Top WWE NXT Star Officially Called Up to SmackDown

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis introduced Giulia as the newest member of the blue brand during the May 16 episode, surprising many.

Giulia is now officially a member of the WWE SmackDown roster. The announcement came during the May 16, 2025, episode. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made the introduction in a backstage segment.

Aldis revealed Giulia, referred to as “The Beautiful Madness,” to Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, confirming her permanent move. This development occurred despite Giulia’s recent appearances on WWE RAW, where she was aligned with Roxanne Perez.

Following Giulia’s introduction on SmackDown, no official statement was made regarding Roxanne Perez’s brand affiliation. However, the circumstances imply Perez will likely remain part of the RAW roster.

This acquisition significantly strengthens the SmackDown women’s division. The move notably took place outside of any formal WWE Draft period, adding an unexpected new talent to the Friday night show.
