Title match added to WWE SmackDown lineup

WWE continues to load up the card for tonight’s SmackDown in Chicago.

It’s been announced that Women’s United States Champion Giulia will be in action tonight, putting her title on the line against Michin. Last week, Michin quickly defeated Kiana James to earn the title shot but was beaten down by Giulia and James.

Giulia won the Women’s U.S. Championship from Zelina Vega more than two months ago and has only made one defense since then, defeating Vega in a rematch. The alliance between Giulia and James formed in July with James now serving as Giulia’s “official representation” on SmackDown.

Another new match has also been added to tonight’s show with rivals Damian Priest and Aleister Black set to face off.

Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois is hosting tonight’s event, which will feature John Cena’s last-ever SmackDown appearance.
