Michin Shocks WWE, Sets Sights on Giulia’s U.S. Title
On the latest episode of SmackDown in Lyon, France, the WWE Universe witnessed a whirlwind moment that turned into one of the biggest stories of the night. Michin, who has been chasing an opportunity for the WWE Women’s United States Championship, was given a chance to earn her shot. But there was a condition—she first had to go through Kiana James, who had recently aligned herself with the reigning champion, Giulia.
The stipulation set the tone for what seemed like it would be a hard-fought contest. However, what unfolded was something no one could have predicted. As soon as the bell rang, James rushed toward Michin, swinging her purse as a weapon. In an instant, Michin countered, rolling her up for a lightning-fast pinfall that ended the match in just a matter of seconds. The crowd erupted in surprise as Michin secured the win and officially became the number one contender.

The champion made a statement by brutally laying out Michin, locking her into a punishing submission before slamming her face-first into the steel steps at ringside. The scene left Michin battered on the arena floor, while Giulia stood tall, clearly sending a message about what awaits in their inevitable clash.
This rivalry has been building for weeks, ever since Giulia appointed James as her representative. James first took on the role shortly after Giulia won the championship from Zelina Vega earlier this summer. That victory marked Giulia’s first reign with the title, and since then, she has carried herself with confidence, even dismissing the belt as merely a stepping stone in her career. The arrogance she displayed has made her one of the most talked-about names on the roster, and her partnership with James only adds to the intrigue.
For Michin, this moment marks both triumph and danger. At 36, she has been chasing championship gold in WWE but has yet to secure her first title. Now, with a guaranteed shot against Giulia, she stands on the brink of the biggest opportunity of her career. The way she won may have been unexpected, but the road ahead is certain to be much tougher.
No official date has been announced for their championship showdown, but fans are already buzzing. It will be the first singles encounter between Michin and Giulia, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. After the brutal assault that closed out SmackDown, the message was clear: Giulia is not willing to give up her title without a fight. And for Michin, the journey to finally become a champion may be her hardest battle yet.
