Giulia’s next Women’s U.S. title challenger confirmed on WWE SmackDown
In a rematch from late-March, WWE Women’s United States Champion Giulia will defend against former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
Stratton defeated Jordynne Grace on Friday’s SmackDown in a title eliminator to earn the shot after a handspring stunner and then the Prettiest Moonsault Ever on Grace, staring down the champion and Kiana James who were both at ringside watching.
Giulia will be looking for just the second defense of her second reign that began in January. It will be her first defense in more than more than three months. She defeated Stratton in a non-title match on SmackDown last month.
Stratton, also a former NXT Women’s Champion, will be looking for her first Women’s U.S. title and her first championship run since her Women’s title run ended last November at the hands of Jade Cargill.
The date of the match is yet unknown, but could be announced for next week’s SmackDown.
