After a highly anticipated main roster call-up, Giulia is officially part of WWE SmackDown, while her fellow NXT standout Roxanne Perez landed on Raw. Perez wasted no time, defeating Becky Lynch and Natalya on May 19 to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Giulia now faces a huge opportunity of her own—a triple threat qualifier against Charlotte Flair and Zelina Vega. While her in-ring skills are elite, standing out on the blue brand requires strategy, presence, and impact. Here are five key things Giulia must do on SmackDown this week to make her presence known.
1. Get a Manager To Focus on Wins, Not Words
Giulia’s silent confidence and stiff fighting style speak louder than promos ever could. But on the main roster, presentation matters. She needs a manager, not just as a mouthpiece, but as a strategist.
The right manager can build feuds, push for high-stakes matches, and create big moments, while Giulia does what she does best—win fights. With the women’s division crowded and political, a sharp-tongued ally can help her stay above the drama while targeting gold.
2. Win the MITB Qualifier To Match Perez’s Momentum
There’s no better way to make a statement than by winning the Money in the Bank qualifier match. With Roxanne Perez already punching her ticket by beating Becky Lynch and Natalya, Giulia needs to match that energy, especially when her opponents are Charlotte Flair and Zelina Vega.
Beating a 14-time champion like Charlotte would instantly legitimize Giulia as a threat. It would also set up a future clash with Perez if both enter the ladder match. This is Giulia’s chance to leapfrog the roster and show the WWE Universe she’s not just here to compete—she’s here to conquer.
3. If She Doesn’t Win, Start a New Feud Immediately
If Giulia doesn’t win the qualifier, she can’t fade into the background. Instead, she should take matters into her own hands. Attacking someone in the roster backstage would light a fire and start a fresh, meaningful feud. This isn’t just about revenge—it’s about proving that she won’t be ignored.
NXT fans know her intensity; the SmackDown roster needs to learn it, too. A post-match beatdown or backstage ambush can ignite a new storyline and position her as a top villain on the blue brand roster.
4. Briefly Align With Tiffany Stratton, Then Betray Her
Tiffany Stratton is flashy, haughty, and all about the spotlight—everything Giulia isn’t. Still, a brief alliance between the two could lead to some fun chaos on SmackDown. Imagine them teaming up for one night, picking up a win over a powerful duo.
Just when Tiffany thinks she has a powerful new friend, Giulia lays her out post-match. That kind of turn would instantly separate her from Stratton’s Barbie-blonde aura and show that she walks alone. It’s the perfect way to introduce betrayal, drama, and strength—without sacrificing her mystique.
5. Establish Herself As SmackDown’s Lone Wolf
Giulia shouldn’t chase friendship, approval, or validation. She should establish herself as a lone wolf, untouched by alliances or drama. Her silent aura, physical dominance, and no-nonsense demeanor make her unique in a division full of factions and drama.

This week on SmackDown, she should show that she’s not here to play games—she’s here to change the game. Whether she wins or loses the MITB qualifier, a post-match promo (even a few cold, translated words in Japanese) could make a huge impact. It would build her mystique naturally.
Giulia’s path on SmackDown starts this week, and every move she makes this week could shape her rise to the top.
