Blake Monroe has explained why she attacked Giulia and prevented herself from having her main roster debut on this week’s WWE Smackdown. As noted, Monroe attacked Giulia before their scheduled match was able to start and laid her former STARDOM colleague out with a Neutralizer before leaving.

In a video posted to the WWE Twitter account, Monroe declared that she refused to have her in-ring debut go down like that. She said that she wanted Chelsea Green for her first match.

“That’s not my debut,” Monroe told the camera while walking backstage. “I didn’t wait four months getting called up to Smackdown, and I didn’t wait nine years to make it to the WWE, to have my debut like that.”

She continued, “I’m World Championship material. So you find Chelsea Green, you bring her to me, and then you get The Glamour. Until then, get out my face.”

Green is the current and injured WWE Women’s Champion and has 23 days to get cleared and defend her title. It is not clear when Blake Monroe will ultimately have her first match.
