WWE has signed several notable stars from Japan over the past few years. Their roster now includes Shinsuke Nakamura, Akira Tozawa, IYO Sky, Asuka and Kairi Sane. The company seemingly has a renewed interest in Japan, as evidence by their new partnership with AJPW. That also brings up a big question about who may enter WWE next from the Japanese wrestling scene.
Giulia’s Interest in Leaving Japan
There are expectations for Giulia’s potential arrival in WWE, but she hasn’t even visited the Performance Center yet. Despite expressing an interest in possibly sticking around joshi wrestling, Giulia has shown curiosity about joining an overseas company.
While speaking to Bunshun, Giulia shared her experience working outside Japan. The 29-year-old joshi star emphasized the need to enhance her skills in Joshi professional wrestling as well.
Giulia also acknowledged the unique opportunities available for her outside Japan, which she calls “overseas.” She then hinted at prioritizing improvement in Japan before considering a move to WWE or anywhere outside of Japan.
“From the beginning, I had a desire to compete overseas, but I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be better to raise the profile of women’s pro-wrestling in Japan first? The STRONG Women’s is the belt that changed me. A belt that will change you.”
“Overseas is good too, but I want to do it in Japan. But the world is big, isn’t it? You can have experiences that you cannot get only in Japan. Knowledge too. I learned that by going to America to defend the title.”
“When you’re absorbing new things like now, everything is a learning experience. I want to learn more. I want to level up more. Ultimately, I hope to be able to utilize my overseas experience in order to pass it on to my juniors in women’s pro-wrestling and preserve the history.”
WWE’s Interest in Giulia
WWE has been interested in signing Giulia for a minute, with reports indicating an expected visit to the WWE Performance Center. Despite the initial buzz, Giulia has yet to make the anticipated visit, leaving fans speculating about her potential move.
AEW reportedly backed off of Giulia, as they haven’t shown any interest in signing her since WWE is in the picture. Giulia could have a few lucrative options open for her at this time. The important part is that she also has interest in pursuing them.
