The 36-year-old is in a brewing rivalry with the Women's United States Champion, Giulia, on WWE SmackDown. The Japanese star defeated Zelina Vega on the June 27 edition of the blue brand to win the title, and also defended her gold against the former champ on the August 1 episode. Interestingly, Kiana James recently returned from injury and aligned with the 31-year-old champion.

Yim shared a video on X/Twitter earlier today, revealing that she believes Kiana James will be having a family gathering in the coming hours at the restaurant she was sitting at, and that she was planning to wait for the NXT graduate. A wrestling fan responded to the video and claimed she was stalking James to get a title match against Giulia. Justifying her actions, Yim responded to suggest that it couldn't be stalking if it was fate.

"It’s not stalking if it’s fate," Yim wrote.

Giulia has not competed in a match since successfully defending the Women's United States Championship earlier this month on SmackDown against Zelina Vega.


Mia Yim opens up about not connecting with the WWE Universe

WWE star Mia Yim recently opened up about struggling to connect with wrestling fans during her time in the promotion.

In an interview with THE SPEAKEEZY, the veteran admitted that she was unsure of what her character was supposed to be in the company. She boasted about her wrestling ability but shared that she found it difficult to build a connection with the crowd.

"That’s a great question because I don’t even know my character. I can wrestle my a** off, but I know that my biggest hindrance is I have a problem connecting with the crowd because I’m still trying to figure out what my character is. [...] In wrestling, you want to have you, just accelerated times a hundred," she said.

The inaugural Women's United States Champion was crowned in December 2024. Chelsea Green defeated Mia Yim in the final of the tournament to lift the title. Only time will tell how long Giulia will be able to hold onto the gold moving forward on WWE television.
