Chelsea Green appeared to have pulled off a major upset, beating Liv Morgan for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Saturday. Then Tiffany Stratton changed everything.
Morgan had sent her Judgment Day teammates, Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, backstage, insisting she could handle Green on her own. She controlled much of the match, but a brief lapse in focus gave Green the opening she needed to win.
Green celebrated with an emotional speech, reflecting on 13 years of setbacks and being overlooked. She said she had been told she didn’t deserve the opportunity and was only a stepping stone for others. Now, she said, she had finally won—and called herself the greatest women’s champion of all time.
The celebration didn’t last. Morgan attacked Green, and Stratton, the Women’s Money in the Bank holder, emerged from the crowd and struck Morgan with her briefcase. Perez and Rodriguez tried to intervene, but Green knocked them down.
It seemed Stratton was about to cash in on Morgan. Instead, she hit Green with the briefcase, turned on her friend and cashed in. Stratton followed with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever and pinned Green to win the championship.
Stratton became WWE women’s champion for the second time. She also took Green’s Crown Jewel title and ring, leaving Green in tears. Green still appears to be recognized as Crown Jewel champion, but Stratton’s actions made her intentions clear.
This isn’t the first time Stratton has used a friendship with a champion to get close before cashing in. She did something similar to Nia Jax last year, after winning the briefcase in 2024. With the Women’s Money in the Bank contract in her hands, Stratton has shown that even her friends may not be safe.
