The drama kicked off early on the December 10 episode of WWE NXT as Giulia, fresh off her Iron Survivor Challenge victory at NXT Deadline, addressed the NXT Universe. But the celebration was short-lived as chaos erupted when NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade crashed the scene.
Before Jade attacked Giulia, she revealed that Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia’s ally, was nowhere to be found because she had been attacked backstage. Taking full credit for the brutal ambush, Cora Jade declared her dominance. WWE later hinted on social media that Roxanne Perez may have been involved in the backstage assault as well.
Luckily, Giulia didn’t face the duo alone. Kelani Jordan, former NXT Women’s North American Champion, stormed the ring to even the odds, forcing Roxanne and Cora to retreat. The quick thinking and courage from Kelani saved Giulia from a two-on-one beatdown, adding another layer to this heated rivalry.
WWE shared clips of the chaos online, showing Giulia’s celebration interrupted and the aftermath of Stephanie Vaquer being attended to by medical personnel. While her condition remains unclear, fans are already speculating what this attack means for the power dynamics in NXT.
