Giulia has thanked the fans following WWE Raw in Italy, sharing her love for wrestling and calling the moment an extraordinary experience.
Born to a Japanese mother and Italian father, Giulia was born in London, England, moving to Japan when she was just one years of age and seeing her wrestling career grow in that country.
With the June 1 episode of WWE Raw taking place in Turin, Italy, Giulia competed in a Queen of the Ring first round match, alongside IYO SKY, Lash Legend and Roxanne Perez.
While Giulia would be unsuccessful in the Fatal Four-Way match, she would thank the fans for the reception she received at Inalpi Arena, tweeting:
“I love wrestling, I love stepping into the ring and fighting, I feel sensations I don’t know how to describe.
“It brought me back here to Italy where I found a magnificent audience that has given me an extraordinary experience, an impressive affection.
“Thank you so much. I love you all. Long live Italy
“Arrivederci‼︎”

IYO SKY would be victory in the first round match of this year’s Queen of the Ring Tournament, with the star set to face either Bayley, Raquel Rodriguez, Jacy Jayne or Kiana James in the semi-finals.
Night Of Champions Sets The Scene For WWE SummerSlam
With the King and Queen of the Ring being determined at Night of Champions on June 27 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the winner of the respective matches head to WWE SummerSlam on August 1 & 2 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The winner of the King of the Ring not only gets a crown, but a championship shot against either the World Heavyweight Champion or Undisputed WWE Champion, with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes holding those respective titles.
The Queen of the Ring will face either the Women’s World Champion, currently Liv Morgan, or the WWE Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley.
Since 2021, the King of the Ring has been determined in Riyadh, with the Queen of the Ring being determined for the first time at Crown Jewel in that year.
This year’s King and Queen follow Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill, who both won their finals at last year’s Night of Champions event.
With Cargill competing in a first-round match against Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria and Charlotte Flair, there’s the possibility that the star could be the first female star to win the tournament in two consecutive years. Even the men’s tournament hasn’t seen back-to-back wins since Bret Hart in 1991 and 1993 (with no tournament in 1992).
