Kiana James

Kiana James is a character I enjoy on principle. Wrestling under that ring name on WWE's SmackDown, she's built a persona while being a former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion alongside Fallon Henley, which tells me she can work as part of a team as well as solo. Coming out of Sioux City, Iowa, born in 1997, she's part of the younger wave reshaping the women's division. Her X handle ties straight to her WWE identity, which is smart self-branding in a business that lives and dies on character. I'm interested to see whether the corporate-shark gimmick gets the singles spotlight it seems built for.
