WWE
Fatal Influence were on top of the world just two weeks ago, with Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid holding the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles and Jacy Jayne was heading into her first Money in the Bank ladder match.
Now, heading towards the October 23 episode of SmackDown, Henley & Reid are without their Women’s Tag Team Titles after dropping the belts to Tatum Paxley & Alexa Bliss and Jacy Jayne is without the women’s Money in the Bank briefcase, having lost out on that opportunity to Tiffany Stratton.
Thankfully Jayne can still call herself the Women’s United States Champion, but with plenty of potential contenders for the title, it may be a matter of time before Fatal Influence loses their last piece of gold.
Here are three WWE stars that could become the next Women’s United States Champion after Jacy Jayne:
Giulia
Giulia is one of two WWE stars to have held the Women’s United States Championship twice, with her last reign being ended back in April by Tiffany Stratton. Since that loss Giulia has turned babyface – a role she seems more comfortable in, but one that has brought with it a feud with SmackDown’s newest female heel star: Blake Monroe.
Monroe and Giulia will face off in a Street Fight this Friday on SmackDown, a match that could potentially go a long way in determining who is next in line for a shot at a singles championship on the blue brand.
“The Glamour” will be the favorite to make it back-to-back wins over “The Beautiful Madness” but it is probably Giulia who needs the win more at this point. After failing to qualify for the WWE Women’s Title ladder match at SummerSlam AND Money in the Bank over the past few months, Giulia needs a big win and could greatly benefit from another reign as Women’s US Champ.
Paige
Jacy Jayne’s only Women’s United States Title defense came back on the August 24 episode of SmackDown, when she defeated Paige. This loss was very much due to outside interference however, as she struggled to stay on top of the numbers that Fatal Influence possess.
While Paige has also had to deal with Nikki Bella getting in her business, her win over the WWE Hall of Famer last week may mean she can finally look forward toward another potential title opportunity against Jayne.
As long as Paige can find some backup to combat potential interference, or a stipulation that ensures nobody can get involved, she may have a decent chance at winning her first WWE singles championship in 12 years.
Jordynne Grace

Jordynne Grace was called up from WWE NXT to SmackDown in January 2026
Jordynne Grace previously came close the Women’s United States Title back in April where she competed in, but ultimately lost, a number one contenders match against Tiffany Stratton.
In the six months following that match, Stratton went on to hold the US Title for 112 days and more recently has become Ms. Money in the Bank for the second time, where as Grace has yet to wrestle on SmackDown since.
While there have been reports that Grace could be paired up with Ivy Nile in a new tag team, it’s unclear whether WWE will be going ahead with that or not. If those plans are indeed scrapped then we could see “The Juggernaut” step up to Jacy Jayne as a new challenger for her US Title; an effective way to establish her as a future main event star once again.
