Giulia lost to Lash Legend on the show in a match that went two minutes. With the win, Legend qualified for the Interim WWE Women’s Championship ladder match at SummerSlam.

Giulia posted the following on X after the show:

“To everyone who was rooting for me…
I’m sorry this is how it turned out.
But here’s the thing…
Don’t f–king worry about me.
I’m stubborn as hell.
I don’t f–king quit.
I’m tough as nails.
This is what drives me.
Bring it all the f–k on.
I’ll get through whatever comes my way.
Come at me, all of you.”
