WWE Hall of Famer criticizes how Giulia was booked during RAW in Italy

As seen during the June 1st 2026 edition of WWE RAW, Iyo Sky won a four-way match by pinning Giulia to advance in the Queen of the Ring tournament. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray called out how Giulia was booked…

“I did not like the fact that Giulia ate the pin. And I don’t think a lot of people know this, although they did say it on commentary during her entrance, Giulia is Italian. Giulia is half-Italian and she’s half-Japanese. Giulia speaks fluent Italian. I would have loved to have seen Giulia some promo time, make more of a connection with that crowd, and not do the J-O-B.”

“They’re in Italy last night. That would’ve been a great opportunity to have her cut a thirty second promo. ‘Ciao Torino. Il sono Giulia.’ Start talking in Italian, and then ‘Forza Torino’ [or] whatever. Like, give her a little something. Nothing. We have one talent of Italian descent, who speaks the language. I’ll be damned if I’m not going to throw her out there to cut a promo to get the crowd going.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
