Giulia remains United States Women’s Champion on WWE SmackDown

Esta noche, SmackDown celebrated a special edition full of surprises. Where John Cena's last appearance on the blue brand ended with a brutal attack by Brock Lesnar, while the night also saw the long-awaited return of AJ Lee. In addition, the United States Champion, Giulia, achieved a new successful defense of her title.

In an intense match, Giulia and Michin took the action to the limit. The challenger took an early advantage, forcing the champion to retreat. However, Giulia changed the course of the match with a brutal neckbreaker on the edge of the ring, punishing Michin's neck and taking control.

Giulia continued her attack with a series of kicks and submissions that weakened her opponent. Despite the punishment, Michin showed great resilience and managed to respond with DDTs and suplexes to even the contest. The match turned into a back-and-forth exchange that left both wrestlers exhausted and lying on the mat.

Just when victory seemed within reach for either, Kiana James intervened by distracting Michin. Giulia took advantage of the confusion to hit her G-Trigger and seal the victory by a count of three. After the match, Kiana James attacked Michin again with a briefcase.
