Tiffany Stratton is still walking out with gold, but her latest defense of the WWE Women’s Championship was anything but smooth. The main event of the September 26 episode of SmackDown saw the undefeated champion take on two powerhouse challengers in Jade Cargill and Nia Jax. What should have been a statement-making victory instead turned into one of the strangest finishes the women’s division has seen in months.
Tiffany Stratton Shines as WWE’s Undefeated Women’s Champion
The story heading into the triple threat was already high stakes. Stratton remains the only undefeated superstar on either Raw or SmackDown in 2025, a streak that seemed in jeopardy against two of WWE’s most imposing athletes. Late in the match, it appeared Stratton’s run was about to end when Cargill connected with her devastating Jaded finisher. Before the referee’s hand could hit the mat for the third time, Jax stormed in to break up the pin.
Frustration boiled over as Cargill, bloodied after an earlier exchange, unleashed her fury on Jax, slamming her onto the steel steps with a punishing Samoan drop. She followed it up with her Eye of the Storm inside the ring, looking for the decisive victory. That is when Stratton swooped back in, breaking up the cover with a sharp dropkick and attempting to steal the pin for herself.
The drama escalated when the referee appeared to count a two even though Jax never kicked out, leaving all three competitors visibly confused as the audience rained down boos. In the scramble to salvage the moment, Stratton regrouped and hit her spectacular Prettiest Moonsault Ever on Jax to secure the official pinfall. It was an ending that left fans buzzing for all the wrong reasons, but the result was clear: Tiffany Stratton is still champion.
For all the awkwardness of the finish, Stratton once again proved why WWE sees her as one of its brightest stars. Her crisp athleticism, undeniable charisma, and commanding presence have already made her a standout, and Friday night was another reminder that the company is firmly behind her push. The platinum blonde champion looked every bit the part, radiating confidence and beauty as she posed with her title after the match.
The focus now shifts to Stratton’s next major defense. On October 11 in Australia, she will put both her title and her undefeated streak on the line against Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a clash to crown the undisputed Women’s Crown Jewel Champion. With the spotlight shining brighter than ever, Tiffany Stratton will look to prove that Friday’s bizarre finish was just a hiccup in what has otherwise been a flawless ascent to the top.
