Spider-Man vs The Cheetha

Not really. Note she wasn't tied up, just grabbing and pulling.

Nah, other characters have done similar under similar circumstances.

Magic character ambushes Superman offguard, stuns him, and choke for a finisher is actually more than what Captain Marvel did to take him out in Morrison's JLA, for example.

It's a magic herald level ambush, it's really not that weird.

Diana noted that she was immune to lasso.

Again, she wasn't tied up with it. It's sometimes been portrayed as having influence just on the touch, but not as much as fully restrained.

It takes explicit magic to harm superman directly. He has shrugged off etrigan's punch to the moon. Cap used magic lightning and is a peer to him strength wise, cheetah isn't anywhere near that level as portrayed in that instance. Name just one other character who has choked out superman who is far below him in strength.

Superman himself compared the blows to Captain Marvel and Diana "in that instance," so it's really hard to say where you're getting 'isn't anywhere near that level in that instance' from. We know exactly where Cheetah was in that instance- around CM and WW level.

Note also the choke was just a finisher. There were repeated blows to stun him first, and we see from Clark's outfit later there was clawing involved too. It was an ambush with several strong blows delivered first.

You seem to really want Cheetah to be weaker for some reason, but in terms of pure strength, Cheetah- a god, mind you, and most DC gods are herald level- is roughly on par with WW both historically and in most recent showings.
