Popular Tag Team Splits Up on WWE SmackDown

WWE SmackDown featured the end of Giulia and Kiana James’ partnership.

This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown is currently underway at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy. The opening match of the night was the Queen of the Ring Tournament first-round fatal-four-way contest between Bayley, Raquel Rodriguez, Jacy Jayne, and Kiana James. Giulia was at ringside in James’ corner.

Then Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez dominated most of the match and emerged victorious in the end to advance to the semifinals, where she will take on IYO SKY. Apart from that, the final moments of the match featured some chaos when Kiana James rolled up Bayley for the pin and had her feet on the middle rope to gain more leverage.

Jacey Jayne broke the pin by pushing Kiana James’ feet off the rope. Giulia then took out Jayne in retaliation for attacking her moments before. However, when James looked back, she thought her partner was the one who knocked her off. She began arguing with the former Women’s United States Champion, accusing her of costing her the victory, and Raquel Rodriguez used the distraction to hit the Tejana Bomb on James to get the win.

After the match, Giulia tried to smooth things over with Kiana James. However, the latter, unaware that she had misunderstood the whole situation, angrily ended her partnership with The Beautiful Madness and shoved her.

Kiana James then continued yelling at Giulia, saying she would be nothing without her. The latter, who had heard enough at one point, snapped and attacked James to send her out of the ring. They began their on-screen partnership in July 2025, and it has come to an unceremonious end today on SmackDown.
