“Beautiful Madness” has officially arrived on WWE SmackDown, as international star Giulia made her impactful debut on the blue brand. During Friday night’s show, the roster was put on notice when General Manager Nick Aldis introduced her as SmackDown’s newest acquisition.
This move confirmed Giulia’s solo path, foreshadowed recently on WWE Raw. After teaming with Roxanne Perez in a losing effort against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, Giulia bluntly told Perez, “there is no we.” True to her word, Giulia appeared on SmackDown alone. Her introduction segment also featured Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, with Giulia and “The Queen” engaging in a tense staredown before Aldis called Flair into his office to discuss the upcoming Money in the Bank PLE.
Following her striking debut, the acclaimed former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion took to social media, boldly declaring her intent to position herself at “the head of the SmackDown table.”
Giulia of SmackDown!
Remember the name.SmackDown just got dangerous.
