​STARDOM star delays WWE debut to support founder's new promotion

NEW DELHI: WWE's eagerly anticipated free-agent signing, Giulia, is postponing her debut to assist STARDOM founder Rossy Ogawa in launching a new promotion.
WWE's pursuit of STARDOM sensation Giulia has been no secret, with reports suggesting significant interest from the wrestling giant for months. It was widely believed that Giulia had offers from both WWE and NJPW, with AEW not in contention. While it was initially expected that Giulia would make the jump to WWE after her contract with STARDOM expired in March, recent developments reveal a delay in her arrival at the Performance Center.


During a segment on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shed light on the situation, emphasizing Giulia's loyalty to Rossy Ogawa, the founder of STARDOM and a pivotal figure in her career.
According to Meltzer, Giulia's decision to postpone her WWE debut stems from her commitment to help Ogawa kick off his new wrestling promotion. Despite the allure of a WWE contract and the promise of a significant increase in earnings, Giulia has opted to stand by her word and support Ogawa in the initial stages of his new venture.

Meltzer praised Giulia's admirable commitment, stating, "It’s admirable that you say you're gonna help someone, and then you get the great offer to leave for a lot more money. And you say, 'Well, I'll delay my departure.'"
Giulia's decision to prioritize loyalty and honor her commitment to Ogawa adds a unique layer to her journey to WWE, showcasing her dedication to those who played a crucial role in her rise to stardom within the wrestling world.
