Giulia has one regret about getting called up
Giulia recently spoke with meraWRESTLING about being called up to the WWE main roster. She made it to SmackDown in only nine months, but she shared the one regret she had in regards to being called up so quickly.
“The overwhelming speed of it all,” Giulia said. “I already thought WWE’s pace was incredibly fast to begin with, but I’m truly surprised by this speed of moving up to the main roster in just eight or nine months. I’m like, ‘Oh no, I still haven’t properly learned English!’ So I feel like, ‘I’m sorry I haven’t learned English.’
“At first, of course, I had the feeling of ‘I want to go quickly, I want to go quickly’ but as I wrestled in WWE every single day, every single match, every single show, everything was new to me. So time just flew by in an instant until today. There’s definitely a feeling of, already? It all feels like it happened incredibly fast.”
