Giulia Captures NXT Women’s Championship at New Year’s Evil – Giulia claimed her first NXT Women’s Championship at NXT New Year’s Evil by defeating Roxanne Perez in an intense opening match that set the tone for the evening. The finish came after a hard-fought contest, with Giulia surviving Perez’s Pop Rox finisher. Displaying resilience and technical prowess, she countered an armbar attempt by rolling through and delivered a decisive knee strike followed by a northern lights bomb to secure the pinfall victory.
Cora Jade made her presence felt during the bout, continuing her feud with Perez by interfering. However, unlike her actions in Chicago, this time her interference did not result in a Perez win, allowing Giulia to claim the title cleanly.
This victory marks a significant milestone for Giulia as her first reign as NXT Women’s Champion. Since making her WWE debut at NXT No Mercy in September 2024, the accomplished international star has made a swift and powerful impact. Giulia’s résumé includes multiple championships in STARDOM, where she held both the Wonder of STARDOM and World of STARDOM titles. She is also a former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion, highlighting her success across various promotions before joining WWE.
Roxanne Perez’s title reign ends after an impressive 276 days. She captured the championship at NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 by defeating Lyra Valkyria, solidifying her status as one of NXT’s top competitors. Despite the setback, Perez remains a key figure in the division, with her ongoing rivalry with Cora Jade poised to escalate.
Giulia’s victory ushers in a new era for the NXT women’s division, and her reign promises compelling matchups as she establishes herself atop the brand’s roster.
