Tiffany Stratton wins Women’s United States title on WWE SmackDown
A new United States Champion was crowned on Friday’s SmackDown.
The first SmackDown after WrestleMania 42 saw Tiffany Stratton defeat Giulia to win the title for the first time, picking up the win after the prettiest moonsault ever. This ends Giulia’s run with the title after 112 days, defeating Chelsea Green on the January 2 edition of SmackDown.
After her title win, Stratton cut a short promo saying that for most of this year, she has felt like a runner-up, pointing out she didn’t win the Women’s Elimination Chamber back in February, and now she no longer feels that way. Her promo ended when the new Women’s Tag Team Champions Brie Bella and Paige arrived.
Stratton had been feuding with the likes of Giulia and her associate Kiana James in the weeks leading to the title match. After defeating James, Giulia defeated Stratton at the end of March. However, Stratton went on to defeat Jordynne Grace on the final SmackDown before WrestleMania, establishing herself as the number one contender.
