WWE Women’s Championship Match Ends in Controversy
Tiffany Stratton decided to put her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against the imposing Nia Jax, while being watched closely by Charlotte Flair from the backstage. The techniques and offensive moves that Stratton is renowned for were not enough to hold Jax back, who attacked her earlier the fight with her power and brute force. However, in spite of the situation, Stratton showed courage and took advantage of the moment to execute her signature move, Prettiest Moonsault Ever. LeRae, unfortunately, interfered suddenly by giving a kick to Stratton, in result of which her opponent could not perform the move and was disqualified immediately.
The grapple continued as Jax and LeRae kept on beating each other up, and WWE hall of fame- Trish Stratus went to the ring in order to help the situation. Stratus was overpowered and beaten up too, however. Just when it seemed that Stratton was left vulnerable, Flair strutted her way to the ring, to Stratton’s displeasure. Charlotte took the opportunity to identify herself as Stratton’s opponent at WrestleMania 41 legitimately and she made fun of her to round off her show.

The night’s main event was a brutal and physically grueling Triple Threat Elimination Chamber qualifying match feature. In this match, all three superstars gutted it out with punishing strikes and high-impact moves that had the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats.

In the meantime, Priest came to the forefront and with a thunderous South of Heaven Chokeslam put Strowman out thereby getting a place in the Elimination Chamber match. These events are imperative for the lead-up to WrestleMania, as they create even more unpredictability.
With the aggressive rivalries being sliced, the definition of a major encounter was achieved, and the personal grudges becoming much bigger, SmackDown came to put another unprecedented edition on the history of wrestling ring. While WrestleMania 41 is getting closer and closer to the WWE Universe, the fans of WWE might have to get ready for more drama, surprises, and never before unforgettable matches in the coming weeks.
