Blake Monroe finally knows who she will face in her first WWE main roster match, and the opponent is Giulia. WWE revealed the news in an off‑air backstage segment released after the August 14 episode of SmackDown. The footage featured Monroe speaking with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, who made it clear that her debut match is no longer a mystery.
Aldis told Monroe that several women on the roster had complained about her attacking people from behind. He said it was time for her to step into the ring and deal with someone face‑to‑face. In the segment, Aldis joked about the idea being simple but necessary, saying, “It seems like they’re not very fond of being attacked from behind. So I decided maybe it was time — revolutionary idea, I know — that instead of doing that, you had a match in the ring, one‑on‑one with one of them.”
Monroe liked the idea but immediately tried to take control of the situation. She suggested making her debut against Chelsea Green for the WWE Women’s Championship and joked that she could handle Aldis’ job for him. Her confidence didn’t sway the General Manager, who reminded her that she wouldn’t be choosing her opponent.
Blake Monroe First WWE Opponent
That’s when Giulia entered the scene. Aldis revealed that she would be the one standing across from Monroe in her first SmackDown match. He added that Giulia had already made her intentions clear, saying, “I think she said that she can’t wait to be the one to give you a beating in your first match.”
Giulia welcomed Monroe to SmackDown and promised to make her debut a painful one. The moment set the tone for their upcoming match, giving Monroe her first official opponent since joining the main roster.
The reveal ends weeks of speculation surrounding Monroe’s debut. She has appeared in backstage segments, confronted Giulia, and continued to get television time without stepping into the ring. Monroe has joked about the situation repeatedly, while fans questioned when WWE would finally book her first match. Now the wait is over. Blake Monroe vs. Giulia is officially happening on WWE SmackDown, though the off‑air footage did not include a date for the match.
