Teddy Long expects one major title change at Saturday Night’s Main Event (Exclusive)

Teddy Long Makes Huge Prediction for WWE Women’s Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event

Former SmackDown General Manager and WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently shared a major prediction ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event. He expects a significant title change to take place, specifically in the WWE Women’s Championship match between Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill.

On the final episode of *The Wrestling Time Machine*, hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long was asked about his thoughts on this highly anticipated bout. Praising Jade Cargill’s athleticism and potential, Long confidently predicted that she will dethrone Tiffany Stratton, ending Stratton’s dominant run throughout 2025.

> “She [Jade Cargill] is a phenomenal athlete, and I had the chance to work with her before she got to the top, before she even went to [WWE]. She was in the wrestling school there in Atlanta. I had the chance to talk to her. What a nice girl. She has a great look, and her skills in the ring have become absolutely great. I believe they’re going to run with her now. They already are pushing her. She’s had a few setbacks but I think if she’s over some of that other stuff she was involved with, I think it’s her time.”

Teddy Long Comments on SmackDown Botch Involving Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, and Nia Jax

The 26th September episode of SmackDown featured a Triple Threat match for the WWE Women’s Championship with Tiffany Stratton defending against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax. During the match, a sequence involving all three women led to a botched pinfall call, sparking discussions among fans and analysts.

The incident unfolded when Nia Jax shoved Jade Cargill into the steel steps, causing Cargill to bleed. Shortly after, Tiffany Stratton had Nia Jax pinned, but referee Aja Smith stopped the count at two—even though Jax did not attempt to kick out. This unusual stoppage led to speculation about what went wrong.

On a subsequent episode of *The Wrestling Time Machine*, Teddy Long addressed the confusion surrounding the pinfall. He did not place blame on anyone but suggested the referee’s inexperience and knowledge of the match finish may have contributed to the botch.

> “Well, she probably was new to the business. Her knowing the finish, golly, it’s gonna be hard to count somebody out. You know if you do, you’ve scr*wed up everything. So, like I said, you have to count to three if the person doesn’t kick out.”

Long also mentioned that Jade Cargill was likely supposed to break up the pinfall attempt, but since she was busted open and disoriented, she was unable to interfere, which further complicated the situation.
