Giulia discussed the pressure of moving to the United States to sign with the WWE
Giulia has officially moved to the United States after finishing up in Japan. The former Stardom wrestler opened up about the pressure of moving to a new country.
Speaking in an interview with Tokyo Sports, Giulia stated she wants to continue growing and learning as a professional wrestler. She said:
"The pressure is immense. Over there, the scale and style of fighting are different from Japan—everything is a whole other world. But while valuing everything I've done up until now, I want to learn each thing thoroughly in this new place and continue to grow. Of course, at lightning speed. I’m determined to rise up all at once,"
At No Mercy, Giulia confronted Roxanne Perez after she successfully retained the NXT Women's Championship against Jaida Parker. She could be in line for a shot at the championship in the near future.
Meanwhile, SKY is currently signed to Monday Night RAW. She is a member of Damage CTRL and has been teaming up with Kairi Sane. The duo were recently victorious over Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark on RAW.
