Chelsea Green Cleared for Matches; Nia Jax Earns Title Shot
Nick Aldis called in Chelsea Green and a medical doctor for a check-up on her fitness to fight. The doctor concluded that Green could perform until the point that she started putting up a protective facial shield during her matches. Nia Jax and Lash Legend showed up and Jax was the one asking for a Women’s Championship match against Green; the matter was resolved and agreed upon being held on SmackDown.
The fight between Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton was a spontaneous event following their segment on camera. It took place at full throttle, and the fight eventually ended via Jax hitting an Annihilator followed by pinning Stratton and thereby getting the victory.
