She had a 100% record as a champion not just in NXT but all the way to WrestleMania where Charlotte Flair beat her.
Kairi Sane was the second Japanese star to win the NXT Women's Championship which led her to make it to the main roster. Iyo Sky in 2023 became the third Japanese star to achieve the feat which propelled her to the main roster. If everything goes well, Giulia could soon get a main roster call-up.
