Giulia has quickly become one of WWE’s most talked-about rising stars, but her journey to success hasn’t come without obstacles.
While speaking to Adrian Hernandez on the Unruly podcast, the WWE Women’s United States Champion opened up about one of the toughest adjustments she faced after joining WWE — and it had nothing to do with toughness inside the ring.
During the conversation, Giulia reflected on the differences between wrestling in Japan and performing on WWE television. She explained that the American wrestling style forced her to rethink how matches are structured, especially with the added pressure of working around commercial breaks and broadcast timing. She explained that the transition required learning how to stay focused on the match itself while also thinking about production elements happening behind the scenes.
“Yes… yeah, everything’s so different and it’s not easy to adjust American style, but I think the wrestlers in WWE must be smart. Yeah, because we have to fight while even thinking about the timing of commercial, you know. So yeah, in Japan we don’t have like that. So yeah, totally different. It’s really challenging, but I’m getting understanding, getting understand and then yeah… it was fun. It was fun. I like, yeah.”
Even though she described the adjustment as challenging, Giulia made it clear that she’s embraced the process and continues to improve. Learning how to balance performance, storytelling, and television structure has become part of her development, and it’s helped shape her growth into a champion on WWE programming.
As Giulia continues carving out her place in WWE, her willingness to adapt to a completely different system shows just how committed she is to succeeding at the highest level. The challenge of mastering WWE’s television format may have tested her early on, but it’s also become part of what defines her evolution as a performer.
Giulia’s experience shows that success in WWE isn’t just about physical ability — it’s about learning the rhythm of television and delivering at the exact right moment. That kind of adjustment can make or break careers, especially for talent coming from overseas promotions.
