Wrestling veteran explains "red-hot finish" as Tiffany Stratton wins major matchup on SmackDown's 3-hour debut (Exclusive)

WWE star Tiffany Stratton lit up the three-hour debut of SmackDown as she became the new WWE Women's Champion. The self-proclaimed "Center of the Universe" cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Nia Jax.

Jax and Naomi had a grueling match for the women's title. In the final moments, Stratton appeared to cash in her Money in the Bank contract but faked it and attacked Naomi, helping Nia win. Soon, Bianca Belair came down and hit a KOD on Nia. Tiffany used this opportunity to turn on Jax and hit the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.

After this week's SmackDown, Sportskeeda Senior Editor Bill Apter was elated with the finish. The veteran journalist highlighted Tiffany Stratton and Liv Morgan as dominant figures in WWE’s women’s division.

He congratulated Stratton and pointed out she was already earmarked for a stellar 2025 by Sportskeeda.

"Red-hot finish with 'Tiffy Time' winning the WWE Women's Title from the monster Nia Jax. Now, two super blondes rule the WWE women's division! Tiffy and Liv! Congratulations to Tiffy, who our team of wrestling editors at Sportskeeda picked as 'The one to watch in 2025!'" Apter said.

With this win, Tiffany Stratton joins a list of glorious women who have successfully cashed in the Money in the Bank contract.

It will be interesting to see how WWE books her title run in the months before WrestleMania 41.
