Digital Exclusives Reveal Missing Teeth and Backstage Grievances

In a backstage segment, a distraught Monroe handed SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis a bag containing her own teeth, which she stated were knocked out by Giulia’s running knee during a previous altercation. I have something for you, Monroe told Aldis as she handed him the bag. A little gift. Those are my teeth. And you can thank Giulia for that. Last week, I was ready to have my debut. And I was so ready. People like Giulia deserve consequences. And I trust, as GM, you will do the right thing. Giulia fired back in a separate promo video released the same afternoon, stating that Monroe previously viewed her as unworthy of a match until a missing tooth motivated her to demand a bout. Blake, I thought I was less than you, Giulia said during her promo. You said I was not worthy. That you deserved a better opponent. Because I messed up your face. Lucky you for, I was always willing to fight.
