Tiffany Stratton and Jordynne Grace will compete for a title shot on WWE SmackDown

WWE will celebrate a new episode of Friday Night SmackDown tonight from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This will be the company's last show before WrestleMania 42 and will feature the confirmed presence of several of its stars, in addition to the traditional Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

In addition, there will be a women's match pitting Tiffany Stratton against Jordynne Grace for a shot at the United States Championship, currently held by Giulia. The company has not yet confirmed when this title defense will take place. 

Also, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria will face Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair in a tag team match. It is worth noting that both teams will be part of the fatal four-way match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania. Last week, Alexa defeated Bayley in a singles match while taking advantage of her opponent's distraction with "The Queen".
