During tonight episode of WWE SmackDown, The WWE Women’s Championship was on the line in a triple threat match featuring reigning champion Tiffany Stratton defending against Jade Cargill and Nia Jax.
The match started off with Nia throws Tiffany into Jade, then slams Tiffany right on top of her. Jade tries a shoulder tackle on Nia, but it bounces right off. Nia answers with her own tackle that barely budges her. Tiffany hits a double dropkick, and Jade follows with a kick before driving Tiffany face-first into the mat.
Nia grabs Jade from the apron, but Tiffany shoves Nia into the ringside barrier. Tiffany then nails Jade with a dropkick into the corner and connects with a handspring back elbow. Nia comes back with a clothesline to Tiffany. Nia tries to slam Jade, but Jade slips free and goes for a slam herself.
Jade cuts off Nia, and Tiffany rolls Jade up with an O’Connor Roll for two. Jade locks in a sleeper, but Tiffany counters into another near fall. Nia comes off the turnbuckles with a leg drop for a close count. Tiffany goes up top and lands a swanton on Nia, but Jade kicks her. Tiffany still manages a near fall.
Jade and Tiffany trade forearms until Nia flattens both with a double clothesline. Nia mocks them with a little dance, then stacks Tiffany on top of Jade for a pin, but both kick out. Nia misses the AnNIAlator, gets hit with a dropkick from Tiffany, and Jade knocks Tiffany off the top rope mid–Prettiest Moonsault Ever. Jade throws in some knees, but Nia answers with a splash on both, then crushes Tiffany in the corner for another near fall.
Jade heads outside and clears the announce table. She tries to lift Nia, but Nia slips free and sends Jade into the steps. Nia sets up the bottom half of the steps and tries for a suplex, but Jade blocks and hits a Samoan Drop onto them. Jade is now bleeding above her eye.
The referee checks on Jade as Nia gets back in the ring. Jade follows and hits a Bossman Slam for a near fall. Tiffany dropkicks Jade and covers her, with the referee counting despite Nia not clearly getting her shoulder up. Tiffany adds an elbow drop, then nails the Prettiest Moonsault Ever for the three count.
The match concluded with Stratton retaining her title. Immediately after, Stephanie Vaquer entered the ring. Both Vaquer and Stratton raised their respective championship belts. They will face each other at WWE Crown Jewel.
