As previously reported, former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton has been absent from programming for quite some time. David Scherer noted that this absence was initially part of a storyline, where returning former champions tend to receive a bigger reaction from fans after long breaks. Scherer mentioned that this is a common approach associated with Paul "Triple H" Levesque, as returning talents often get the best crowd responses after recovering from injuries.
However, the situation appears to be different now. According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Stratton is currently out of in-ring action due to an injury. The report states that there is no additional information available regarding the nature of the injury or when it occurred. It is worth mentioning that Stratton entered her match against Jade Cargill with a pre-existing knee injury as part of an angle.
