Popular WWE Superstar makes surprising request ahead of SummerSlam
WWE Superstars are on the road to SummerSlam currently. One veteran fan-favorite is having somewhat of a resurgence and is looking to make a major presentation change.
Mia Yim is the only WWE Superstar of Korean descent. The 15-year wrestling veteran made her main roster debut in The Mae Young Classic, representing her mother's homeland. The recent name change also reflects Yim's heritage as "Michin" which means "crazy" in Korean and was her childhood nickname from her mother.
Michin seems to be a big fan of XG aka Xtraordinary Girls. While the Japanese girl group is based in South Korea, some fans do not see them as K-pop artists, but rather, as closer to hip-hop and R&B artists. In response to XG's new performance video for their 'Undefeated' single, Yim took to X (fka Twitter) and called on the seven-member group to provide her with a new theme song.
"New entrance music please 🙏 @XGOfficial_," Mia Yim wrote.
XG has not publicly responded to the SmackDown superstar as of this writing. She is currently using 'I Am' by Def Rebel and Naomi Fox as her theme, which she's had since December 2022. In addition to her themes with RETRIBUTION and The O.C., Yim first used 'Number One' by CFO$ in the Stamford-based promotion.
Mia Yim on WWE SmackDown tonight
World Wrestling Entertainment's final SmackDown before the SummerSlam go-home episode will air tonight on FOX. The episode was previously taped at the CHI Center in Omaha, NE.
Mia Yim has helped Bayley lately in her battle with Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax, ahead of The Role Model defending her WWE Women's Championship against The Irresistible Force at SummerSlam. Stratton and Jax defeated Michin in March and June respectively, and then Jax defeated Yim again on July 12 due to interference.
Last week's SmackDown saw Michin defeat The Blonde Bombshell thanks to Bayley. Now the rivalry is set to continue on tonight's SmackDown with tag team action.
"WWE Women's Champion Bayley will team up with Michin to take on 2024 Queen of the Ring Nia Jax and Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton. Bayley helped Michin score a win over Stratton on the most recent episode of SmackDown and destroyed the Money in the Bank briefcase in the process. Jax and Stratton have allied in recent months, but with both of them eyeing the WWE Women's Title, can they coexist as tag team partners? Find out at 8/7 C on FOX," reads the official match preview in the company's official website.
Bayley destroyed Stratton's Money In the Bank briefcase last week. The rumor mill indicates that we may see a new custom briefcase for The Buff Barbie soon.
