As seen at the 2024 WWE NXT Stand and Deliver PLE, international wrestling star Giulia was shown at ringside with William Regal. Fightful.com noted the following in regards to Giulia’s potential in WWE NXT…

“Those in NXT that we spoke to continue to push that Giulia will be presented as the female face of the brand upon her arrival, with one source expecting her to surpass what Asuka achieved in NXT during her run.”

During Marigold’s inaugural show Marigold Fields Forever at Tokyo’s Korakuen Hall on May 20th, Giulia sustained a fractured wrist. Despite her injury, it’s believed that WWE is looking to book an NXT Women’s title match between Giulia and champion Roxanne Perez at NXT Heatwave on July 7th in Toronto, Canada.

Corey Brennan of Fightful also wrote the following via Twitter/X…

“Those I’ve spoken to in Japan believe that she will begin in NXT as an attraction before officially starting when they announce the next PC class. She will continue to work Marigold simultaneously with WWE. Before her injury, it was the TARGET by WWE, but was dependent on Giulia’s Marigold dates. It still is. When I asked about Visa issues, I was told the same thing about Heatwave taking place in Canada.”
