Folks, gather around because we’ve got some hot news straight from the wrestling grapevine! The much-anticipated debut of former STARDOM star Giulia in WWE NXT is on the horizon, but don’t set your alarms for NXT Heatwave just yet. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Giulia’s big moment isn’t scheduled for the upcoming premium live event.
Injury and Recovery
Giulia, the wrestling sensation, is currently nursing a wrist injury that’s putting a pause on her WWE NXT debut. The injury means she won’t be clashing with NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at Heatwave, much to the disappointment of fans and pundits who were itching for that showdown. Instead, Perez will defend her title against Lola Vice at the event.
Future Plans and Commitments
Despite the setback, WWE is reportedly playing the long game with Giulia. The former STARDOM star is expected to make her WWE debut toward the end of the year, once she’s fully healed and wrapped up her commitments elsewhere. In the meantime, she’s slated to compete against Sareee at Marigold’s Summer Destiny event on July 13, hinting that her recovery is on track.
Patience Pays Off
WWE has even suggested Giulia undergo surgery to ensure a full recovery, showing their commitment to her long-term potential. This patient approach underscores their high hopes for Giulia’s future on the NXT roster.
Teasing the Inevitable
Giulia was spotted ringside at NXT Stand and Deliver earlier this year, fueling speculation about her imminent arrival. While WWE fans will have to wait a bit longer for her debut, the silver lining is that she’ll be back in action elsewhere soon, keeping her skills sharp and the excitement alive.
