NXT’s Roadblock saw the triumph of The Dark Angel Stephanie Vaquer. It was the night when the Chilean superstar ascended to the top as the first-ever double women’s champion in NXT history. While it was a moment of celebration for Vaquer, out of the frame, there was someone who was reeling in defeat. It was none other than Giulia who posted a somber message following her loss at The Theater at MSG.

Taking to X, The Beautiful Madness praised Vaquer for being the better woman at NXT Roadblock. However, she admitted that the loss was a frustrating moment for her and vowed to come back stronger. The Japanese superstar made it clear that she is determined to seek redemption. She emphasized that her pursuit of the NXT Women’s Championship is far from over.

I lost. It’s frustrating, but she deserved the win. Congrats, my friend! I’m not done yet… I’m still burning with determination!

Moreover, The Dark Angel has made history as WWE’s first double women’s champion since Becky Lynch. For Giulia, her NXT Women’s Championship reign lasted a solid 63 days. While this clash was originally set for NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE had to move it up to NXT Roadblock due to the 31-year-old’s injury. Despite the setback, the highly anticipated showdown delivered a memorable moment.

It will be interesting to see how the NXT Women’s Championship scene evolves from here. With Giulia expected to be out of the title picture for a while, new challengers may emerge. Names like Sol Ruca, Jordynne Grace, and Cora Jade could step up against Stephanie Vaquer on the road to Stand & Deliver. As the Las Vegas event approaches, the landscape of the division is set for some intriguing developments.

In a video shared by Michaels himself, both women were seen emotionally meeting the WWE Hall of Famer. They were taken aback by the impact they had made on NXT. HBK embraced the two stars, assuring them of an even brighter future in WWE. However, the moment was especially touching for Giulia, who was deeply moved by the praise and appreciation.

Giulia to make her return as a heel and attack Stephanie Vaquer?

With reports confirming Giulia is dealing with an injury, fans have speculated about her future in WWE. However, it’s important to note that the injury is minor, and she is expected to recover within a month or two. Now that she has lost the NXT Women’s Championship, the question remains – what’s next for her in WWE’s developmental territory? Her next move could shape the trajectory of her career in NXT and beyond.

There is a possibility that Giulia could return to NXT as a heel. While both she and Vaquer are top stars in the brand, The Dark Angel has garnered more fan support. This dynamic often led to an awkward face-versus-face rivalry. A heel turn could add more depth to Giulia’s character and set the stage for a compelling new chapter in her WWE journey.

To avoid this dynamic, The Beautiful Madness might return with a new heel persona. She could make a statement by attacking Vaquer from behind, setting her sights on reclaiming the NXT Women’s Championship. This shift would add intensity to their rivalry. It could also mark the beginning of a compelling new chapter in their ongoing feud.
