Blake Monroe Promo 

Dear, Diary, I’ve seen this girl before. Giulia, we met once before in the land of the rising sun, and I knew when I saw you then that you had the aura and the presence to make it to the dance. Congrats, you made it, but you’ve seemed to forget the steps. And don’t get me wrong, your rage, it’s very intimidating, but I think it’s clouding your judgment, whereas me, well, I can see quite clearly, and it looks like there’s a starring role just waiting to be filled. And who better to fill your screens than The Glamour? I mean, I have a vision to look at, after all. Don’t cry when I pass you by, because The Glamour is coming soon to SmackDown.

Giulia Promo 

Many places have made me the fighter I am today. I started my career in Japan, the nation of my mother. I got real with Kiana in Italy, the nation of my father. I won the Women’s United States Championship, here in the US, and next week, SmackDown is coming to the city I was born, London. Kiana, it’s time we go our separate ways, and what better place to end this than where it all started for me? Next week in London, we will see, once and for all, which one of us is better without the other.

Liv Morgan Promo 

Oh, Charlotte, I know how badly you want to be Queen Of The Ring. It’s just a shame that your run stops here. I don’t care about how many championships that you’ve won or what you’ve done in the past, because that’s exactly what you are, the past. This tournament is all about proving who’s the best of the best. And unfortunately, Charlotte, it’s just not you anymore. So, tonight, I’m coming to SmackDown to show you what happens when you’re in the presence of the greatest Women’s World Champion of all-time, and the first champion to become Queen Of The Ring. Sincerely, THE Liv Morgan.
