Smackdown kicks off with Tiffany Stratton, Alex Bliss and Charlotte Flair Tiffany Stratton talks about how last year she was gearing up for Money in the Bank and one year later she’s women’s champion. She talks about defeating Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax. She says whoever tries cashing in on her… Alexa Bliss interrupts Stratton. Bliss says they have never formally met, and introduces herself as an ex MiTB winner and Women’s Champion. She says she needs the briefcase and it’s business, it’s nothing personal. Bliss tells Stratton that she better hope Bliss doesn’t win as she vows to dethrone Stratton. Charlotte Flair comes out to the ring. Flair says she’s known for her humility. She says she’s here to humbly congratulate Stratton and then tells her that it won’t last forever. Flair says she’s never won Money in the Bank and when she wins, she will take the title back from Stratton and she plans on taking back the spotlight. She says when she wants something she doesn’t wait, she just takes it. Stratton calls Bliss and Flair vintage and calls them the standard anc calls herself the Upgrade and reminds them it’s always Tiffy Time – she drops her mic and leaves and as she’s leaving Giulia comes out for her match and they cross paths.
