Giulia Tells Kiana James That Their Friendship Is ‘Over’

During last week’s WWE SmackDown, tensions boiled over between Giulia and Kiana James. James got into an argument with Giulia after she lost her Queen of the Ring tournament bout, and James blamed Giulia for her loss. Giulia then snapped and attacked her friend and former associate.

WWE has now released a backstage video of Giulia, with the former WWE Women’s United States Champion telling James that “it’s over” between the two of them, adding “Arrivederci” and “Sayonara.”

Kiana James and Giulia are now both out of the Queen of the Ring tournament. Giulia lost her own matchup on last week’s WWE Raw. Iyo Sky won the matchup, which also featured Lash Legend and Roxanne Perez, to advance in the tournament.

Giulia later rebounded with a victory over Jordynne Grace on the June 11 episode of WWE Main Event.
