Giulia wins Women’s United States title on WWE SmackDown

Giulia

Two months after losing the WWE Women’s United States Championship to Chelsea Green, Giulia regained it on Friday’s WWE SmackDown.

After Green got a nearfall with Radio Silence (the finishing move of her husband, Matt Cardona, who returned to WWE earlier in the evening), she went to the top rope. Giulia brought her down with a butterfly superplex, then followed with a northern lights bomb for the clean win and title change.

Green originally won the title in November after Giulia was distracted by a brawl between Kiana James and Alba Fyre at ringside. Green quickly pinned Giulia with a schoolgirl, getting her feet on the ropes for leverage. 

Giulia and James have been feuding with Green and Fyre in both singles and tag matches, on TV and on house shows ever since. 

Giulia has now won two WWE Women’s United States Championships, one NXT Women’s Championship, and one Iron Survivor Challenge in just 16 months as a member of the WWE roster.
