Tiffany Stratton captured her first-ever world title in WWE at the age of 25. Maxxine Dupri recently shared her thoughts on The Buff Barbie becoming the Women's Champion last week on SmackDown.
Nia Jax faced Naomi for the gold on the January 3, 2025, edition of the blue show. The Irresistible Force successfully retained her title after Tiffany Stratton interfered, striking The Glow with her Money in the Bank briefcase.
Later, Jax, Stratton, and Candice LeRae celebrated in the ring, while Bianca Belair tended to her tag partner, Naomi. Soon chaos erupted, which led to The Center of the Universe attacking her now-former ally with her MITB briefcase before taking out The Poison Pixie.

In an interview with the Lightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpis, Maxxine Dupri acknowledged the impact of Tiffany Stratton's Money in the Bank cash-in. The Alpha Academy member noted that while the timing of the cash-in itself was not surprising, the execution on SmackDown made it a memorable moment for fans.
"It's not that I was shocked of the timing, it's just shocking in general because we've been so much waiting for this moment and so to have it happen I think was honestly brilliant. I think if she [Tiffany Stratton] would have waited to cash in, maybe we would have been expecting it more. I think she kept everyone on their toes with her timing and it could not have been more perfect," Dupri said. [From 12:04 to 12:25]

Tiffany Stratton said:
"I felt, like, through the whole process whenever I was out there I felt like I was just on autopilot. And then when I hit my moonsault finally, I really could relish in that moment and I felt that's when everything hit me. All my hard work in the past three years and standing on that table and holding the title; it felt so amazing!"
Fans will have to wait and see whether The Irresistible Force will demand a WWE title shot against The Buff Barbie after the betrayal.
