Reigning Women’s United States Champion Giulia recently opened up about her transition from NXT to the main roster, her thoughts on being a two-time US Champion, and adapting to the WWE style of wrestling.

The Beautiful Madness arrived on the main roster post-WrestleMania 41. After making a few appearances on Monday Night RAW, Giulia eventually joined the SmackDown roster. She subsequently allied with Kiana James and is currently in her second reign as the Women’s United States Champion.

Giulia recently spoke to Adam Barnard of The Sportster, where she was asked about her transition from NXT to the main roster, among other things.

Below are the highlights:

Giulia on her transition from WWE NXT to the main roster

“I think everyone in the main roster can perform for the people all over the world, and it’s a new experience for me. Yeah, it’s not easy, but I like it. I’m still learning, but I will never stop learning, and I will never stop evolving.”

On what being a two-time US Champion means to her

“I came here with Japanese strong style. That’s my foundation, and yeah, using it and being the United States Champion makes me so proud.”

Did she face difficulty in transitioning from Japanese strong style to the WWE style of wrestling

“Yes, but it is fun. It’s difficult. It’s so difficult, actually. But yeah, I said I like learning. I like even struggling.”
