Jade Cargill challenges Tiffany Stratton for Women’s U.S. title at Night of Champions

"

SmackDown last night (June 19) added a Cody Rhodes Triple Threat WWE title defense to next Saturday’s Night of Champions premium live event in Saudi Arabia. But Gunther and Sami Zayn’s shot at QB1 wasn’t the only championship match the blue brand added to June 27’s card. Based on how both wrestlers were booked on the latest blue show, the rumored SummerSlam showdown with Charlotte Flair could definitely still be in the works for Jade Cargill. First, she’ll challenge Women’s United States champ Tiffany Stratton at NoC. Jade issued the challenge with Michin and B-Fab flanking her, taking credit for Stratton being on the Night of Champions poster in the first place thanks to her injuring WWE Women’s champ Rhea Ripley. That Bitch (her words, not mine) reminding Stratton she took a belt from her at WrestleMania last year. .@Jade_Cargill is VERY CONFIDENT she can take @tiffstrattonwwe's Women's United States Title 👀 pic.twitter.com/OPWzbCannU — WWE (@WWE) June 20, 2026 Tiffy later granted Cargill the match, then questioned Cargill’s reliance on her lackeys before dealing with her own unwanted sidekick, the first-ever Women’s U.S. champ Chelsea Green.
