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.

On this week’s episode of NXT, multiple NXT champion vs. TNA champion matches were made official for the upcoming event. You can check out more about it here.

TNA X-Divison Champion Moose has was part of the February 25, edition of WWE NXT, where he retained his championship against Lexis King. After the match, it was confirmed that Moose will challenge NXT Champion Oba Femi at the March 11, NXT Roadblock event.

In a WWE NXT Digital Exclusive, Moose discussed his “awesome experience” with WWE NXT so far and how his journey to the brand has been a long time coming.

“Every weight I’ve ever lifted, every flight I’ve ever boarded on, every country I’ve ever went to, every championship I’ve ever won prepared me for this moment.”

Moose admitted to being surprised by the fans cheering him in WWE NXT, as he’s used to being booed by TNA crowds. The leader of The System, Moose admitted that he’s been waiting to face Oba Femi for a “very long time.”

“I have a ton of respect for Oba. He’s done a lot of great things in the last two years. But let’s be honest, without me, there wouldn’t be no Oba. At Roadblock, I’m gonna prove that to him.”

Moose’s arrival in NXT, as well as Femi’s recent role in TNA, comes thanks to a multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA Wrestling. This partnership has also seen the women of both brands get involved, with Cora Jade set to challenge for the TNA Knockouts Title at Sacrifice.

With everything to gain, Moose hopes to do what Joe Hendry failed to do last October and become the WWE NXT Champion. While The Ruler of NXT won’t make things easy, Moose intends to prove why everyone should “trust the System” on March 11.

The Hardy Boyz are set for Madison Square Garden return.

NXT is set to hold the Roadblock event from The Theatre at Madison Square Garden on March 11. The company made multiple big matches official for this show during tonight’s episode of the development brand.

After Moose successfully defended the X Division Championship against Lexis King, the current NXT Champion Oba Femi came out to confront the TNA star. Femi announced that the former NFL star would be facing him for the NXT title at the upcoming show.

Elsewhere in the show, Women’s Champion Giulia came out to confront the NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer after the latter defeated Karmen Petrovic in a title match.

The Japanese star first congratulated Vaquer and then declared that she wanted to know who the best champion was. She then challenged the Mexican star to a title vs. title match at the upcoming show.

The Hardy Boyz Set For NXT Roadblock

Potentially the biggest match that was announced during the night was of The Hardy Boyz. The TNA tag team champions defeated Tavion Heights and Myles Borne in their WWE in-ring return at the February 25 show.

The NXT tag champs Axiom and Nathan Frazer came out looking for a fight with the legendary tag team after this. TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella then announced that The Hardys will defend their titles against the NXT team at the upcoming PPV.

With multiple crossover matches, the upcoming event is becoming a must-watch show. It’d be interesting to see if the Hardy Boyz stick around WWE programming after Roadblock.

On the latest WWE NXT, TNA X-Division Champion Moose confronted Oba Femi, and the reigning NXT Champion returned the favor during the latest episode of Impact. Femi will be in six-man-tag action on next week’s Impact, pitting the Ruler and the Hardys against The System, but a much bigger match has now been confirmed.

During the latest tapings of Impact, for an episode set to air on March 6, Femi was again part of the show, but his moment was cut short when Moose and the System stormed the ring. Both Moose and Femi held up their titles, and a winner-takes-all match has been set for the pair. That showdown will come at NXT Roadblock on March 11, from The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Regardless of who wins, this match will prove to be historic. Since TNA and WWE NXT began partnering in 2024, no wrestler has won a championship from the other show. That will change soon enough, as in addition to the winner of this match, Cora Jade hopes to become TNA Knockouts World Champion at Sacrifice.

As for whether it’ll be Moose or Femi who become a double champion, time will tell. One thing for certain though, is that NXT Roadblock in the Theatre at MSG will be the stage for arguably the biggest match in this multi-year partnership to date.

The History of WWE Roadblock

WWE Roadblock has a rich history dating back to 2016, when it debuted as a WWE Network exclusive event in Toronto featuring a memorable WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Triple H and Dean Ambrose. The event later evolved into a Raw brand pay-per-view with “Roadblock: End of the Line” in December 2016, which saw several historic moments including the end of The New Day’s record-setting tag team championship reign.

After a six-year hiatus, WWE reimagined Roadblock as an annual television special for the NXT brand, typically serving as a key event leading into NXT Stand & Deliver during WrestleMania season. The event’s legacy continues as WWE prepares to bring Roadblock to The Theater at Madison Square Garden on March 11, 2025, marking another significant chapter in the event’s history.
