Ever since Tiffany Stratton misspoke in a promo claiming she’ll be a better NXT women’s champion than Becky Lynch, who has never held that title, WWE has been teasing out the two wrestling a match at some point in the near future. The only issue with that was the fact that Stratton was booked for a title defense on this week’s episode of NXT against Kiana James, who won a Fatal 4-Way to become top contender.
Well, James got some offense in and they did a solid near fall spot, but Stratton poked the eyes and then hit the Prettiest Moonsault ever to score the pinfall and the victory. It was a strong win for the champion, which made sense with what happened next.
Lynch showed up on the tron.
