Returning WWE star teases alliance with United States women’s champion Giulia
Kiana James returned to the ring on Friday night’s taping of WWE Main Event in a match against Michin just prior to SmackDown’s live broadcast. This was Kiana’s first match since June of 2024 when she competed in a Money in the Bank qualifier on WWE RAW against Iyo SKY and Zelina Vega.

Kiana also appeared in a WWE SmackDown backstage segment with Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. Kiana was seen in the background with United States women’s champion Giulia while holding her signature briefcase.
It was previously reported that WWE is said to be “very high” on Kiana and it’s believed that she impressed “a lot of people” with her work in the ring.
