Major title reign ends after 153 days on this week's WWE SmackDown, Triple H issues statement

Triple H has shared his customary picture with the new champion after a shocking title change went down on this week's episode of WWE SmackDown. Tiffany Stratton was crowned the new WWE Women's Champion on the blue brand.

Nia Jax defended the women's title against Naomi on SmackDown, thanks to outside interference from her allies Candice LeRae and Stratton, who helped Jax retain her gold. However, what went down following this left the fans stunned. Tiffany Stratton, who has held the Women's MITB briefcase for months, finally betrayed Nia Jax and cashed it in to become the new WWE Women's Champion.

Since then, several reactions have been pouring in from the WWE universe and Stratton's peers. Now, Triple H, WWE's Chief Content Officer, himself has shared a heartfelt message for her on his social media platforms. The Game posted a picture with Stratton from backstage and lauded her efforts on SmackDown.

"Fortune favors the bold, and tonight @tiffstrattonwwe was as bold as you can be. Congratulations to the NEW WWE Women’s Champion," Triple H wrote.
