Tiffany Stratton Not Medically Cleared To Compete At NXT Homecoming, Lyra Valkyria Replaces Her

Tiffany Stratton is not medically cleared to compete at WWE NXT Homecoming on September 16th.
NXT general manager Ava announced that Stratton was not medically cleared following her WWE Women’s Championship bout against Jade Cargill on WWE SmackDown, which ended in a double countout and Nia Jax hitting the annihilator on Stratton.
Stratton was set to team with Rhea Ripley & Stephanie Vaquer against Fatal Influence (Jazmyn Nyx, Fallon Henley, & Jacy Jayne). She will be replaced by Lyra Valkyrie.
“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,” wrote Ava.
