Chelsea Green’s celebration turned into an absolute nightmare at WWE Crown Jewel 2026 when Tiffany Stratton betrayed her and cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. Green had just defeated Liv Morgan to capture the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, but her moment of glory didn’t last long.
Following Green’s victory over Morgan, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque entered the ring to present her with the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship belt and ring. Green was overcome with emotion as she addressed the crowd and reflected on her 13-year journey in professional wrestling.
Green told the audience that they had accomplished something special together, acknowledging the sacrifices she had made throughout her career. She spoke about spending years feeling like she didn’t belong and being treated as a stepping stone for other wrestlers.
Now, after finally getting her moment in the spotlight, Green declared that she deserved everything she had achieved. However, before Green could finish proclaiming herself the greatest women’s champion, Liv Morgan attacked her from behind. That’s when Tiffany Stratton’s music suddenly hit.
Stratton rushed to the ring and attacked Morgan from behind, initially making it appear that she had arrived to save Green from another assault. However, the situation quickly took a completely different turn. Stratton revealed that she intended to cash in her Money in the Bank contract. Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez attempted to interfere, but Green stopped them, seemingly helping Stratton deal with the opposition. That decision came back to haunt Green immediately.
Instead of showing any appreciation, Stratton attacked Green and made it clear that she was cashing in on the WWE Women’s Champion herself. The championship match was made, and Stratton wasted no time taking advantage of the situation. She climbed to the top rope and delivered the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, securing the three-count and becoming the new WWE Women’s Champion.
Just like that, Chelsea Green went from celebrating one of the biggest victories of her career to losing her WWE Women’s Championship to someone who had appeared to come to her rescue. The betrayal was especially brutal considering Green had just delivered an emotional speech about spending 13 years fighting for respect. Stratton used that exact moment to take advantage of an already exhausted champion, turning Green’s celebration into her own championship victory.
For Stratton, the Money in the Bank cash-in marks a major turning point, giving her the WWE Women’s Championship in dramatic fashion. For Green, the loss leaves her with the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship but without the title she brought into the event.
