The Money in the Bank contract has given multiple wrestlers the opportunity to capture the World Championship. Whenever a superstar wins the contract, it is normally a matter of time until they become the champion. The recent Money in the Bank cash-in was a clear example of that. Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on the recent episode of SmackDown to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Former champion Nia Jax was scheduled to face Naomi and defend her championship. Despite there being a lot of disturbance at ringside, Jax managed to defeat Naomi and defend her championship. After the match, while Jax was distracted by Bianca Blair, Stratton nailed her with the briefcase to capture the opportunity.
Bianca Belair also hit Nia with the KOD before the bell rang to help Stratton. Tiffany went to the top rope and delivered a Moonsault to capture her first WWE Women’s Championship. This victory gave her the reward for being patient for the past 6 months and also made the members of the WWE Universe very happy.
There was a loud cheer around the arena as soon as the referee counted to three. Stratton had been quietly pushed to the shadows on multiple occasions during big storylines. This might have been a way for the company to make sure that nobody would predict when she would make her much-awaited cash-in. The next episode of the blue brand will definitely feature her celebrating her victory.
