WATCH: New Star Makes Save In WWE SmackDown Debut
Welcome to the show. It would be an understatement to say that WWE’s roster has been shaken up in recent months, as well over a hundred wrestlers have been released from the company. That has resulted in quite the set of changes, some of which have been quite noticeable. Some of those spots are going to need to be filled, and one might have been covered this week.
Xia Li made her SmackDown debut this week, saving Naomi from a three on one attack. Naomi had been scheduled to face Sonya Deville, who had Natalya and Shayna Baszler there to help. The match never started as Naomi tried to fight all three, drawing out Li for the save. Li wrestled in NXT for years and has had vignettes airing about her impending debut for the last few weeks.
It was a nice debut. Check out Li’s first night on SmackDown plus some of her time in NXT:

Opinion: This has me interested, as Li got a great entrance and felt like a player right off the bat. Li is someone who has shown some potential down in NXT and it would be nice to have her be something on the main roster as well. WWE could absolutely use some fresh blood in the women’s division and hopefully Li gets a chance. It could be an interesting way to go, assuming she isn’t dropped in a few weeks like so many others.
What did you think of Li’s debut? What should she do next in WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
