While she was called up to Raw last year, Kiana James only wrestled twice on the show due to suffering a serious knee injury. Yet despite this career setback, it’s known she has been working hard to make a return to the ring. And now, suggesting she could be about to make her SmackDown television debut, Fightful Select has reported she’ll be in attendance at tonight’s show.
28-year-old James, real name Kayla Klingensmith, broke into the wrestling business in 2021, with her first official match being for AEW during a Dark taping. In this, the rookie wrestler would compete under the name Xtina Kay and put over The Bunny in a short match. From there, she continued to work enhancement matches for AEW although it would be WWE that signed her and had her wrestling on NXT just two months later.
