Giulia secured the golden glory at WWE NXT New Year’s Evil, emerging victorious in a thrilling showdown against Roxanne Perez for the prestigious NXT Women’s Championship. Her journey to this championship contention was paved by a formidable win in the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge match at NXT Deadline, which earned her a well-deserved shot at the title.
The highly anticipated rematch between Perez and Giulia echoed their fierce bout during the NXT premiere on the CW Network, where "The Prodigy" had previously emerged as the victor. As the match progressed, the two women exchanged blow for blow, showcasing their exceptional wrestling prowess.
In a stunning turn of events, Cora Jade intervened in the match, aiming to propel Perez towards the championship throne. As the contest neared its climax, Jade orchestrated Perez's return to the ring, desperate to avoid a defeat due to an off-the-mat count. However, her mischievous actions were swiftly curbed, leading to her expulsion from the ringside. The match intensified, with Perez unleashing her signature maneuver, the Pop Rox, yet failing to vanquish her challenger, Giulia. At the pivotal moment, Giulia demonstrated an astonishing counterattack, delivering a precision knee strike to Perez's face. Without hesitation, she sealed her victory with a breathtaking Northern Lights Bomb, crowning herself the NXT Women’s Champion and securing her maiden WWE title in a triumphant display of athletic prowess.
Roxanne Perez had previously laid claim to the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Stand & Deliver 2024, where she overcame Lyra Valkyria to win the title. She held the esteemed belt for a remarkable 276 days before Giulia's triumph.
Giulia, a former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion, boasts an impressive resume in STARDOM as well, where she held multiple titles, including the Wonder of STARDOM Championship and the World of STARDOM Championship. Her WWE debut came in a memorable fashion at NXT No Mercy in September 2024, and now, she has etched her name in wrestling history by winning the NXT Women’s Championship.
