Tiffany Stratton’s WWE reign has solidified itself as one of the most impressive in recent history, marking the third longest WWE Women’s Championship run to date. Since capturing the title on January 3, 2025, Stratton has remained undefeated, establishing herself as a dominant force on WWE SmackDown.
Her reign began when she cashed in her opportunity against Nia Jax on SmackDown, signaling the start of a year filled with successful title defenses and pivotal matches. Throughout 2025, Stratton has been the only undefeated superstar across both Raw and SmackDown, boasting a perfect 15-0 record in all her contests this year.
Key Matches and Rivalries Defining Her Championship Year
Stratton’s championship run has included significant battles, notably against Jade Cargill, who earned her chance by winning the 2025 Queen of the Ring tournament. Despite Cargill’s earlier opportunities, including a title match at SummerSlam that ended in her loss, she continued to challenge Stratton fiercely.
Their rivalry intensified on the September 12 episode of SmackDown when their rematch concluded in a double count-out caused by Nia Jax’s interference. This led to a triple threat match involving Stratton, Jax, and Cargill on the September 26 SmackDown, showcasing the high stakes surrounding the title.
Other notable title defenses during Stratton’s reign include victories over Bayley and Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41, further cementing her status as a leading champion in the women’s division. Her overall record in singles matches this year stands at 12 wins, zero losses, and one no contest.
