WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton was scheduled to compete in a 6-Woman Tag Team Match alongside "The Dark Angel" Stephanie Vaquer and "The Eradicator" Rhea Ripley against Fatal Influence, which consists of WWE NXT Women's Champion Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Jazmyn Nyx, during last night's NXT Homecoming special. However, she was pulled from the match because she was not medically cleared to wrestle.
According to Bryan Alvarez on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Stratton's injury likely occurred during a moonsault off the post in her WWE Women’s Championship defense against Jade Cargill on this past Friday's episode of SmackDown, where she hit her head on the ground. Alvarez noted that this incident happened just before the finish when both women were counted out. He also remarked that Nia Jax barely hit Stratton with the Annihilator after the match, indicating she was trying to protect her.
This is what Bryan Alvarez said, “The most likely spot was a moonsault off the post in the match, the championship match with Jade Cargill, where she smashed her head on the ground. And this was right before the finish and they both got counted out. You could see the referee was talking to [Stratton] and then Nia was scheduled to do a run-in and attack both of them, and if you watch it, man, she barely touched Tiffany.”
