Having appeared at NXT Stand and Deliver during WrestleMania Weekend, and having been present at the launch of Rossy Ogawa's new Marigold promotion at the start of this week, there's now an update on Giulia's current status.

Via Fightful Select, Giulia will work at least "a handful" of matches for Marigold before reporting to the WWE Performance Center towards the end of June or early July.

In terms of an in-ring debut, the belief within NXT is that she'll have her first match for the brand at NXT Heatwave on 7 July, and she's expected to challenge for a championship at that show. Of course, not only does the brand have the NXT Women's Championship, but the NXT Women's North American Title is also now on the horizon.

As for her presentation, the plan is for Giulia to keep that ring name in WWE. And while there aren't plans to do so right now, there is also the possibility that WWE may obtain the rights to Giulia's current theme music, too.

Not just was Giulia present at NXT Stand and Deliver - shown in the crowd with Rossy Ogawa and William Regal during the Roxanne Perez vs. Lyra Valkyria match - but she was in attendance for WrestleMania XL and also visited the WWE Performance Center during her visit to the US.
