• Another New Champion Expected To Be Crowned On Saturday Night’s Main Event
Along with a new World Heavyweight Champion, it looks like another new champion will be crowned on Saturday Night’s Main Event.
WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton defeated Kiana James on SmackDown last night. After the match, Kiana and Women’s United States Champion Giulia attacked The Buff Barbie.
Jade Cargill then came out to make the save, but suddenly turned heel and brutally attacked Stratton. Officials had to step in to stop the assault, and before heading backstage, Cargill targeted the WWE Women’s Champion’s knee with a stiff kick.
Stratton was seen holding her knee in pain after the attack. WWE provided an update on Stratton’s status via X and revealed that she is getting her knee evaluated after Cargill’s attack.
“BREAKING NEWS: @tiffstrattonwwe is getting her knee evaluated, but reports are that Tiffany Stratton is adamant about going through with the match on #SNME. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.”
Tiffany Stratton is scheduled to defend the WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.
This update from WWE began speculation that Cargill will defeat Stratton to finally become Women’s Champion and WWE will protect Stratton after the loss due to the injury angle.
• WWE Higher-Ups “Very Unhappy” About AI Plans Leaking
WWE has started the process of integrating artificial intelligence into its operations. The company recently hired Cyrus Kowsari as Senior Director of Creative Strategy to explore how AI can be used in creative and production areas.
According to the Wrestling Observer, despite management’s assurances that no employees will be replaced, there is still unease among people within the company. Some fear that even if AI only reduces the need for entry-level writing positions, it could still mean fewer opportunities for new writers to be trained.
This concern has been amplified by a lack of trust within the company, as many staff members still feel misled over how WWE handled Seth Rollins’ fake injury storyline earlier this year.
It was also noted that several higher-ups were very unhappy about how news of the company’s AI testing was leaked, as it created unnecessary panic and speculation about job security.
As of now, AI is expected to be used only as a writer’s assistant, with plans to gradually expand its role into creative, video, graphics and storytelling departments.
WWE used AI to produce the segment of Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero on this week’s NXT.
