Nia Jax is the first person to ever kick out of the Prettiest Moonsault Ever
The main event of tonight's (May 16) episode of SmackDown featured Tiffany Stratton defending the WWE women's championship against Nia Jax. This was presented like an epic title match with both stars going above and beyond in their quest to walk out with the gold. In the case of Jax, she actually kicked out of Stratton's Prettiest Moonsault Ever (PME) finishing move. The commentators noted it's the first time anybody has ever done that. Advertisement Tiffany would not stay down either. Just when it looked like Nia had the match won after countering Tiffany's power bomb into the Annihilator, Stratton grabbed the rope during the pin fall to force a break. I almost forgot to mention the earlier part where Naomi came down to the ring with a steel chair, presumably to try to ruin the end of the match. Jade Cargill chased her away, but Nia later got her hands on the chair that Naomi left behind. This proved to be her undoing when Stratton dropkicked it into her face. That led to another PME, which kept Jax down for the three count this time. Just like that, Tiffany Stratton is still your WWE women's champion.
