Giulia vs Michin At Wrestlepalooza in Extreme Rules Match?
On the August 29 episode of SmackDown, Michin won a squash match against Kiana James in under 10 seconds to earn a #1 contender shot for the U.S. title.
After the match, Giulia stormed the ring and attacked Michin ruthlessly, slamming her face into the steel steps, sending a loud and clear warning.
While WWE has not officially set the match card for Giulia vs Michin at Wrestlepalooza, Michin has earned the opportunity, so it is likely that an announcement will come soon.
If the match is not booked for Wrestlepalooza, WWE might schedule it on an upcoming episode of SmackDown, though the chances of it happening before Wrestlepalooza are slim.
Since there is more drama and tension left to build, WWE will likely use the coming episodes of SmackDown to escalate the feud. Michin could attack the champion, taking last week’s revenge, which would spark more conflict.
– Kianna has a “done deal” w/ someone 👀.

– Michin is inching closer to a US Title Shot.
– Nikki Cross is stalking Giulia.
Stories and feuds are being put into motion and a lot is happening with the GOAT. Moving slowly but surely.

On the other hand, we have Nikki Cross eyeing Giulia’s title, which could add an interesting twist to the existing feud between the stars.
There is a chance that we might see a triple threat match featuring Giulia, Nikki Cross, and Michin. If Nikki won, she might throw the belt once again in the garbage.
However, Nikki Cross’s involvement in the title picture might not be the best move for WWE right now. She may not get officially added to the match, but her presence will almost certainly affect the outcome in some way.
Extreme Rules Match in Wrestlepalooza?
With Wrestlepalooza’s date nearing, there is speculation that the September PLE could feature an Extreme Rules match, serving as an authentic homage to ECW.
Given that Giulia recently used the steel steps to brutalize Michin, the U.S. Title match being contested under Extreme Rules would be a perfect option for WWE to set up.
On the other hand, there is also a chance that the clash between John Cena and Brock Lesnar could be given the Extreme Rules stipulation.
Really hoping Wrestlepalooza will be fun event with a bunch of stipulations but man, they could've picked so many better names. Armageddon, No Way Out or even Extreme Rules. #SmackDown

The battle between “The Beast” and the 17-time World Champion would be the perfect stage for absolute in-ring destruction.
While it is not confirmed who will be involved in the Extreme Rules match, it is almost sure that at least one spot on the Wrestlepalooza card will be reserved for an Extreme Rules stipulation.
