PHOENIX, ARIZONA – JANUARY 3: Nia Jax in action against Naomi during Friday Night Smackdown at … [+]
Getty ImagesThere is a new WWE Women’s World Champion, and it’s Tiffany Stratton. Ms. Money in the Bank finally graduated, and it was really well orchestrated.
After Nia Jax defeated Naomi in an awesome match—thanks to Stratton’s help—the latter turned on the champion and Candice LeRae, using Bianca Belair to get the drop on Jax.
Here is a look at the sequence.
After winning the women’s Money in the Bank match on July 6, Stratton had a number of teases, but on the first episode of SmackDown on USA, Tiffy struck.
Stratton, 25, became the fourth youngest female to ever win the Women’s Championship. While the crowd in Phoenix may not have been as electric as they were when Dolph Ziggler cashed in on Alberto Del Rio in April 2013, or when Seth Rollins cashed in on Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31 in 2015, from a pure storytelling and structural standpoint, Stratton’s cash-in was money.
It was definitely the best cash-in in women’s history.
The cash-in was so strong, it has given Stratton a powerful push into her title reign and set her up for multiple feuds.
Stratton tossed Bianca Belair, who may want revenge and her title back. Naomi got hit with the briefcase, and Nia was betrayed. Let’s not forget Jade Cargill, who will likely be in the championship picture when she returns.
