Tiffany Stratton shares heartwarming message ahead of high-stakes match on WWE SmackDown

Tiffany Stratton shared a heartfelt message ahead of her high-stakes match tonight on WWE SmackDown. This week's edition of the blue brand will air live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Buff Barbie will be competing in a Triple Threat qualifying match tonight in the Women's United States Championship Tournament. The first champion will be crowned next weekend at Saturday Night's Main Event. Stratton will be squaring off against Elektra Lopez and Naomi tonight in the qualifier.

Ahead of the show, Stratton took to her Instagram account to note that she was back in her hometown and shared several new photographs. You can check out her heartfelt message in the post below.

"Woke up in my hometown 🥹✨ see you tonight Minny," she wrote.

Stratton won the Money in the Bank Ladder contract earlier this year but has not cashed in for a title match yet. The 25-year-old also competed in the Women's WarGames Match this past Saturday night at Survivor Series, but her team came up short after Rhea Ripley connected with a Riptide on Liv Morgan for the pinfall victory for her team.
