WWE Signing Thought Fans Were Cheering For Someone Else During Debut

WWE

WWE signing Giulia has admitted that she thought fans were cheering for someone else during her first appearance for the company.

It was initially reported in April that Giulia was expected to report to the WWE Performance Center following her run with the new promotion Marigold.

Following this report, Giulia made a brief appearance at NXT Stand & Deliver, with the former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion shown in the crowd.

Speaking with Creators, Giulia noted that she didn’t initially think the crowd’s pop was for her.

Noting that crowds in the US react differently to crowds in Japan, she said:

“Actually, at that time, I didn’t think they were cheering for me. When I stood up, the whole venue was like, ‘Whoaaaaaa!’, so I thought, ‘Maybe some amazing celebrity has come?’

“Even if I tried to check it on the screen, the big monitor screen in the venue was right above me, so I couldn’t see anything (laughs).

“Even when someone said, ‘That was a huge cheer!’ I thought, ‘Was that for me?’ When I checked the video later, I had such a goofy look on my face, and I thought, ‘How embarrassing!’

“I was like, ‘There’s no way people would cheer for me this much!’ The scale is different from Japan, and I was just like, ‘Did someone come? Dwayne Johnson?’ (laughs)”

An update has actually emerged on The Rock’s WWE hiatus, which you can read about right here.
