The stars of WWE are currently in London, England for a set of TV tapings that kicked off yesterday with Monday Night Raw. The tapings continued today with Friday Night SmackDown and the show featured a big debut.
During SmackDown, Giulia faced off against Kiana James, and Blake Monroe finally made her debut on the blue brand when she attacked Giulia. For months now WWE has been teasing Blake Monroe’s arrival with a series of vignettes. Now it seems that a rivalry with Giulia will be her first feud on the main roster.
