Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s Championship at Main Event of Friday Night SmackDown

Get to know all about WWE Women's Championship match on SmackDown.

Nia Jax won the #1 contender match last week by defeating Jade Cargill with help from Naomi’s interruption. She has had a long history with WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton. Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money In The Bank contract on Nia Jax to become the WWE Women’s Champion and has been defending it successfully ever since.

Tiffany has successfully defended her title against the likes of Jade Cargill, Nia Jax, and many other divas of the women’s roster. She was part of a WrestleMania match against Queen Charlotte, where she defended her title successfully. She was so good during the match that even Charlotte appreciated her efforts after the match.

Tiffany Stratton Successfully Defended her Title Again, This Time Against Nia Jax

Tiffany Stratton had to go through a lot of brutality to defend her title against the Irresistible Force, Nia Jax. Nia Jax dominated the match, and Tiffany kept coming back just like she did against Charlotte Flair. The WWE Champion possesses the ability to kick out of the most brutal moves. Nia Jax too kicked out of the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, a move no one ever kicked out of, according to the commentators.

Naomi entered the ring with a steel chair and tried to interrupt, but Jade Cargill neutralized her threat. Nia Jax delivered an Annihilator, but Tiffany was able to get hold of the rope. Nia threw tantrums and tried leaving with the championship belt to distract the referee. She tried to use the chair Naomi brought, but it backfired. Tiffany delivered a drop kick, and the chair hit Nia Jax on her face.

IT'S ON SIGHT!
