Tiffany Stratton is a champion again after a big win on WWE SmackDown. 

It was a breakout year for Tiffany Stratton in 2025 as she became the WWE Women’s Champion for the first time after cashing in Money in the Bank on her former friend, Nia Jax.

As the WWE Women’s Champion on SmackDown, Stratton had an impressive title reign that lasted 301 days and included big wins over legendary wrestlers like Charlotte Flair, Trish Stratus, and Jax, to name a few.

After taking some time off to allow some injuries to heal, Stratton was a force in the Women’s Royal Rumble and finished as the runner-up to Liv Morgan. Stratton was also the runner-up in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, which was won by Rhea Ripley.

Even though Stratton was a runner-up in the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, she was somehow left off the WrestleMania 42 card, even with 13 matches on the show.

There was a time when WWE was planning to have Stratton challenge Giulia for the Women’s US Title at WrestleMania 42, but those plans were dropped, and the match was moved to SmackDown after WrestleMania.

In an interview with Unseen with Joey Karni, Stratton made an interesting remark about how she’s going to make sure she never misses a WrestleMania again.

“I feel like my mindset has always been just kind of controlling what I can control, which is making the most out of all my segments, making the most out of my matches, making sure I’m delivering on everything and having really good matches with everybody.

And unfortunately, being on WrestleMania wasn’t in the cards for me this year. However, that just kind of leaves me with a chip on my shoulder for next year, and I’m going to do everything in my power to never let that happen ever again.”

Tiffany Stratton Has A Message For Her Haters

On the SmackDown after WrestleMania in Fort Worth, Texas, Tiffany Stratton defeated Giulia to win the Women’s United States Title. It is Stratton’s second championship win on the WWE main roster after winning the WWE Women’s Title last year. Stratton also won the NXT Women’s Title during her NXT run.

The Stratton match with Giulia featured a lot of athletic moves and counters between two incredible performers. While Giulia’s friend Kiana James tried to help Giulia win, it didn’t work, and Stratton was able to hit the Prettiest Moonsault Ever and pick up the victory, as well as the Women’s US Title.

After the victory, Tiffany Stratton was interviewed by Cathy Kelley at the entrance in front of the crowd. Stratton said that she came up short at Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber as the runner-up, but now she’s a champion again. Stratton said she’ll show why WWE runs on Tiffy Time.

With SmackDown adding new women to the roster like Blake Monroe and Fatal Influence’s Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid, it’s certainly possible that Stratton defends the gold against some new challengers sooner rather than later.

In a post on Instagram, Stratton posed with her new WWE Women’s US Championship and wrote a short message: “My haters aren’t gonna like this #justagirl”
