Blake Monroe to Make WWE SmackDown Debut

Blake Monroe will make her in-ring debut on WWE SmackDown after months of anticipation. The former WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion is scheduled to face Giulia, a former WWE Women’s U.S. Champion, in a match that rekindles their rivalry from 2023.

Monroe previously attacked Giulia during her live on-screen debut in late June but has not competed since then. Their ongoing feud coincides with the return of Randy Orton at SummerSlam, and both Orton and Cody Rhodes are expected to appear on the show.

Additionally, Tama & Talla Tonga will defend their WWE Tag Team titles against former champions Damian Priest and R-Truth. This match is part of a lineup that also includes a WWE title match between CM Punk and Kevin Owens, taking place this Friday in Toronto, Canada.
