Tiffany Stratton, the new WWE Women’s Champion, just reminded everyone why she’s the first woman to *ever* cash in Money in the Bank twice, but she did it with a brutal verbal jab to her former friend, Chelsea Green, tonight on SmackDown. Stratton, still basking in the glow of her Crown Jewel victory, kicked off her promo by declaring “Everything looks better on Tiffany Stratton!” But Green wasn’t having it. She hit the ring, told Stratton she’d always be the “Crown Jewel Champion,” while Stratton was just a “thief.” Stratton wasn’t having *that*, disrespectfully dropping Green’s Crown Jewel ring to the ground and then, to twist the knife, told her to “enjoy catering, b***h!” Green went for her, but Stratton got the better of the underdog and stood tall as the segment ended. This is definitely not over.
“WAR GAMES!” Explodes After a Chaotic Charlotte Flair Win
Tonight’s show also saw absolute pandemonium break out during Charlotte Flair’s match against Women’s United States Champion Jacy Jayne. Jayne came out hot, but her ego got in the way, allowing Flair to fight back with a cross body block and a cannonball from the apron. That’s when things went wild. Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid tried to help Jayne seize control, which brought Tatum Paxley and Alexa Bliss out to support Flair. A ringside brawl erupted, with Michin, B-Fab, and Jade Cargill all jumping into the fray. Then, out of nowhere, Stephanie Vaquer returned from injury, evening the odds! Amidst all that chaos, Flair drove Jayne face-first into the mat for the pinfall victory. And if that wasn’t enough, after the match, Flair grabbed a mic and, with all her fellow babyfaces, screamed “WAR GAMES!” You can just feel the tension building after that call.
Sami Zayn Demands Respect, Kevin Owens Drops a Steel Chain Bomb
Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn, still feeling the acknowledgment from The Tribal Chief after a grueling Crown Jewel main event, made his way to the ring flanked by Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. Zayn wasted no time, calling out “b***h-ass haters” in the building and demanding the same respect from the fans that Roman Reigns showed him. But just as Zayn was getting fired up, Kevin Owens’ music hit! Owens joined his longtime friend in the squared circle, and you could tell he had “business” on his mind. He told Zayn he was proud of him for righting wrongs, then immediately pivoted, reminding everyone that *he* got to right his own wrongs last week when he punched CM Punk with a steel chain and beat him all by himself. That’s some serious shade and a clear reminder that these two, while friends, always have their own agendas.
Tonight’s SmackDown was absolutely wild, dropping bombs left and right. With Stratton’s brutal honesty, Flair firing up the “WAR GAMES!” chant, and Owens throwing shade and steel chain memories, things are heating up big time. We also saw Damian Priest defeat Axiom, and Bakusai beat The MFTs by disqualification in a WWE Tag Team Championship Match. You gotta tune in next week to see how all this shakes out!
