The latest bygone episode of WWE SmackDown witnessed Jade Cargill receiving yet another shot at Tiffany Stratton’s Women’s Championship. The champion left the ring with her championship intact around her shoulder. But this time around, she was unable to score a clean pinfall win like the previous occasion at SummerSlam due to the bout spilling at ringside.
On the September 12 episode of WWE SmackDown, Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship ended in a Double Count-Out. The champion caught Cargill with a Death Valley Driver and went up top for Prettiest Moonsault Ever, but Cargill pulled her down and connected with a Blue Thunder Bomb.

Tiffany came back by hitting Cargill with an Alabama Slam and went up top again, but Cargill took her down with a pump kick. As the fight continued on the apron, the former hit a dropkick on the apron and went for Prettiest Moonsault Ever, again. Cargill dodged and took her opponent out with a spear through the barricade as the referee declared the match to be a double count-out. After the match was over, Nia Jax attacked both the match participants and put them down with two An-NIA-lator moves.
