00:00It's a banged-up WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton taking on a vindictive Jade Cargill.
00:09What time is it?
00:13What an incredible 20-25 for Tiffany Stratton.
00:18She grabbed that championship and went past the moon.
00:22And there's WWE Women's Champion.
00:27That title is mine.
00:29Everyone knows I had you beat mine.
00:32Tiffany hits the foot on the bottom rope and the official has to pull off the cover.
00:37I feel mine.
00:40The referee with the count.
00:43I feel mine.
00:45Nia Jax dragged the official out of the way.
00:48This doesn't serve me.
00:51I want that title.
00:54Jade Cargill just plucked the champ.
00:57Look at the eyes of Jade Cargill.
01:02This is like a woman possessed.
01:04The storm has snapped.
01:07At Saturday night, main event, time is up.
01:12Tiffany, I just want to make sure that you're okay physically and mentally, all right?
01:30For this match with Jade, I want to give you one last opportunity.
01:32Nick, enough.
01:33I know you're just doing your job, but I'm ready for this.
01:37I'm the champion, and I want to defend my title tonight, and I'm ready for this fight.
01:42I give Tiffany Stratton credit for being a fighting champion, but she is about to go into the eye of a storm.
01:53Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill on Saturday night's main event battle for the WWE Women's Championship, and it's next.
02:02Two rings surrounded by a steel cage.
02:19You want to play games?
02:21We're going to play games.
02:23Oh my God, are you kidding me?
02:25This is going to be a win.
02:28From hosting the 2002 Olympics and Paralympic Games, Winter Games, to preparing to welcome the games back in 2034,
02:45Utah has built a year-round sports legacy from action sports and endurance championships to global events like WWE and UFC.
02:54Well, WWE is all about giving back.
03:01Superstars Montez Ford of the Street Profits and R-Truth spent the day at the Utah Food Bank.
03:07It's, of course, a tough time for many in our country right now, and WWE superstars doing what they can to help out.
03:15Celebrities here tonight in Salt Lake City, Utah, including Gabriel Luna, based on a true story.
03:23Luna stars in Devil in Disguise.
03:26John Wayne Gacy, streaming now only on P.C.O.C.
03:29It's clobbering time!
03:31How about my guy, Pauline Shore?
03:33Comedian, actor, massive star.
03:35Pauline here having fun tonight.
03:38Tony Hinchcliffe, comedian and host of the live comedy podcast, Kill Tony and Wade, also the 18-time Grammy-nominated rapper, singer, and songwriter.
03:52Post Malone is here, I believe the greatest entertainer on the planet today.
03:57Post is falling in love with WWE.
03:59You cannot keep Post away, and I'll be honest, we love having him here.
04:03Always a party when Post Malone is in town.
04:06Remember, he joined us in France.
04:08Yes, he did, following us all around the world.
04:13A storm is coming.
04:29The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WWE Women's Championship!
04:49Introducing the challenger, from Barrow Beach, Florida, Jade Cargill!
05:00You know, Wade, in a triple threat match with Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton a number of weeks ago,
05:04Jade Cargill hit the steps with her head, busted her face wide open.
05:08She said that was the turning point.
05:10That's when she had the epiphany that she was doing things wrong,
05:12that it's time to make everything about Jade Cargill and winning the championship.
05:17Yeah, and she directed that epiphany against Tiffany, apparently.
05:21And I'll agree with you, Cargill's been on a major role since returning in 2025.
05:26But I felt things stalled out at SummerSlam in that championship match against tonight's opponent, Tiffany Stratton.
05:34And I'll agree, somewhere along the chain, Jade Cargill needed to change something.
05:40She needed to look at herself in the mirror and figure out what went wrong.
05:43She's decided to change her mindset.
05:45Very aggressive now, and we'll see if that leads to gold tonight.
05:50Seeking her first singles championship here, WWE.
05:55She's won two tag championships in her career.
05:58It's tippy time!
05:59And her opponent, from Prior Lake, Minnesota, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Tiffany Stratton!
06:25The champ's left knee heavily taped.
06:29That's the result of the attack by Jade Cargill a couple of weeks ago.
06:33Tiffany insists she's ready to go.
06:35She's medically cleared for this matchup here tonight.
