In an exciting announcement by the WWE, it has been confirmed that Kiana James will be making her in-ring debut on Monday Night Raw tonight (June 3). Since her call-up from WWE NXT during the 2024 Draft, James has been seen making cameo appearances backstage but has yet to showcase her wrestling skills on the Raw brand.

Last week on the show, James managed to grab the attention of Adam Pearce, the Raw General Manager, after several unsuccessful attempts. This led to a meeting, and now it seems that her persistence has paid off as she is finally getting the opportunity to step into the ring on Raw.

James' first match as a member of the Raw roster will be against WWE veteran Natalya in a singles competition. Interestingly, this will be the second time in as many weeks that James and Natalya will face each other, as they previously battled it out on the May 20 WWE Main Event taping in Greensboro, NC.

Although Natalya is also part of the Raw roster, she has spent more time on James' former home of NXT, where she formed a successful alliance with Karmen Petrovic. However, questions have arisen about Natalya's long-term future in WWE, as there have been reports indicating that her 16-year deal with the company expires this month. While a new contract is on the table for Natalya, there have been no updates regarding her signature as of yet.

WWE fans are eagerly anticipating Kiana James' in-ring debut on Raw tonight, and the match against Natalya will surely be an exciting contest. Stay tuned for more WWE news by following the link provided.
