Tiffany Stratton secured her place in the women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match with a triple threat victory over Tatum Paxley and Candice LeRae on SmackDown. Her closing moonsault earned the decisive pinfall and sent her to New Orleans.
Paxley delivered a strong performance, using a moonsault and a kick to the back of the neck as she pursued the qualifying spot. Stratton remained involved throughout, interrupting a potential superplex before building momentum with handspring stunners.
Stratton then hit LeRae with an Alabama Slam and followed with a Swanton. Paxley quickly answered with a spinning kick, covering Stratton for a near fall.
The opportunities kept shifting as all three competitors fought to finish the match. Stratton attempted to catch Paxley with a roll-up, but Paxley escaped and responded with Cemetery Drive.
LeRae prevented that move from producing a victory, then tried to claim the pinfall herself. Paxley broke up the cover, keeping her own Money in the Bank hopes alive.
A headbutt from Paxley added to the frantic closing exchange. Stratton ultimately found her opening and landed the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to secure the win.
Paxley and LeRae both came close, but Stratton left with the opportunity they were chasing. She now moves into the ladder match with a chance to claim the briefcase in New Orleans.
