Tiffany Stratton Betrays Chelsea Green to Win WWE Women’s Championship

Tiffany Stratton finally cashed in her Money in the Bank contract at Crown Jewel, defeating Chelsea Green to become the new WWE Women’s Champion during Saturday’s premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The cash-in came immediately after Green achieved one of the biggest victories of her career, defeating Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan to capture the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. Green appeared to be celebrating her accomplishment before the situation took a dramatic turn.

Morgan attacked Green following their match, creating an opening for Stratton to approach the ring with her Money in the Bank briefcase. Stratton initially appeared to be coming to her friend’s assistance, continuing the uneasy relationship between the two women that had developed during recent WWE programming.

The situation changed when Green prevented Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez from entering the ring. With Morgan’s allies temporarily neutralized, Stratton struck Green in the face with the briefcase and officially announced her cash-in.

Stratton immediately connected with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, securing the pinfall and becoming WWE Women’s Champion.

The victory ended weeks of unsuccessful cash-in attempts, during which Stratton repeatedly approached potential championship opportunities without completing the process. Those appearances established her as an ongoing threat, but her hesitation had prevented her from converting the contract into a title.

Saturday demonstrated that Stratton had finally identified the right opportunity. Rather than attempting to defeat Morgan and The Judgment Day, she targeted an exhausted Green immediately after a demanding championship match.

The betrayal adds considerable significance because Green had treated Stratton as an ally. Their relationship provided Stratton with an opportunity to approach the situation without immediately appearing hostile, making the eventual attack even more effective.

For Green, Crown Jewel produced two sharply contrasting outcomes. She became Women’s Crown Jewel Champion by defeating Morgan, only to lose the WWE Women’s Championship moments later. The sequence allows Green to retain an important accomplishment while creating a personal rivalry with Stratton.

Stratton’s championship victory also changes the balance of WWE’s women’s division heading toward Survivor Series. Morgan remains Women’s World Champion, but the other major women’s singles championship now belongs to Stratton.

Green, however, has an obvious reason to seek revenge. Losing the championship under those circumstances creates a clear direction for a rivalry that could continue through the remaining weeks of 2026.

WWE Crown Jewel Results — November 7, 2026

WWE presented Crown Jewel from ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featuring five matches, including the Money in the Bank cash-in, and multiple championship changes. Roman Reigns and Chelsea Green captured the event’s Crown Jewel Championships, while Tiffany Stratton and the team of Penta and Je’Von Evans left Saudi Arabia with newly won titles.

Results:

• Last Man Standing Match — Cody Rhodes def. Randy Orton.
• World Tag Team Championship — Penta & Je’Von Evans def. Bron Breakker & Austin Theory to win the championship.
• Women’s Crown Jewel Championship — WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green def. Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
• WWE Women’s Championship, Money in the Bank Cash-In — Tiffany Stratton def. Chelsea Green to win the championship.
• Men’s Crown Jewel Championship — World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns def. Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn.

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton opened the event with a violent Last Man Standing Match that pushed both competitors beyond conventional competition. The former allies exchanged attacks with kendo sticks, steel chairs and tables, with Orton delivering a powerbomb through a table and connecting with an RKO during the encounter. Rhodes also suffered a major setback when he attempted a splash from a ladder through the announce table, only for Orton to move and leave Rhodes crashing through the structure.

The decisive sequence saw Rhodes survive another attempt at the RKO before delivering three Cross Rhodes. Rather than relying on his usual finishing maneuver, Rhodes used Orton’s own Punt Kick to leave The Viper unable to answer the referee’s ten-count. The victory gives Rhodes a significant result in a rivalry that has become increasingly personal, particularly because he defeated Orton using a maneuver associated with his opponent’s most ruthless moments.

The World Tag Team Championship changed hands when Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated Bron Breakker and Austin Theory. The Vision entered with considerable advantages in power and outside support, with Bronson Reed becoming involved during the encounter. Reed’s interference nearly helped the champions retain, but the situation changed dramatically when Oba Femi arrived.

Femi attacked Reed and sent him from the stage through a table, removing one of The Vision’s most dangerous advantages. With the interference neutralized, Evans connected with the OG Cutter on Theory to secure the pinfall. The victory gives Evans and Penta their first championship as a team and creates an important new direction for Raw’s tag team division.

