WWE’s Tiffany Stratton, the 27-year-old everybody calls “Buff Barbie,” went for a Swanton Bomb off a ladder at Money in the Bank in New Orleans on Saturday night and came up short. Her head slammed into the floor and the whole arena went quiet.
Officials rushed in and the match stopped while they checked on her. Stratton sat up holding her head, then told the medical team she wanted to keep going. So she did.
Oh my gosh, I haven’t even recovered yet. I’m sitting here, my neck still hurts, but I wanted to do anything it took to get that briefcase. So I told medical I was okay and wanted to power through.

She went on to beat Roxanne Perez, Lash Legend, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, and Jacy Jayne in the six-woman ladder match. The finish came down to her and Legend trading shots at the top of a ladder, until Stratton clocked her with the briefcase itself and unhooked the contract. She is now the second woman ever to win Money in the Bank twice.
Backstage afterward she ran into streamer Cinna and said she was doing okay despite the hard bump, and that she plans to give the briefcase another Tiffy-style makeover, like the pink rhinestone one from her 2024 run. Toughness plus Tiffy Time. The briefcase is hers again.
