WWE Smackdown Results January 3, 2025: New Women’s Champion Crowned
On the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, a shocking turn of events took place as Tiffany Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new WWE Women’s World Champion. This monumental moment marks the dawn of a new era for Stratton, who has now reached unprecedented heights within the women’s division.
Stratton’s victory was fueled by Naomi’s betrayal of Nia Jax, which led to Jax’s defeat at the hands of Stratton in the championship match. The sudden turn of events left the audience stunned and craving more action from these fierce competitors.
The SmackDown roster also saw Shinsuke Nakamura successfully retain his U.S. Title against Andrade via pinfall, solidifying his position within the WWE hierarchy.
Other notable matches included Michin pinning Piper Niven via pinfall and the Motor City Machine Guns defeating DIY via disqualification from Pretty Deadly and Legado Del Fantasma, resulting in DIY retaining their Tag-Team Champions title.
Additionally, Sol Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu emerged victorious against Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn.
In a surprising turn of events, Drew McIntyre made his return to the SmackDown roster, interrupting Cody Rhodes just before he was ambushed by Kevin Owens. This development has sparked excitement among fans as it sets the stage for an impending showdown between these two formidable competitors.
The evening’s main event featured Paul Heyman delivering a compelling promo and Solo Sikoa asking him to hold his ula fala during Tribal Combat at Raw on Netflix debut on January 6, hinting at a potential explosive confrontation in the near future.
As WWE continues to build towards their ladder match for the WWE Championship and Winged Eagle title, the upcoming Royal Rumble event holds immense promise.
