Bully Ray Slams WWE’s Handling of Giulia at Monday Night Raw in Italy

During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray critiqued WWE’s handling Giulia during this week’s Monday Night Raw in Turin, Italy. Bully Ray was not happy with Giulia getting pinned in her Queen of the Ring qualifying match, which was won by Iyo Sky.

Additionally, Bully Ray took issue with WWE not giving Giulia any promo time for the overseas edition of Raw, which she should have since she’s of Italian descent and also speaks the language. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on Iyo Sky Pinning Giulia

“I did not like the fact that Giulia ate the pin, and I don’t think a lot of people know this, although they did say it on commentary during her entrance, Giulia is Italian. Giulia is half-Italian and she’s half-Japanese. Giulia speaks fluent Italian. I would have loved to have seen Giulia some promo time, make more of a connection with that crowd, and not do the J-O-B.”

On Bully Ray Not Giving Giulia Any Promo Time in Italy

“They’re in Italy last night. That would’ve been a great opportunity to have her cut a thirty second promo. ‘Ciao Torino. Il sono Giulia.’ Start talking in Italian, and then ‘Forza Torino’ [or] whatever. Like, give her a little something. Nothing. We have one talent of Italian descent, who speaks the language. I’ll be damned if I’m not going to throw her out there to cut a promo to get the crowd going.”

The former WWE Women’s United States Champion received a huge ovation from the Italian crowd, which she acknowledged later on social media.
