In a twist of events that left the wrestling world on the edge of its seat, STARDOM’s Giulia’s highly anticipated visit to the WWE Performance Center took an unexpected turn this week.
Earlier reports hinted at a potential tryout for the reigning NJPW Strong Women’s Champion, fueling excitement among fans and speculation within the industry. However, a recent update reveals that Giulia’s visit was not the anticipated tryout but rather a meet-and-greet with WWE officials.
Originally scheduled to grace the hallowed halls of the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, Giulia did not make the journey as planned.

Sources close to the situation indicated that she was slated to visit on Wednesday, leaving fans puzzled as to why the accomplished 29-year-old Japanese/Italian wrestler was a no-show.
Adding another layer of intrigue, it was reported that Simon Kelly Inoki, son-in-law of the legendary Antonio Inoki, was expected to accompany Giulia as a translator. Inoki, known for his past work as a liaison between Japanese wrestlers and WWE officials, could have played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the two wrestling worlds.
