Match changed for WWE NXT Homecoming
Tiffany Stratton is not medically cleared.
In a social media post shortly before Raw on Monday, NXT GM Ava announced that Stratton would be unable to compete. Instead, former NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria will team with Stephanie Vaquer and Rhea Ripley to take on Fatal Influence.
“After her WWE Women’s Championship Match on SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton is not medically cleared to compete at Homecoming. As a result, former NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria will be taking her place in the six-woman tag team match against Fatal Influence,” she wrote.
Stratton defended the WWE Women’s title against Jade Cargill, a match that ended in a double countout after both women went through a barricade. Nia Jax assaulted Stratton further after the match, laying her out with the Annihilator.
Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence were arguing in the ring last Tuesday when former NXT Women’s Champions Stratton, Vaquer, and Ripley made a surprise appearance. The show ended with the former NXT stars taking out the current crop of talent, leaving the veterans standing to close out the show.
