The latest episode of NXT featured a special guest appearance from CM Punk, who allegedly came out to make an announcement. However, he was interrupted by his “wrestling daughter,” Roxanne Perez. The segment soon turned into an intense confrontation between the NXT Women’s Champion and Giulia.

Shortly after the show went off the air, the Japanese superstar responded to the segment on her X account. She sent a spine-chilling message to her future opponent. Giulia has sent similar warnings to the champion in the past, particularly after she won her debut match against Chelsea Green.

The former Marigold star has been after the NXT Women’s Champion for a few weeks now. She made her debut at NXT: No Mercy shortly after the 22-year-old successfully defended her title against Jaida Parker. The two had an intense face-off in the ring, and the debuting superstar made her intentions clear.

The succeeding episode of NXT featured Roxanne Perez cutting a promo about her victory. However, Chelsea Green interrupted the champion, claiming that she was the #1 contender for her title. This statement did not go down well with Giulia, who made her entrance and laid out the Canadian. Furthermore, she is now set to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship on the show’s debut episode on CW.

Giulia expresses her gratitude to share the ring with CM Punk on the latest episode of NXT

Giulia shared the ring with Roxanne Perez and CM Punk on the latest episode of NXT. Having a segment with a wrestling veteran such as the Best in the World is a privilege for any rising superstar. Clearly, the Japanese superstar felt no differently. She shared a photo of her alongside the former AEW wrestler on Instagram and said that she was honored to share the ring with the 45-year-old.

During the latest episode of NXT, Perez came out to interrupt a promo by Punk. The 22-year-old expressed her gratitude for sharing the ring with her idol, then went on to take a few shots at him. She quoted the Straight Edge Superstar, saying that she would rather be hated for who she was rather than loved for someone she wasn’t. Although Giulia may be huge in Japan, the Latina superstar was big all around the globe and was untouchable. 

The Voice of the Voiceless himself is a huge fan of Giulia and was highly impressed after her debut. He told Perez that the former NJPW superstar was going to destroy her when they face off in Chicago. Hearing this, the 30-year-old herself came out to confront the champion. She warned her by saying that Perez only had two weeks left of her NXT Women’s Championship reign. The champion tried to attack her challenger, but Punk held her back.
