In a match more dramatic than a daytime soap plot twist, Giulia has toppled Roxanne Perez to become the new NXT Women’s Champion at New Year’s Evil. It was a night of beautiful chaos, as “The Prodigy” found herself outwitted by “The Beautiful Madness.” Frankly, with nicknames like that, it was destined to be a Shakespearean tragedy. Spoiler: Roxanne’s reign was the tragedy.
The Battle Breakdown
Giulia, fresh off proving she’s the Iron Survivor (a title that sounds like she beat five people in dodgeball rather than a wrestling ring), came in ready to snatch Perez’s gold. The two squared off like frenemies in a reality TV reunion—polite at first, but quickly escalating to high-stakes drama.
Perez kept things grounded early, trying to keep Giulia from flipping the script, but Giulia wasn’t having it. A suicide dive here, a superplex there—classic “why do wrestlers go to the top rope when it never works?” strategy was in full effect. Perez even tried to lock Giulia into a Crossface submission, but Giulia escaped with the grace of someone avoiding small talk at a party.
Enter the Chaos Agent: Cora Jade
Just as the match reached its fever pitch, Cora Jade appeared, because of course she did. Jade’s interference gave us that classic, “Wait, who’s the real villain here?” moment, leading to her being ejected faster than an unwanted guest at New Year’s brunch.
Perez almost clinched victory with a Pop Rox, but Giulia said, “Not today!” and retaliated with a Northern Lights Bomb so devastating, it might’ve triggered seismographs. Three seconds later, a new era began.
