Tiffany Stratton’s cash-in kicks off 2025 on WWE SmackDown

BBG News

2025 marked the debut of the extended three-hour version of WWE SmackDown. This inaugural episode aimed to make a grand statement to start the year, and it did so spectacularly when Tiffany Stratton cashed in on Nia Jax to claim the WWE Women’s Championship title. It was a skillfully executed moment that sets an intriguing stage for the evolution of the SmackDown women’s division in the future.

Stratton cleverly executed a swindle, building on earlier instances leading up to the event. Initially, it appeared Stratton was merely helping out Jax, but as things progressed, it set the stage for significant conflicts in the future.

It’s clear that Jax is planning to seek revenge following her lengthy title reign, and a series of strong bookings suggest she might go on a destructive path for several weeks ahead. The match between Stratton and Jax at the Royal Rumble in February 1 looks fitting as one of the key women’s bouts. During this period, Stratton is likely to encounter obstacles from Candice LeRae, who has been maneuvering herself into title contention.

Moreover, the January 3 event establishes potential rivalries for Stratton involving Naomi and Bianca Belair. Previously, she interfered in Naomi’s match against Jax, causing Naomi to lose. Later, she utilized Belair to execute a powerful KOD on Jax before removing Belair from the scene as well. An intriguing plotline is developing between Naomi and Belair regarding the unknown assailant of Jade Cargill. This situation offers opportunities for Stratton’s interactions with them, extending the anticipation for Cargill’s return. Regrettably, this also means the Women’s Tag Team titles are being held up, which seems to be a recurring issue in WWE’s title booking strategy.

From the instant Tiffany Stratton debuted on the main roster, it was clear she was bound for the WWE Women’s Championship. Despite some bumps in the road during post-cash-in title reigns, let’s cross our fingers that WWE starts to improve her storylines, making Stratton a formidable champion who strengthens and elevates the division in the future.
