Tonight’s open challenge opponent for Ronda Rousey on SmackDown is reportedly a familiar face that hasn’t been seen in WWE for quite some time.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Tenille Dashwood (the former Emma/Emmalina) is currently backstage at WWE SmackDown. It is expected to answer Ronda Rousey’s open challenge for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
WWE released Dashwood in October 2017, and she went on to work for Ring of Honor and IMPACT Wrestling over the last several years.
Her recent contract with IMPACT Wrestling, where she was part of The Influence tag team with Madison Rayne, reportedly expired in August.
Tenille Dashwood is also currently dating SmackDown Superstar Madcap Moss. The two have chosen to make their relationship public by posting multiple images together on their respective Instagram pages.
It’s currently unknown if this match is a one-time appearance or if WWE is signing Dashwood to a full-time deal. We should find out more information regarding this sooner rather than later.
