Bayley Applauds Giulia’s Iron Survivor Challenge Victory at NXT Deadline

WWE SmackDown star Bayley couldn’t hold back her admiration for Giulia’s impressive win in the Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline on December 7.

The match, which headlined the event, showcased Giulia securing a late pinfall to clinch the victory, earning her a future shot at Roxanne Perez’s NXT Women’s Title at New Year’s Evil. As the confetti and streamers rained down, one of WWE’s top stars made her approval known.

Bayley took to social media to share her reaction, simply writing “👏👏👏,” in support of Giulia’s dominant performance. The gesture from the Damage CTRL leader caught fans’ attention, as it’s rare for main roster superstars to publicly weigh in on NXT matches. Bayley’s recognition of Giulia’s performance highlights the growing buzz around “The Beautiful Madness” and the impact of the NXT women’s division.

The Iron Survivor Challenge was a spectacle, featuring Giulia alongside Sol Ruca, Stephanie Vaquer, ZARIA, and Wren Sinclair.

Giulia’s late pinfall over ZARIA solidified her position as a rising star in WWE and added weight to Ava’s claim that NXT boasts the “best women’s division in the world.”

Bayley’s nod to Giulia’s big win adds even more excitement to the buzz surrounding NXT’s women’s division. As “The Beautiful Madness” gears up for her shot at the NXT Women’s Title, fans can’t help but wonder if Bayley’s applause could lead to a future clash between these two powerhouse stars. One thing’s for sure—Giulia’s star is on the rise, and the WWE Universe will be watching every step of the way.
