On the last week’s Friday Night SmackDown, Emma made a surprise return to WWE and answered Ronda Rousey’s open challenge for SmackDown Women’s Championship but unsuccessful in dethroning Ronda Rousey. Emma was let go by WWE on October 29, 2017. She went on to have a successful run with IMPACT Wrestling, where she performed under her real name, Tenille Dashwood.
According to the Fightful Select reports, the Australian superstar Emma was not hidden backstage during the Friday Night SmackDowm. Although this runs the risk of her return getting leaked, why WWE management decided to take the route is not yet known.

This reports also further stated that the higher-ups didn’t keep former Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura a secret either for his spot on the show. Nakamura was revealed as the mystery partner for Hit Row in their six-man tag team match against Legado Del Fantasma.
Several weeks ago, Madcap Moss and Emma made their relationship public on social media, leaving the entire wrestling community abuzz. Following Emma’s WWE return, the former Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner Madcap Moss took to Twitter to express how proud and happy he was to see his partner back in WWE.
This was a special moment to witness, made astronomically better knowing how much it meant to her and how hard she worked to get it. Welcome home @TenilleDashwood, can’t wait to watch the journey continue https://t.co/RZykJWMnGz
