push has been put on the back burner. She may well win the tag titles post Summerslam, but while the tag titles might feel a bit more important at the moment, and potentially dethroning Bianca/Jade would mean something, it's obviously not the same as being a consistent singles division threat. Starting to see more noise online for Naomi or Chelsea winning MITB now, and while she clearly shouldn't have won both, she is feeling a million miles away from that Sam Roberts proposing she wins both, immediately after Backlash (1:00:45).
