Summary
– Giulia, WWE’s newest signee, suffered a fractured wrist, delaying her debut.

The excitement surrounding WWE’s newest signee, Giulia, has hit a snag as she is currently sidelined with a significant injury. Recent updates suggest that WWE may need help to meet her initially planned debut date. Earlier today, it was reported that Giulia suffered a fractured wrist, sidelining her indefinitely. Following this news, NXT and WWE sources hoped Giulia might recover for NXT Heatwave.
Despite her injury, WWE is still targeting an NXT Women’s Title match between Giulia and Roxanne Perez at NXT Heatwave on July 7th. However, these plans are tentative and depend on Giulia’s progress in recovery and her commitments to Marigold.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, sources in Japan familiar with Giulia’s situation indicated that she was not expected to start with WWE so soon, even before her injury. Officials from the Marigold promotion share this belief.
“Regarding talk of Giulia potentially starting with WWE at NXT Heatwave: before Giulia was injured, it was said by those in Japan who know her, that she was not starting in WWE that soon. Marigold is also of that belief. Those close to her also say she will not be starting that soon, and all the necessary paperwork for her, her mother, and her boyfriend who are moving with her to Florida, has to be completed for her to be in NXT full-time. However, since the show is in Canada, not the U.S., the visa restrictions aren’t there so from a legal standpoint she could do the show.”
Those close to WWE’s newest recruit have indicated that Giulia’s full-time start with NXT hinges on completing the necessary paperwork for her, her mother, and her boyfriend, who are moving with her to Florida. Since NXT Heatwave is in Canada, visa restrictions do not pose an issue, making her participation legally feasible.
Moreover, Giulia is expected to lead the next class of talent reporting to the WWE Performance Center, including recruits from the recent Australia tryouts. Regardless of her debut timeline, WWE plans to maintain Giulia’s current persona, acknowledging her established identity and popularity, which will aid in her WWE journey.
