I'd put that under the same general heading as "call up Bahamut to oppose her". That's beings already in her weight class weighing in to tip the scales. Plus while she was stymied, she obviously wasn't truly destroyed, so there's that too.
Wait, are you saying Raistlin / Fistandantilus didn’t Life/Soul suck her? That is REALLY not the way I remember it, unless your maybe replying to someone else or something?

Based on the fact that she's still a going concern in the multiverse and there's a loose degree of continuity across the novels, yeah. I mean, it was still a power move, but the end result was a KO, not a Fatality.

I'm not really sure what event you're referring to. There were only two incidents I recall of Tiamat dying in Dragonlance:
First during the Bad Future in the Twins trilogy when Raistlin killed all the gods and then destroyed the world because he was evil and "evil can never create, only destroy." (Never mind that Tiamat was functionally Dragonlance's Satan and had been responsible for creating quite a bit of the setting and the life in it.) That was all undone by time travel.
Second when the other gods finally returned to Krynn after over a century of absence (revealed to be because Tiamat had hidden the world away from them after the defeat of Chaos in the War of Souls in an attempt to claim it all for herself). All the other gods declared that she'd gone too far and had her stripped of her godhood and one of the people in the audience gave her a trip to Stabby Town. That only applied to Dragonlance and had no impact on the rest of the D&D Multiverse.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

Like everyone has said, Tiamat would win Easily. Max twenty rounds, and in dnd that's like 2 minutes.
