3 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Saturday Night's Main Event (Results & Review)

1. A Purposeful Squash Title Change

There are going to be some who say that ending Tiffany Stratton’s 300-plus-day WWE Women’s Championship title reign with a five-minute squash did her a huge disservice, but the fact is that the match actually did Jade Cargill an even bigger solid.

Cargill’s WWE run could best be described as unrealized promise, with a series of stumbles and flashes of potential. Her tag run with Bianca Belair produced both showcases for her raw power and presence, but also spotlighted her in-ring inadequacies. As a face, Jade was not going to ascend any further.

Turning heel rejuvenated Jade’s character, a reboot of sorts. Coming out and demolishing Tiffany at Saturday Night’s Main Event capitalized on that fresh energy, striking while the proverbial iron was hot. Cargill might never get a better chance at success at this level. She was at her most successful in AEW when she went out and steamrolled opponents. A heel Jade in WWE would do well to follow that mold. Saturday’s match was incredibly effective at establishing that template, so there is good reason for optimism here.

Stratton had beaten all challengers (Jade included) and entered Saturday with an impressive win-loss record in 2025, losing only to Stephanie Vaquer at Crown Jewel. Still, the regular title defenses had taken a physical toll, and she was banged up (in storyline) heading into the match. There really wasn’t much else for Tiffany to do, and having a lengthy back-and-forth match wouldn’t have softened the blow of losing.