Chelsea Green defeated Liv Morgan in the women’s Champion vs. Champion encounter despite the attempted involvement of The Judgment Day. Morgan used her aggressive offense to control portions of the match, but Green survived several dangerous sequences and continued searching for opportunities to counter.

Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez attempted to assist Morgan, but the Women’s World Champion dismissed them, insisting that she could handle Green herself. That decision proved costly when Green countered Morgan’s attempted Oblivion into a rollup, securing the victory and becoming Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.

The celebration quickly deteriorated when Morgan attacked Green, bringing Tiffany Stratton into the confrontation. Stratton initially appeared ready to help before revealing her intentions, striking Green with the briefcase and successfully cashing in to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.

The main event brought Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn together in a Champion vs. Champion encounter shaped by their complicated history within The Bloodline. Zayn entered determined to demonstrate that he belonged alongside WWE’s most established main event stars, while Reigns attempted to reassert his superiority over the man once known as the Honorary Uce.

Zayn pushed Reigns throughout the encounter, connecting with a Blue Thunder Bomb and multiple Helluva Kicks. The match became increasingly chaotic after Reigns accidentally struck the referee with a Superman Punch, allowing Zayn to connect with another Helluva Kick without an official immediately available to count the pinfall.

A second referee eventually entered, but the delay allowed Reigns to survive. Zayn became so frustrated that he struck the replacement official with another Helluva Kick, creating an additional complication as the match continued.

Zayn subsequently attempted to use the championship belt as a weapon, but Reigns countered with a Spear. The Undisputed WWE Champion survived that attack and continued fighting, even mocking Reigns’ familiar mannerisms before attempting another major offensive sequence.

Reigns eventually regained control and connected with consecutive Spears to secure the victory, becoming the 2026 Men’s Crown Jewel Champion.

The aftermath provided an important moment between the former allies. Zayn demanded recognition from Reigns, insisting that their match had demonstrated his ability to compete at the same level. Rather than settling for a handshake, Reigns embraced Zayn, acknowledging the effort required to defeat him.

Crown Jewel ultimately delivered meaningful developments across several divisions. Stratton has a new championship, The Vision has lost its tag team titles, and Reigns and Zayn may have reached a turning point in their complicated relationship.

WWE Talent Returns Safely Following Crown Jewel Amid Riyadh Security Concerns

WWE talent and personnel have returned safely from Saudi Arabia following Saturday’s Crown Jewel event, bringing a positive conclusion to a trip that had generated considerable concern about regional security.

According to reports from PWInsider and Wrestling Observer, WWE arranged travel through Bahrain rather than relying entirely on Riyadh’s airport. The decision was made amid ongoing security concerns involving missile and drone attacks in the region.

Those concerns became particularly relevant Sunday when Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for an attack targeting Riyadh’s financial district. Saudi authorities reportedly intercepted incoming weapons, although falling debris caused minor damage to a building. No casualties were reported.

WWE personnel had already departed the area before the latest incident, and reports indicated that talent and staff returned home without any negative incidents during their travel.

The situation provides additional context for the company’s decision to proceed with Crown Jewel despite questions surrounding the safety of international travel. The event took place as scheduled, but its production required coordination beyond the usual demands of a major wrestling show.

Crown Jewel had already experienced a venue change shortly before the event, with organizers moving the show to ANB Arena while retaining Riyadh as the host city. Although that change was not officially attributed to security concerns, the broader situation remained a topic of discussion throughout the week.

The safe return of WWE personnel is the most important immediate development. With Crown Jewel complete, the company can now turn its attention toward its domestic television schedule and Survivor Series on November 28.

Tommaso Ciampa Dethrones Andrade to Win AEW National Championship

Tommaso Ciampa captured the AEW National Championship Saturday, defeating Andrade El Idolo in the main event of Collision from Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea.

The championship victory came in a rematch from WrestleDream, where Andrade had successfully retained against Ciampa. Saturday provided the challenger with another opportunity to prove that he could overcome the champion, although both competitors took advantage of questionable tactics during the encounter.

Ciampa attempted to establish an advantage immediately, distracting Andrade with a request that the referee inspect his opponent before attacking at the opening bell.

Andrade responded with an aggressive performance that included his trademark combination offense and several near falls. Both competitors survived major attacks, including an Avalanche Air Raid Crash from Ciampa and multiple significant offensive sequences from Andrade.

