Giulia wins Women’s title at WWE NXT New Year’s Evil
Giulia has won her first gold in WWE.
In the opening match of NXT New Year’s Evil in Los Angeles, Giulia kicked off the new year by defeating Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s title. This ends Perez’s 274 day reign with the title after defeating Lyra Valkyria at NXT Stand and Deliver last April.
The finish of Tuesday’s match had Cora Jade interfere, helping Perez back into the ring as both women were on the outside. Perez hit pop rocks and went for an armbar as the referee sent Jade to the back. Giulia cut off Perez and hit the second northern lights bomb of the match to win the championship.
Giulia made her debut for WWE back at No Mercy in September, directly confronting Perez. The two faced off on the CW premiere episode of NXT the following month, with Perez emerging as the winner. Giulia regained momentum after winning the NXT Iron Survivor Challenge at the Deadline premium live event last month, earning herself another shot at the NXT Women’s title.
