Women’s Championship Storylines Heat Up Ahead of SummerSlam!

The WWE women’s division is exploding with momentum, shocking returns, and career-defining rivalries. At Evolution 2025, Naomi stunned the world by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract to capture the Women’s World Championship, shifting the power dynamic just weeks before SummerSlam.

Now, with Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss all in the title conversation, the landscape is more volatile than ever.

🔥 Naomi’s Sudden Rise to the Top#

In a stunning conclusion to Evolution, Naomi interrupted a match between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky by cashing in her briefcase. Turning the match into a triple threat, she struck Sky with the case, then nailed a moonsault for the pinfall. It was her third world title win—marking a full-circle return from years of underutilization to championship dominance.

Her win closed out the all-women’s pay-per-view in cinematic fashion and reignited her career at a crucial time.

💪 Jade Cargill’s Path to SummerSlam#

Earlier that same night, Jade Cargill emerged victorious over Naomi in a No Holds Barred match. Her Queen-of-the-Ring status and recent undefeated streak have made her a natural challenger. Despite Naomi’s later win, Cargill arguably holds the psychological advantage heading into SummerSlam.

With her unmatched strength and flair for spectacle, many expect WWE to slot her into a title match, possibly turning Naomi’s defense into a fatal four-way or even a surprise post-match ambush.

👑 Tiffany Stratton Rules SmackDown#

On the blue brand, Tiffany Stratton continues her reign as WWE Women’s Champion with unapologetic glam and grit. Her victory over Trish Stratus at Evolution and a prior win against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania have solidified her credibility in the ring.

Stratton is being framed as the “future” of the division—but with rising threats around her, her title run could be entering dangerous territory. Alexa Bliss has returned from maternity leave and is teasing a Money in the Bank cash-in of her own. Charlotte Flair, meanwhile, is on a mission to reclaim her throne with a darker, more aggressive persona.
