Famed Japanese wrestler Giulia recently made her WWE in-ring debut on NXT, facing off against Chelsea Green. While her in-ring skills garnered praise from many, WWE veteran Bully Ray believes she is missing a crucial element to truly excel in the American wrestling scene.
Bully Ray, a Hall of Famer with a keen eye for talent, dissected Giulia’s debut match on a recent episode of Busted Open Radio. He commended her overall presentation and performance but pointed out her lack of facial expressions as a potential hindrance to her success in the WWE.
“I’m not so much a fan of the expressionless face. I’d loved to see some more expression from her,” he remarked. “It almost looks like she took a Benadryl before she went out there. It’s a very flat look on her face at times.”
Despite this critique, Bully Ray acknowledged Giulia’s strong showing in the ring against Chelsea Green and emphasized the importance of adapting to the American WWE style.
Giulia, known for her success in Japan where the wrestling style differs significantly, has the opportunity to refine her presentation and character to resonate with a wider audience. With a major title match against NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez looming on the horizon, the pressure is on for Giulia to showcase her potential as a top star.
Shawn Michaels’ decision to grant Giulia a title shot early in her NXT career speaks volumes about her potential within the company. However, a title change could signal a shift in direction for Perez and potentially pave the way for Giulia’s ascent to the main roster.
As the wrestling industry continues to evolve, Giulia’s journey in WWE promises to be a captivating one. With guidance from seasoned veterans like Bully Ray and the opportunity to showcase her skills on a global stage, Giulia has the potential to carve out a lasting legacy in the world of professional wrestling.
