- The following article contains potential spoiler for NXT Roadblock event
A lot of people were concerned about Giulia’s status heading into the big title vs. title match at NXT Roadblock special.
It was reported that the bout was booked because the NXT Women’s Champion was dealing with an injury, making many question about the company’s decision to book her for the show at all.
PWInsider which originally reported the news of her health recently provided an update. Per sources of the site, the Japanese star is banged up from physicality associated with her style of wrestling.
The Women’s Champion is not dealing with a major injury but there are ‘bumps and bruises’ she needs time off to recover from. Though this is not expected to affect her standing for Roadblock and Giulia is 100% expected to work the match against the NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer.
It’s believed that the former NJPW star will be dropping the title to Vaquer at the show. Though how long she will be out of action afterward is unknown.
Giulia will not be the only star wrestling in a champion vs. champion match at the upcoming March 11 PPV from The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