The match’s momentum changed when referee Aubrey Edwards was accidentally struck during a confrontation near the corner. Andrade capitalized with The DM, but there was no official available to count the pinfall.

Ciampa took advantage of the confusion by delivering a low blow and following with a running knee. Andrade survived that sequence and continued fighting, connecting with additional offense while repeatedly coming close to retaining his championship.

The finish came when Andrade attempted to follow up after connecting with Día de los Muertos. Ciampa countered his movement into a pinning combination, hooking the champion’s legs to secure the three-count.

The victory gives Ciampa another championship accomplishment in AEW and ends Andrade’s National Championship reign. His celebration included a moment with his daughter at ringside, providing a personal conclusion to an otherwise aggressive championship encounter.

For the new champion, the result represents an important development heading into Full Gear. Ciampa now has a championship to defend and an opportunity to establish himself among AEW’s prominent singles competitors during the final weeks of 2026.

AEW Collision Results — November 7, 2026

AEW presented a special live edition of Collision aboard the Norwegian Jewel in Miami, Florida, as part of Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea. The broadcast featured six matches, a championship change and several major developments ahead of Full Gear on November 14 in Phoenix.

Results:

• Chris Jericho def. Blake Christian by submission.
• Best-of-Five Series, Match Four — FTR def. Motor City Machine Guns. Series tied 2–2.
• Nick Wayne def. Marcus Mathers.
• Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd & Daniel Garcia) def. Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean).
• Persephone def. Mina Shirakawa.
• AEW National Championship — Tommaso Ciampa def. Andrade El Idolo to win the championship.

Chris Jericho opened the broadcast with a victory over Blake Christian, forcing his opponent to submit to the Walls of Jericho. The match provided an opportunity for Jericho to compete in front of fans attending his own cruise event, while Christian pushed the veteran with several high-risk offensive sequences before eventually submitting.

FTR forced a decisive fifth encounter against the Motor City Machine Guns, defeating Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin to even their best-of-five series at two victories apiece. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler repeatedly targeted Shelley’s injured knee, attempting to prevent him from contributing effectively while isolating Sabin for extended portions of the match.

The Machine Guns fought through the punishment and appeared close to securing the overall series victory. However, Stokely Hathaway interfered again, distracting Shelley and creating an opening for Harwood to secure a rollup while holding the tights. The controversial finish gives FTR another victory through questionable circumstances, setting up the deciding match for Full Gear.

The Death Riders defeated Shane Taylor Promotions in trios competition, with Gabe Kidd securing the deciding fall over Carlie Bravo. Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia and Kidd demonstrated effective teamwork despite their ongoing conflicts with several other factions.

The celebration did not last long. Mercedes Moné confronted Moxley and demanded to know where Marina Shafir was, continuing the hostility surrounding their upcoming AEW Women’s World Championship match. Jay White and The Cut subsequently entered the confrontation and overwhelmed the Death Riders through their numerical advantage.

White delivered a Blade Runner to Moxley, leaving the faction standing tall ahead of their scheduled Anarchy in the Arena encounter at Full Gear. Moné’s participation created an unusual moment of cooperation between individuals who share a common enemy rather than an established alliance.

Later in the broadcast, The Cut discovered that Juice Robinson had been attacked backstage and taken to the hospital within the storyline. White responded angrily, blaming the Death Riders and promising retaliation. The development adds another personal element to a rivalry that has already become one of AEW’s most aggressive faction conflicts.

Persephone defeated Mina Shirakawa following a competitive singles encounter, finishing with a frog splash. The former TBS Champion continued attacking Shirakawa after the match, prompting current champion Queen Aminata to intervene. Their confrontation keeps the championship rivalry active following Aminata’s victory on Fright Night Dynamite.

Nick Wayne also defeated Marcus Mathers and continued mocking Jericho, repeatedly reminding the cruise audience of his previous victories over the event’s host. The rivalry provides another personal storyline alongside AEW’s developing championship programs.

Saturday’s Collision established several important directions for the coming week. Ciampa begins a new championship reign, FTR and the Motor City Machine Guns are headed toward a deciding encounter, and the conflict between The Cut and the Death Riders continues escalating ahead of Full Gear.

AEW Full Gear Adds Okada vs. Copeland as Final Week Begins

AEW Full Gear received another major championship match over the weekend, with Kazuchika Okada scheduled to defend the AEW International Championship against Adam Copeland.

