5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (27 June - Results & Review)
3. ‘Last Woman Standing’
Someone get her a backwards cap and some jorts, because Tiffany Stratton was the female version of ‘Super Cena’ in this 'Last Woman Standing' match. The defending Women's Champ got to her feet just in time following a Nia Jax splash through a table off the ring apron, and then she did the same again after multiple squash spots with steel chairs.
Nia couldn't have done more to make Tiffy look like a hard nut who has far surpassed bowing down to last year's Queen Of The Ring. It'd be a lie to say this guy has been fond of Jax re-appearing as Stratton's biggest threat, but both women worked really, really hard to put on a show and entertain. That’s why they get an ‘Up’.
It's arguably one match too many for their feud, because it did resurface out of nowhere, but it was a fun stunt show full of weapon spots, bumps and drama at least. Honestly? Naomi’s MITB cash-in attempts getting cut off are growing a bit old, but even that didn’t kill the match. Again, it was also awesome to see Tiffany looking like more of a badass than an underdog princess like usual.
Fingers crossed that this was WWE's way of putting a bow on Tiff vs. Nia though. They surely don't have more left in the tank, not even after a short break. It's for the best if this pair steer clear of one another for at least 18 months. Credit to them for making this in-ring main event so watchable, right enough!
No Slim Jim tables either, which is interesting.
