The Beautiful Madness Has Arrived on SmackDown

Giulia wwe is here. And SmackDown may never be the same again.

Friday Night SmackDown just got dangerous. WWE fans, take a breath — because “The Beautiful Madness” has officially landed. In a moment that immediately ignited the women’s division, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announced Giulia’s main roster call-up during a backstage segment that also saw her cross paths with two icons: Alexa Bliss and 14-time Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.

WWE’s golden import is no longer a secret. After debuting at NXT No Mercy just eight months ago, Giulia didn’t just survive — she devoured. The Japanese superstar quickly became NXT Women’s Champion in January, stunning fans and turning heads across the industry. Her explosive in-ring style — a fusion of elegance and intensity — earned her the nickname “The Beautiful Madness”, a moniker that couldn’t feel more appropriate. Off-camera? She’s charming, sweet, even goofy. But between those ropes, she wrestles like a psychopath. And now she’s loose on SmackDown.

Giulia of SmackDown! Remember the Name

Her official arrival was marked with a bold statement on social media:

“Giulia of SmackDown! Remember the name. SmackDown just got dangerous.”

And she’s not wrong. With the women’s division already stacked with top-tier talent, Giulia’s presence injects an unpredictable energy — the kind that makes careers… or ends them.

She hasn’t wasted a second. Walking out of Aldis’s office, Giulia was introduced to Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair — and while the former was all smiles, Charlotte wasn’t as welcoming. The two traded a cold, calculated stare. For WWE fans, it was a chill-inducing glimpse into what could be an instant classic.

But first: business.

Giulia’s SmackDown Debut Match: May 23 MITB Qualifier

Giulia will make her SmackDown in-ring debut on May 23 in a Money in the Bank qualifying match against none other than Charlotte Flair and Zelina Vega — the current Women’s United States Champion. It’s a monumental first test. Not just a match, but a statement. A win here means Giulia steps into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match in Los Angeles on June 7, just over two months after dropping the NXT title.

Make no mistake: if she qualifies, Giulia becomes an instant threat to every champion in WWE.

What Happens If Giulia Wins Money in the Bank?

Let’s speculate. Because the idea of Giulia with a guaranteed title shot in her pocket is pure chaos — and pure money.

Charlotte Flair

Let’s start with the obvious. The tension is already there. Flair, a 14-time Women’s Champion, is WWE royalty. She’s also the gatekeeper of SmackDown. But Giulia isn’t here to bow — she’s here to conquer. Their qualifying match could ignite a long-term rivalry, win or lose. Imagine a storyline that pits Giulia’s raw, artistic violence against Charlotte’s cold, legacy-fueled dominance. That’s main event material. WrestleMania-worthy…the caveat being that Charlotte would need to get the title.

Tiffany Stratton

Giulia versus Tiffany Stratton is a collision waiting to happen. Stratton recently busted open Nia Jax with a brutal chair shot and is quickly establishing herself as a barbaric champion. Giulia’s unhinged style would be the perfect foil to Tiffany’s Barbie-gone-berserk persona. And if Giulia wins MITB, cashing in on Tiffany would be both poetic and chaotic.

Rhea Ripley – The Dream Match

Then there’s the nuclear option. The dream match.

Giulia vs. Rhea Ripley.

Wrestling purists have been screaming for it since Giulia inked her WWE deal. The numbers back it up: Rhea and Giulia were ranked #1 and #2 in the 2023 PWI Women’s 250, and their tension during a recent Raw tag match was undeniable. Rhea Ripley currently holds the Women’s World Championship, and if WWE wants to break the internet at Money in the Bank or beyond, they book this match.

Some analysts say not delivering it soon would be a “monumental booking failure.” We agree…sadly, she’s moved to SMACKDOWN and Rhea Ripley resides on Raw. Although WWE creative can always fix these things.

Future Programs: The Path of Destruction Ahead

Even if Giulia doesn’t walk out of MITB with a briefcase, the potential rivalries are mouth-watering.

Bianca Belair

Bianca is currently out with a finger injury sustained at WrestleMania 41, but when she returns? There’s a megamatch waiting. The EST’s athletic power vs. Giulia’s ruthless creativity would be a dream clash. And Bianca’s return feud needs to feel big. This would be just that.

Nia Jax

Injured after the aforementioned Stratton chair assault, Nia Jax could return as a bruising roadblock. Jax is a test of durability. If Giulia could survive Nia’s brute force, it would skyrocket her credibility. That’s a brawl fans would pay to see.

Naomi

Currently embracing a heel role, Naomi could be a fascinating opponent. She’s vicious, clever, and capable of blinding pace. Giulia, unpredictable as she is, could offer a stark contrast in psychology. We could see shades of babyface fire from Giulia in a program that digs deep into character work.

The Returning Bayley

And then there’s Bayley wrestler. Rumors swirl about her return following a mysterious backstage attack at WrestleMania 41. A revenge-fueled Bayley clashing with the newcomer disrupting SmackDown’s ecosystem? That’s box office. Bayley is a locker room leader and veteran, but she’s never faced anything quite like Giulia.

A feud here gives Giulia legitimacy — and Bayley (or is it Bayley wwe?) a powerful comeback story.

The Future Is Beautiful — And Mad

Giulia’s call-up isn’t just an addition to the SmackDown women’s division. It’s a disruption.

SmackDown has quietly assembled the most intriguing, high-potential women’s roster in years. From veterans like Charlotte and WWE Bayley, to dangerous champions like Tiffany and Rhea, to unpredictable characters like Naomi — the possibilities are endless.

And now, Giulia wrestler — the Beautiful Madness herself — is here to tear it all apart and make wrestling news in the process.
