WWE Wrestlepalooza, scheduled for tomorrow night, is set to feature five big matches, but it was initially supposed to have six. An additional bout was planned for the show and was all but announced, before things changed.

Tiffany Stratton was supposed to defend her WWE Women's Championship against Nia Jax and Jade Cargill at Wrestlepalooza. This can be confirmed by the fact that they were on the official T-shirt of the match card. The match will instead happen on next week's episode of SmackDown.

The reason for the change was initially thought to be a potential injury to Stratton. She had a painful accident during her match against Cargill on SmackDown last week, which ruled her out of action for a few days. However, according to Mike Johnson on PWInsider Elite, backstage chatter from tonight suggests The Buff Barbie is fine.

Tiffany Stratton is reportedly not injured and would have been ready for Wrestlepalooza, but WWE decided to remove the triple threat match from the card for logistical reasons. It was done to ensure the show is not overstacked.
