Marigold’s Giulia was originally expected for this Sunday’s NXT Heatwave event. However, an injury has caused to push that appearance back but she will be facing Sareee at Marigold’s nect event on July 16.
The highly decorated Japanese talent is wanted on NXT programming as soon as possible and to be at the next NXT premium live event. This will likely be SummerSlam weekend.
Per Fightful Select:
Giulia may not be at NXT Heatwave, but fans may not have too much longer to wait to see her on the brand.
Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan has had sources in both NXT and Marigold claim that she will not be present in Toronto for NXT Heatwave on Sunday, and will be on the road with Marigold this weekend. We have not heard of any plans for a video appearance from Giulia, or any other form of appearance on the show as of this writing. PWN had also noted this today.
However, in speaking with other sources in NXT, Brennan learned that the expectation is that Giulia will feature on the next NXT Premium Live Event, but there has been no confirmation on when that will be, although NXT sources believe SummerSlam weekend is a likely landing spot for NXT’s next PLE. These same sources maintain that WWE want Giulia on screen “as soon as possible” but acknowledge that Giulia has Marigold commitments to complete before this is a possibility.
With regards to her current injury, while she has yet to be cleared, the expectation with those we spoke to is that she will be cleared in time to face Sareee at Marigold Summer Destiny next weekend.
Creatively, we are told that following her injury, “everything is on the table” for how Giulia could debut on the brand, with an NXT Women’s Title challenge still expected, but not guaranteed.
For those questioning if Giulia has signed with WWE, she joined the company during WrestleMania weekend.
