Giulia finds unlikely ally following NXT Deadline; WWE star surprisingly saves the Iron Survivor from Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade

Giulia opened this week's episode of WWE NXT after winning the Women's Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline last week. She was confronted by Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez, and a brawl erupted in the ring.

The Beautiful Madness stated that since she was the Iron Survivor, she will do what she came to NXT for. She sent a message to Roxy, telling her that she'll become the NXT Women's Champion at New Year's Evil. The Prodigy showed up and congratulated her future opponent. However, she said Giulia was still not on her level, and reminded everyone that she had beaten her before.

She then said that the result would be the same at New Year's Evil as it's been for the past year. Roxanne Perez told Giulia that she will fall short of her again if she made it to Los Angeles. The Japanese star challenged her to a fight, but Cora Jade showed up holding a baseball bat. She told Giulia that she won't make it to LA because of them.

​

Jade said Stephanie Vaquer wasn't going to come out to save her friend, and a video popped up on the screen revealing that Vaquer was attacked backstage. Roxanne Perez and Jade started attacking Giulia, and Kelani Jordan came out to make the save. The former NXT Women's North American Champion saving Giulia was a surprise, as most fans were expecting Stephanie. It will be interesting to see how this story develops in the coming days.