The match was added following Saturday’s Collision, bringing another prominent singles encounter to the November 14 pay-per-view at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

Okada’s involvement in the Don Callis Family’s successful Blood & Guts match provides momentum heading into the championship defense. Copeland, meanwhile, surrendered during that encounter to prevent further punishment against his teammates, creating tension that could influence his approach to Full Gear.

Their championship match adds another significant attraction to an already crowded lineup. AEW World Champion Will Ospreay will defend against Kyle Fletcher, while Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné faces Marina Shafir.

The Young Bucks will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle, and Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor will put the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship on the line against Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron.

The AEW World Trios Championship will also be contested in a Texas Death Match, with Hangman Page, Bandido and Brody King facing Swerve Strickland, Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed.

Meanwhile, the developing conflict involving The Death Riders, The Conglomeration and The Cut will culminate in Anarchy in the Arena. The match brings together several established factions following weeks of increasingly violent attacks.

Wednesday’s combined three-hour Dynamite and Collision special will provide the final major television presentation before Full Gear. Announced attractions include Ospreay and Fletcher meeting face-to-face, Ciampa defending the National Championship against Mike Bailey, and Mercedes Moné teaming with Jay White against Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir.

With multiple championships and major stipulations involved, Full Gear has developed into one of AEW’s most substantial events of the year.

Josh Bishop Dethrones Killer Kross at MLW Saturday Night SuperFight

Major League Wrestling crowned a new World Heavyweight Champion Saturday when Josh Bishop defeated Killer Kross in a Last Man Standing Match at Saturday Night SuperFight from Cicero Stadium in Illinois.

The championship encounter concluded a rivalry that had intensified significantly during the previous week’s MLW programming. Bishop had already demonstrated his willingness to challenge Kross directly, while his confrontation with former partner Donovan Dijak added another personal complication ahead of the title match.

Saturday’s stipulation required one competitor to leave the other unable to answer a ten-count, providing an appropriate setting for two wrestlers whose rivalry has emphasized physical punishment.

Bishop ultimately prevailed after driving Kross through a table and preventing the champion from returning to his feet before the ten-count. The victory ended Kross’ reign and gave Bishop the most significant accomplishment of his MLW career.

The event also featured a World Tag Team Championship Street Fight, with The Good Brothers retaining against Glasgow Boys on Top. Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows overcame the challenge of Joe and Mark Coffey, maintaining their position atop the tag team division.

Austin Aries and Matt Riddle battled to a thirty-minute time-limit draw for the MLW National Openweight Championship. Riddle attacked Aries afterward and took possession of the championship belt, creating another unresolved situation despite the official result.

Tessa Blanchard made her MLW in-ring debut with a victory over Keyra, while Yota Tsuji defeated Trevor Lee in a match highlighting the promotion’s international relationships. Último Guerrero also defeated Templario and Titán in a three-way lucha libre encounter.

One of the evening’s more interesting announcements came when MLW founder Court Bauer introduced NJPW Chairman Naoki Sugabayashi. Bauer revealed that MLW and NJPW are developing a special collaborative project for 2027, with CMLL also involved in the broader international relationship.

The announcement arrives shortly after NJPW confirmed plans to close its existing American subsidiary, making its relationships with other North American promotions increasingly relevant. However, the companies have not yet announced specific details about the project or whether it will involve a live event, tournament or another form of collaboration.

Saturday Night SuperFight delivered a major championship change while reinforcing MLW’s connections with international wrestling organizations. Bishop’s victory establishes a new leading figure for the promotion, while the developing relationship with NJPW could provide additional opportunities in 2027.

Pro Wrestling EVE Crowns Four New Champions at Elite Encounters II

Pro Wrestling EVE delivered a remarkable series of championship changes Sunday, with all four titles defended during Elite Encounters II changing hands in Wolverhampton, England.

The event featured several notable international performers, including representatives from AEW, STARDOM and the wider independent wrestling scene. By the conclusion of the broadcast, the promotion had an entirely different championship landscape.

Kay Lee Ray captured the EVE Championship by defeating Kris Statlander in the main event. The encounter included a controversial sequence involving Session Moth Martina, whose attempted involvement backfired when she accidentally struck Statlander with the championship belt. Ray capitalized on the situation to secure the victory and become the new champion.

