Giulia Reflects On Adjusting To WWE’s Style, Names Favorite WWE Matches So Far

Giulia says that it’s been tough adjusting to WWE’s style, but it’s a challenge that she enjoys undertaking. The Japanese star signed with WWE in mid-2024 and, since then, has found a lot of success, including a couple reigns with the WWE United States Championship.

Giulia spent some time in NXT before joining the main roster last year, and since she got called up, she’s had matches with a number of WWE’s top stars. She reflected on the adjustment to WWE in an interview with Adrian Hernandez, and you can see highlights below:

On Adjusting to WWE’s Style:

“Yeah, everything’s so different, and it’s not easy to adjust [to] American style. But I think the wrestlers in WWE must be smart, because we have to fight while even thinking about the timing of commercials. We don’t have that in Japan. So yeah, totally different. It’s really challenging, but I’m getting understanding. And yeah, it was fun. I like [it].”

On Her Moment With IYO SKY and Asuka at the Royal Rumble:

“It was so fun. But it was so hard, but it’s not enough. Not enough, no, no, no, no, no. I think it’s just [a] greeting. So, I’m expecting more and more and more and more.”

On Her Favorite Matches In WWE So Far:

“Yeah, of course. Giulia versus Rhea [Ripley on SmackDown earlier this month], of course. And Jordynne Grace, of course [was a] favorite match. And then also Zelina versus Giulia in Saudi, the first United States Championship [between them]. I didn’t expect she is so tough like that. But I think size doesn’t matter. She’s amazing, and I just want
to wrestle again with Zelina and Jordynne.”
