Folks, I have to tell you, last night’s “SmackDown” from Berlin was YUGE, and I mean absolutely YUGE! We had Nia Jax, the reigning WWE Women’s Champion—just a tremendous champion, by the way—putting her title on the line in a match that was so wild, it might have even given me a run for my money. And let me tell you, that’s saying something!
This wasn’t just any match, folks. Oh no, it was a Street Fight, which means anything goes, and boy, did it go. Jax squared off against Michin, a woman who, according to the experts, is an “expert” in street fights. Believe me, she was swinging weapons like she was auditioning for the next “Mad Max” movie! Jax, on the other hand, looked like she was about to ask for a rulebook until Michin sent her flying through a table! And it wasn’t even a regulation table, folks—no fancy dining here, just wood splinters and chaos.
Just when it seemed like Michin might be walking out with that beautiful championship gold, the Uber Arena suddenly went full-on Barbie Dreamhouse pink! Tiffany Stratton, with her sparkly Money in the Bank briefcase, came running down like she was about to redecorate the place. And she started swinging that briefcase like it was a gavel at a bankruptcy court, folks. Let me tell you, I’ve seen some intense briefcase negotiations, but this was something else!
Now, Stratton, in her infinite wisdom, decides to maybe cash in her contract on Jax, who’s laid out like a pancake. But Jax, being the brilliant strategist that she is, catches Stratton in the act. And what happens next? Stratton tries to hit her signature Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but who returns from the shadows? The one and only Bayley! Yes, folks, Bayley’s back, and she’s not here to bake cookies! She chases Stratton out of the arena like a debt collector with a vendetta.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Jax is left with a downed Michin, who’s probably seeing stars at this point. So, what does our champion do? She covers Michin with a trash can and delivers an Annihilator that I’m pretty sure they felt all the way in the nosebleeds. The ref counts to three, and Jax retains her title in what can only be described as a beautifully chaotic fashion.
This marks Jax’s first title defense since that incredible victory at SummerSlam, where she shocked the world by beating Bayley, no less! No plans for the title at Bash in Berlin, but after last night, who knows what’s next? And Bayley, while she did make her grand return, made sure not to cross paths with Jax—probably still stinging from SummerSlam, folks. Understandable, very understandable!
