Updating reports on Jordynne Grace's ankle injury, WWE has locked in Giulia to defend the Women's United States Championship against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 42. The singles match, planned since February, follows the original triple threat's adjustment and highlights Stratton's return from injury.
BodySlam+ reports confirm WWE's plans for Giulia defending the Women's United States Championship against Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 42, a matchup discussed since February. This comes after Jordynne Grace's recent ankle injury scrapped the planned triple threat, as noted in prior coverage from the Self Made Sessions Podcast.
Tiffany Stratton has made a strong comeback following a months-long absence after losing the WWE Women's Championship to Jade Cargill. She was a finalist in the Women's Royal Rumble, eliminated by Liv Morgan, and competed in the Elimination Chamber match won by Rhea Ripley. Stratton had been out with a knee injury from October 2025.
Giulia, called up from NXT in May 2025, is in her second reign with the title, won from Chelsea Green in January 2026 on SmackDown. She defended it once against Alexa Bliss in Berlin and has recently teamed with Kiana James in the tag division. Fans are pushing for more main roster spotlight for the champion amid her WrestleMania booking.
