After months of anticipation, Tiffany Stratton finally made her move. Her strategic cash-in not only shocked the audience but also solidified her reputation as a cunning competitor. This victory is her first major championship since moving to SmackDown in February 2024.

How Tiffany Stratton Outsmarted Nia Jax

The road to the WWE Women’s Championship was far from straightforward. During a match between Nia Jax and Naomi, Stratton appeared mid-match, teasing a cash-in. However, it was all a calculated ploy. Using her Money in the Bank briefcase, she struck Naomi while the referee was distracted by Candice LeRae, ensuring Jax retained her title.

Stratton celebrated with Jax post-match, further misleading everyone into believing their friendship was intact. However, chaos erupted when Jax and Bianca Belair engaged in a brawl. Just as Jax was about to finish Belair, Tiffany Stratton struck her “friend” from behind with the briefcase.

With Nia Jax incapacitated, Stratton seized the opportunity. After delivering her signature Prettiest Moonsault Ever, she pinned Jax to secure the WWE Women’s Championship, earning thunderous applause from the Footprint Center crowd.

The Rise of Tiffany Stratton

This victory caps off an incredible journey for Tiffany Stratton, whose 2024 was highlighted by winning the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match in July. Her alliance with Nia Jax had been deteriorating for months, making this betrayal inevitable.

As Michael Cole put it, “Nia Jax’s Judas finally betrayed her!” This statement underscores the dramatic conclusion of Stratton’s calculated rise to the top.
