Naomi's MITB cash-in prevented by top 41-year-old star on SmackDown; Tiffany Stratton unexpectedly "saved"

Naomi came out as Ms. Money in the Bank 2025 for the first time and issued a warning to WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton. However, her cash-in attempt on Stratton was unexpectedly thwarted.

When Naomi came out, she had an "I told you so" moment with the WWE Universe as she has reached the biggest point in her career as Ms. Money in the Bank, and a possible future women's champion. Tiffany Stratton came out to let her know that she wasn't afraid of her and urged her to cash in.

Naomi asked Stratton if she looked like a fool and stated her intention to cash in when the champion least expected, like when she's down. As Ms. MITB walked off, Nia Jax attacked Stratton from behind. While Stratton seemingly anticipated it, Jax still got the better of her, but still prevented an MITB cash in.

It would have been an ideal moment for Ms. Money in the Bank, but it wasn't meant to be. If anything, the Damian Priest run with the briefcase in 2023-2024 was the perfect example of how sometimes waiting for a long time pays dividends.

Carmella was in a similar position when she became the first-ever Ms. MITB in 2017.

The WWE Women's Title picture on SmackDown is about to get a lot more interesting.
