Hold onto your belts, folks, because WWE has decided that Giulia isn’t just a wrestling sensation; she’s now trademark gold. Yes, you heard that right—WWE has filed to lock down the name “Giulia” like they’re trying to patent the secret formula for grandma’s famous cookies. And why not? With her meteoric rise from STARDOM to the NXT stage, this star’s name has already made waves, and WWE is clearly not messing around when it comes to branding.
According to a filing made with the ever-exciting United States Patent and Trademark Office, WWE has staked their claim to the name “Giulia” under their usual “entertainment services” category. Now, this is classic WWE, ensuring that everything from t-shirts to foam fingers with “Giulia” emblazoned on them is securely under their umbrella.
The big question now: Will WWE end up owning the Giulia name completely? Or, in the event of any future departures (heaven forbid), will Giulia walk away with her identity intact? That remains unclear for now, but if you’ve been around the block in the wrestling world, you know that trademark filings can sometimes get as tangled as an eight-man tag team match.
Regardless of all the legal mumbo-jumbo, Giulia isn’t here just to get her name slapped on a hoodie. She’s gunning for gold—specifically, NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez’s title. After her debut confrontation at No Mercy and a challenge for Perez’s belt on last night’s NXT, the tension is building faster than WWE can trademark everything from wrestling moves to catchphrases.
Mark your calendars for October 1st, when Giulia steps into the ring to face Perez on NXT’s big debut episode on The CW. It’s Giulia vs. Perez, trademark drama aside, and it’s going to be yuge.
