Shock Return Of WWE Star Costs Giulia NXT Title

A new era dawned on WWE NXT as it debuted on the CW Network but it was an absent star that made the headlines as they cost Giulia a major win.

Giulia made her long-awaited debut in NXT back at No Mercy where she got in the face of NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez.

The former Stardom great didn’t waste any time in going for gold in her new home as she challenged Perez for her title on the first edition of NXT on the CW Network.

That match took place on October 1st and a surprise twist saw Giulia fail to win the title. During the bout, Roxanne Perez grabbed the referee which left an opening for a hooded figure to pounce on Giulia which then allowed Perez to hit Pop Rocks to retain her championship.

That mystery assailant turned out to be Cora Jade who has been out of action since January after she suffered a torn ACL.

After the match, Roxanne Perez confronted Jade backstage and it seems their issues could be behind them as an uneasy alliance was teased.

Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez were NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions back in 2022 after winning the gold from Toxic Attraction at The Great American Bash. One week later, however, Jade turned on Perez before she threw her title belt in the trash and the championship was subsequently vacated.
