The Queen’s Friendship Fails To Help Tiffany Stratton; Chelsea Green
Friday Night SmackDown made its way to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at the Rogers Place arena for quite a notable episode. For starters, Bash in Berlin is in the rear view mirror as SmackDown’s own Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill recaptured the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

Tiffany would never lie to Nia!

Stratton would start taking control, unleashing a series of strikes targeting different areas of Bayley’s body. Nia made her way out to watch the match, distracting both competitors and leading to an unsuccessful Bayley-to-Belly attempt. Jax’s attempts to give her bestie a pep talk would result in her being the victim…
