One big thing
WWE recruit Giulia will maintain a relationship with Japan’s Marigold promotion even after her WWE debut, thanks to a working agreement between the two companies.
Why it matters
This arrangement showcases WWE’s evolving approach to talent management and international partnerships, potentially opening doors for more cross-promotional opportunities in the future.
The details
• Giulia reportedly agreed to a WWE deal in April 2024.
• Her final match in Japan is scheduled for August 19.
• She’s expected to join the NXT roster upon arrival in WWE.
• The working relationship allows Giulia to appear in Marigold’s big shows.
By the numbers
• Marigold plans to hold four big shows annually.
• WWE may allow Giulia to participate in these events.
What they’re saying
Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio:
- “My impression is that [WWE] will allow her to go back for big shows like IYO SKY did on that last Sumo Hall show.”
- “WWE doesn’t really want that really hard-hitting style, especially from women. But if you take that away, how will she be? I don’t know.”
The big picture
Giulia’s dual role represents a significant shift in WWE’s talent strategy, potentially paving the way for more flexible arrangements with international stars. However, her transition to WWE’s style of wrestling could present challenges.
What’s next?
All eyes will be on Giulia’s WWE debut and how she adapts to the company’s style while maintaining her connection to the Japanese wrestling scene.
