In a recent interview with Creators, Giulia reacted to the enthusiastic reception from fans during her appearance at NXT: Stand & Deliver 2024 in April.
Giulia said, “Actually, at that time, I didn’t think they were cheering for me. When I stood up, the whole venue was like, “Whoaaaaaa!”, so I thought, “Maybe some amazing celebrity has come?” Even if I tried to check it on the screen, the big monitor screen in the venue was right above me, so I couldn’t see anything (laughs). Even when someone said, “That was a huge cheer!” I thought, “Was that for me?” When I checked the video later, I had such a goofy look on my face, and I thought, “How embarrassing!” No, on the contrary, I was like, “There’s no way people would cheer for me this much!” The scale is different from Japan, and I was just like, “Did someone come? Dwayne Johnson?” (laughs)”
As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, Giulia is about to commence her full-time career in WWE NXT. Due to her loyalty to Rossy Ogawa, Giulia has been involved with Ogawa’s new promotion, Dream Star Fighting Marigold. She will wrestle her final match in Japan on August 19.
Giulia signed with WWE earlier this year and is expected to debut at NXT: Heatwave 2024.