06:38And it has been a Cinderella year for Tiffany Stratton.
06:41The third longest reign of all time for the WWE Women's Champion.
06:46It's her tenth title defense this year.
06:48She's only suffered one loss in 2025.
06:52And I'm glad you brought that loss off, because you're right, Tiffany has been unstoppable in 2025, until the very recent loss for the Crown Jewel Championship in Perk against Stephanie Verker.
07:05Now, sometimes, a loss out of nowhere, after such a dominant run, can really play with the mind of a competitor.
07:14And it's going to be interesting to see how Tiffany responds in a major championship match tonight.
07:19Jason Ayers, the official for this championship matchup.
07:23This is the fourth time these two women have gone one-on-one.
07:26Two no-contest.
07:27Tiffany, as Wade mentioned earlier, won back at SummerSlam.
07:29Also, she defended in a triple threat against both Jade and Nia back at the end of September.
07:35And we're underway, and Tiffany going right after Cargill.
07:37And Jade looking to use her power here tonight to take out the champ.
07:41And again, landing hard on the knee.
07:43And Tiffany quickly shows signs of the knee injury, and Jade's attacking it.
07:48You said to yourself, Tiffany Stratton is good to go.
07:51I'm not sure she is good to go.
07:53She just wants to go.
07:55Nick Aldis gave her an hour a little earlier.
07:57She didn't want to hear it.
07:58I don't know if that's pride, or ego, or fighting spirit, or what.
08:02Jade, a shade.
08:03That may be a mistake.
08:04Shades of Bret Hart with that move moments ago.
08:06And now a powerful chokeslam delivered to Stratton.
08:10Cargill just looks angry tonight.
08:13Well, what an attack.
08:14It's been clearly the bullseye on the knee.
08:16Jade stacked the deck in her favor a little over a week ago with that brutal attack on the champ.
08:22And this is now clearly a sub-optimal Stratton.
08:26And that pump.
08:26Ooh.
08:27Tiffany goes face first.
08:29Cover now by the number one contender.
08:31And a kick out by Tiffany at two.
08:32It's hard enough going to the ring against the power of Jade Cargill.
08:36But to go in there on one leg.
08:38I'll tell you right now, the difference between these two competitors at SummerSlam was the superior speed and movement of Tiffany Stratton.
08:45And that's what one of the matches is.
08:47Oh, what a build.
08:48But with a busted knee hampering Tiffany from the start.
08:52What is Tiffany's edge here?
08:53It certainly isn't power or aggression.
08:55Jade may have got a bit overconfident there.
08:57And it allows Tiffany to Stratton and opening.
08:59And Tiffany now.
09:00And trying to get up on the rope perhaps for that world's prettiest moonsault.
09:04And the prettiest moonsault ever, I should say.
09:05And now Tiffany slowly gets to the top rope.
09:08And Cargill now right back to the injured knee.
09:10We'll talk about SummerSlam who's a quick, prettiest moonsault.
09:14But one of the matches, you're taking it now.
09:15I couldn't pull it off.
09:16And Jade's got to be careful.
09:18Got to be very careful here.
09:20You strike the official, you're going to be disqualified.
09:22This isn't like the Cody Rhodes match earlier on.
09:26Jade's disqualified.
09:27Send her to the back.
09:28Well, Jade looks in complete control here.
09:30She's having a little beep.
09:32And the point I was trying to make, Wade, is the fact that Jade, she has no advantage.
09:36Tiffany has the champion's advantage in this match.
09:39Jade's got to pin or submit Tiffany in this matchup.
09:41I'd argue that Jade Cargill has a massive advantage by virtue of the fact that they're champion.
09:46Jade is physically hindered.
09:49Forget about disqualifications or countouts.
09:52Jade Cargill is in complete control here.
09:55Well, of course, she's not going to win the championship if Tiffany Stratton gets counted out.
10:00But breaking the count in the process there was Jade Cargill.
10:03One thing I'm noticing about Jade tonight, very confident, very relaxed, very intense in what she's trying to do.
10:10She feels like she's stacked the deck so far in her favor.
10:13No, no, no, no.
10:13This is how she injured Tiffany in the first place a couple of weeks ago.
