The WWE women’s division may be getting a major boost this weekend as reports circulate that a former champion is ready to step back into the spotlight. Tiffany Stratton, who has been noticeably absent from television for the last quarter of the year, appears poised to make her return at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. If the reports are accurate, it officially signals the return of “Tiffy Time” on the road to WrestleMania.
According to a new report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, Stratton is currently in Saudi Arabia and is actively planned to participate in the 30-woman Royal Rumble match this Saturday. This development comes after months of silence regarding her status. Stratton has been out of action since the November 1, 2025, edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she lost the WWE Women’s Championship to Jade Cargill. Following that defeat, it was revealed that she was taking time off to heal from a legitimate injury, rather than simply taking a creative hiatus.
Now, three months later, she looks to be fully recovered and ready to reinsert herself into the title picture. If she does enter the match, it will mark only the second Royal Rumble appearance of her career. Despite her limited experience in the stipulation, Stratton’s rapid rise to the top of the card makes her an immediate threat to win. Her combination of athleticism and “Prettiest Moonsault Ever” is tailor-made for the chaotic environment of the Rumble, and a victory here would instantly redeem her loss to Cargill last November.
With 13 spots in the women’s match still technically unannounced as of the last television taping, Stratton’s return would be one of the marquee surprises Triple H teased earlier in the week. Fans will have to tune in to the event, streaming live on the ESPN App domestically and Netflix internationally, to see if the clock strikes “Tiffy Time” in the Kingdom.
