Monroe was being interviewed about her decision to attack Giulia the previous week rather than go through with her scheduled SmackDown debut match.
She rejected the suggestion that she had jeopardized her own debut and instead claimed the match was beneath her. Monroe then questioned why Nick Aldis would put a superstar like her in that situation in the first place.
Monroe added that she would only make her official debut when WWE provides an opponent she believes meets her standards, along with an entrance worthy of what she called “the Glamour.”
She did not get much further before Giulia suddenly appeared and attacked her backstage.
The two women struggled as officials rushed in to separate them, with Monroe screaming as Giulia continued trying to get at her.
The confrontation added another chapter to a rivalry that has already prevented Monroe’s official SmackDown debut from taking place. With both women now escalating matters physically, their issues appear far from settled.
