Nia Jax entered the historic three-hour episode of WWE SmackDown as the Women’s Champion, defending her title against Naomi in a high-stakes bout. The match was an intense back-and-forth, with Naomi coming close to victory multiple times. Despite being locked in a body scissors submission and enduring Naomi’s relentless offense, Jax’s power and resilience kept her in the fight.
The drama escalated when Tiffany Stratton, Miss Money in the Bank, made her presence felt. Teasing a cash-in after Nia Jax appeared vulnerable, Stratton stunned the crowd by attacking Naomi with the briefcase, ensuring Jax retained her title. However, the celebration was short-lived.
Moments later, Bianca Belair delivered a devastating KOD to Jax, leaving her incapacitated. Seizing the opportunity, Stratton officially cashed in her Money in the Bank contract. With Nia defenseless, Tiffany quickly secured the pin, becoming the new WWE Women’s Champion.
The shocking betrayal marked the culmination of Stratton’s long-teased loyalty to Jax, proving that alliances in WWE can shift instantly. Stratton’s cash-in not only solidified her as a champion but also highlighted the unpredictable nature of the Money in the Bank contract, which once again changed her career trajectory.
