The rumors were indeed true around Giulia making her move to the WWE and it happened at the NXT No Mercy 2024 premium live event, last night. She was quick to make an impact by coming out and focusing on the NXT Women’s Championship held by Roxanne Perez.
In one of the headliner matches of NXT No Mercy 2024, an event that took place at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, Roxanne Perez defeated Jaida Parker to retain her NXT Women’s Championship. Parker put up a great fight against the veteran champion in her first attempt at the NXT women’s title but her injured ribs turned out to be a deciding factor.

Proving the speculations right, a new theme music started playing, as Giulia came out of the smoke, making her WWE debut on the NXT No Mercy 2024 premium live event. She entered the ring and stared down Perez, who held the NXT Women’s Championship high above her head to close out the segment. After the debut, WWE CCO Triple H touted how Giulia is the next bright superstar of the NXT women’s division.