10:17Placing her on the steps there.
10:18And Jade Cargill, you see her going to her eye.
10:21That's what turned this all around.
10:22And the steel steps it out.
10:23Tiffany.
10:23Oh, she drops Jade.
10:25Face first again into the steel steps.
10:27Well, took out the knees in the process.
10:29It was a genius move by Tiffany Stratton, who may have been playing a little possum there.
10:33And again, forehead first into the corner of the steps, went Cargill.
10:37And you've got to give Tiffany credit, climbing up to the top rope.
10:40And again, Jade Cargill meeting her there.
10:43Again, the speed and agility not there for Stratton.
10:46Yeah, when you're physically this hampered, it has to be the speed of thought that gets you through this.
10:50We know Tiffany is gritty.
10:51Uh-oh.
10:52Jade's got an opportunity.
10:53Tiffany's got an opportunity.
10:54Top rope now.
10:55Jade's in trouble.
10:57Swagged on by Stratton.
10:58Tiffany quickly into the cover.
11:00Can she retain?
11:01Jade powers out at two.
11:02While catching Cargill by surprise there.
11:05And almost pulling out what looked at the time as an unlikely victory.
11:10Just shows you how dangerous and inventive the champ is.
11:14And you saw how quickly Tiffany went for that cover.
11:17Very desperate champion here.
11:19Very much favoring the left leg.
11:22Oh, right into a close line.
11:23Tiffany simply couldn't follow that offense up.
11:26She has no pace to her whatsoever with that hampered knee.
11:29And now Cargill with Stratton on her shoulders.
11:34And again, the power of Jade Cargill.
11:37Cover on the champ.
11:39Tiffany again survived.
11:40The eye of the storm connects.
11:42And she's beaten several opponents with that before.
11:45Slowly but surely softening up Stratton.
11:47And again, the power is Jade Cargill.
11:50Tiffany still showing some fight.
11:52There's a fallaway slam by the storm.
11:54I'm seeing very little coming back the other way at this point.
11:57And Jade is just being ferocious.
11:59Oh, she's just having her way now with Stratton.
12:03Another fallaway slam.
12:04Clearly thinking about that loss at SummerSlam.
12:08But she came so close to the goal.
12:10Not making any mistakes here.
12:12Again into the cover.
12:13Wraps the arm.
12:13Hooks the leg.
12:14And Tiffany still fighting in this matchup.
12:16Kicks out again.
12:17But how much did the champ have left?
12:19Now you start looking at the inexperience factor of Jade Cargill.
12:23And sometimes has got a raggedy mindset.
12:27And comes a little unglued.
12:28Oh, and a sit-out powerbomb.
12:30Cover.
12:31Tiffany kicks at it too again.
12:33It is just nuclear bomb after nuclear bomb.
12:36All landing on Tiffany's strata.
12:38My God.
12:40And now Jade and Tiffany.
12:43Where she wants her again.
12:45Absolutely relentless.
12:47The referee may have to step in it this way.
12:51This has been the most intense.
12:53The most ferocious I've seen Jade Cargill since arriving here in WWE.
12:58And Jade realizes it.
12:59It's her time.
13:00There it is.
13:01Jaded by Cargill.
13:03Cover.
13:04Jade Cargill wins the championship.
13:07Here is your winner and the new WWE Women's Champion, Jade Cargill.
13:20Well, when Jade Cargill arrived in WWE a couple of years ago, she said she wanted to become a household name.
13:30Well, Jade Cargill is now a household name.
13:34A storm has come to WWE and a warning to all on SmackDown.
13:39Well, Jade Cargill has always had the physical tools and she used them one after the other tonight.
13:47Absolutely relentlessly abusing the broken and battered body of Tiffany Stratton.
13:53And once Jade had connected, it was inevitable a new WWE Women's Champion with a cast iron mindset.
14:06Jade Cargill, welcome to the very top tier.
14:10Listen, I've been remiss if I...
14:12Didn't talk about the heroic effort of the former champion Tiffany Stratton tonight.
14:25Obviously nowhere near 100%, but she still defended her title valiantly against Jade Cargill, your new WWE Women's Champion.
14:36And I mentioned it before, Wade, everyone on SmackDown has been put...