Marina Shafir also captured championship gold, defeating Miyu Yamashita for the EVE International Championship. The result gives Shafir an important accomplishment outside AEW just days before her scheduled Women’s World Championship challenge against Mercedes Moné at Full Gear.

Skye Blue defeated Lucy Deathmatch in a violent encounter to capture the Spirit of EVE Championship. The match emphasized the physical style associated with the title, with Blue overcoming the inaugural champion in a bloody contest.

The fourth championship change came when Maika and HANAKO, competing as Hai High Mate, defeated Hyperactive to win the EVE Tag Team Championship. The victory brought another international dimension to the event, with the STARDOM representatives securing championship success in England.

The evening also featured a ten-woman Riot of Violence match, with Session Moth Martina, Nyla Rose, Nightshade, Lana Austin and JGU defeating Rhio, Alexxis Falcon, Skye Smitson, Molly Spartan and Violet Nyte.

For EVE, the event represents a major transition. Four new champions provide opportunities for fresh rivalries and championship programs, while the involvement of recognizable performers from larger promotions gives the company additional international exposure.

The results also create interesting situations for AEW. Statlander lost her EVE Championship, Shafir gained another title before Full Gear, and Blue added championship gold while remaining involved in AEW’s ongoing faction rivalries.

With all four championships changing hands, Elite Encounters II stands as one of the most consequential events on EVE’s 2026 calendar.

Atticus Cogar Captures GCW Championship at The Crossroads

Game Changer Wrestling delivered another major championship change Saturday when Atticus Cogar defeated Joseph Sawyer in a No Rules Match to capture the GCW World Championship at The Crossroads in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The match continued an increasingly hostile rivalry that had involved attacks on wrestlers, officials and promotion management. With the championship at stake and conventional restrictions removed, both competitors used weapons and the surrounding environment throughout the encounter.

Sawyer attempted to leave the building during the match after attacking multiple people, but Jeffrey John intercepted him and forced the confrontation to continue. The action eventually returned to the ring, where both wrestlers absorbed considerable punishment involving glass and other weapons.

Cogar ultimately secured the victory with Brain Hemorrhage, ending Sawyer’s championship reign and becoming the new GCW World Champion.

The celebration did not last long. EFFY and Mance Warner appeared after the match and attacked Cogar, with Warner posing alongside the championship belt as the broadcast concluded.

The angle creates an immediate challenge for the new champion, whose victory established him at the top of the promotion only for established rivals to confront him moments later.

Elsewhere, Marko Stunt returned to GCW and turned against Jordan Oliver during an attack involving Joey Janela and Ryan O’Neill. The unexpected betrayal adds another personal conflict to a promotion already developing several aggressive rivalries.

The Crossroads delivered a significant championship change while establishing additional challengers and personal conflicts for GCW’s immediate future.

The next week of wrestling will feature several important television broadcasts and major events, with WWE and AEW entering November’s second full week following significant championship developments.

Monday’s Raw provides WWE with its first opportunity to address the aftermath of Crown Jewel. Tiffany Stratton must begin establishing herself as WWE Women’s Champion, while Chelsea Green has an obvious reason to pursue revenge following the betrayal.

Penta and Je’Von Evans will also enter Raw as the new World Tag Team Champions, creating another important development for The Vision and the teams pursuing championship opportunities. Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn may have reached a turning point in their relationship, but their respective championship reigns remain intact.

AEW’s attention turns toward Full Gear on November 14. The company has multiple championship matches scheduled, including Will Ospreay against Kyle Fletcher and the newly announced International Championship encounter between Kazuchika Okada and Adam Copeland.

Wednesday’s three-hour Dynamite and Collision special will provide the final major opportunity to develop those programs before the pay-per-view. FTR and the Motor City Machine Guns are also headed toward the deciding match in their best-of-five series, giving AEW another significant attraction.

TNA Destination X follows on November 15 in Edmonton, Alberta. The event features several established championship programs, including Leon Slater’s World Championship defense against Trey Miguel and the developing rivalry between syX and Matt Hardy and Moose.

Outside the larger promotions, MLW has a new World Heavyweight Champion in Josh Bishop, GCW has crowned Atticus Cogar, and Pro Wrestling EVE has experienced a complete championship turnover following Elite Encounters II.

The weekend demonstrated how quickly the professional wrestling landscape can change when multiple promotions present significant events at the same time. With several major shows approaching, the next week should establish how those championship changes influence the industry’s direction heading toward December.
