Nakano encouraged Giulia to seriously consider joining WWE, emphasizing the potential for her career to expand globally.
“[She] should definitely go. The world will definitely expand. I think it will broaden [her] horizons as a wrestler if you see that there are different types of pro wrestling. If WWE wants to see [her] active in Japan, I think they’ll use [her] in a good way,” Nakano said. [ H/T WrestleTalk ]
Amidst the speculations, recent reports have identified Giulia as a top priority acquisition for WWE in 2024, fueling discussions about the timing of her potential signing.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer provided insight, revealing that Giulia’s current contract extends until March, implying that any movement would only occur after this period.
“So this is the Giulia story. She’s under contract until March. So, up until March, nothing’s happening. Mike Johnson [of PWInsider] was correct in reporting that there’s interest, but there’s been interest in her since 2019. It is a story now because there’s more interest in her now, but she’s not going anywhere until March (…) The idea that like, ‘Oh my god, she’s going to WWE,’ it’s so premature to say that. But could it happen in March? Absolutely, it could happen in March, yes,” Meltzer explained.
Despite earlier indications that AEW had limited interest in signing Giulia, recent comments from top stars like Mariah May and Mercedes Mone suggest a potential shift in this stance.
The wrestling world eagerly awaits Giulia’s decision, as her next move could significantly impact the landscape of women’s wrestling on a global scale.
