Naomi, Tiffany Stratton join WWE SmackDown roster

Naomi and Tiffany Stratton have officially joined the WWE SmackDown roster. 

Both Naomi and Stratton were announced as signing with the SmackDown brand in a backstage segment on Friday's episode. WWE also confirmed on social media that Elektra Lopez has also joined the brand after her debut with Legado Del Fantasma on last week's episode.

Stratton later made her SmackDown in-ring debut on Friday's episode with a win over Michin. 

Naomi returned to WWE at Royal Rumble after walking out of the company due to creative differences in May 2022. Stratton also appeared in the women's Rumble match last Saturday. 

Another entrant in this year's women's Rumble also made an appearance on SmackDown -- Jade Cargill. 

Cargill was shown negotiating with SmackDown GM Nick Aldis in a backstage segment on Friday's show that also featured Raw GM Adam Pearce. Cargill made her WWE in-ring debut in the women's Royal Rumble match. 

NXT's Bron Breakker was also featured in a different backstage segment with Aldis and Pearce, with each GM vying to sign Breakker to their brand. Pearce was successful in convincing Breakker to appear on Raw Monday to negotiate further before signing a contract that Aldis had presented him.
