The energy in Berlin’s Uber Arena was palpable on Friday night as WWE enthusiasts eagerly awaited the main event of “SmackDown.” The Street Fight for the WWE Women’s Championship was a brutal showdown between current champion Nia Jax and Michin. What occurred was an intense, weapon-filled conflict that amazed the spectators.
Initially, Jax appeared hesitant to interact with the weapons spread out in the ring, giving Michin an early edge.
A play transforms into a chaos
The level of tension in the arena peaked as the match spiraled into complete chaos. Showing her skills in street fighting, Michin threw Jax into a table, causing the crowd to cheer enthusiastically. There was a fleeting moment where it appeared that Michin was close to winning the WWE Women’s Championship. In the realm of WWE, things are never quite that straightforward.
As Michin was on the verge of winning, the arena was suddenly illuminated in pink light. Tiffany Stratton dashed down the ramp holding her personalized Money in the Bank briefcase, prepared to make a big impact. Stratton’s sudden arrival brought an extra element of uncertainty to a match that was already in a state of chaos.
Stratton’s Failed Cash-In and Bayley’s Comeback
Stratton’s intentions were clear—she aimed to cash in her Money in the Bank contract on a downed Jax. However, Jax, ever the savvy competitor, quickly caught wind of Stratton’s plan, thwarting the cash-in attempt. But Stratton wasn’t done yet. She turned her attention to Michin, who was still reeling from her earlier assault on Jax and delivered a brutal blow with the Money in the Bank briefcase.
In a shocking twist, just as Stratton prepared to land her signature move, the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, onto Michin, the arena erupted once more. With Stratton out of the picture, the focus returned to Jax and Michin, who were both battered and bruised from the relentless action.

Nia Jax’s Title Defense
As the dust settled, Jax seized the opportunity to finish the match on her terms. In a move that left the crowd stunned, she covered Michin’s body with a trash can and delivered her devastating Annihilator finisher through the metal container. The referee counted to three, and Jax was declared the winner, successfully retaining her WWE Women’s Championship.
The Foreboding Future and Bayley’s Influence
Despite her return, Bayley’s presence in the Uber Arena was notably restrained. While she intervened to prevent Stratton’s cash-in, Bayley did not engage directly with Jax, leaving fans speculating about her intentions. What lies ahead for Bayley remains a mystery, but her mere presence suggests that the story between her and Jax is far from over.
As for Jax, her 27-day reign as WWE Women’s Champion continues, but with challengers like Michin and the lurking threat of Stratton’s Money in the Bank contract, the road ahead is fraught with danger.
Match on Bash in Berlin Card
Interestingly, there are currently no plans to feature the WWE Women’s World Championship on the Bash in Berlin card, leaving fans to wonder when Jax will next defend her title. With tensions running high and the women’s division more competitive than ever, the future promises even more drama and excitement.
