Giulia is the reigning WWE Women’s United States Champion and has been on a tremendous run since signing with the company. On social media, she sent a message after completing 8 years as a professional wrestler.
The real-life Eimi Gloria Matsudo debuted under the ring name Giulia at New Ice Ribbon #845, an event promoted by the joshi puroresu promotion Ice Ribbon. In her first match, she teamed up with Takako Inoue in a loss to Nao Date and Satsuki Totoro. A couple of years later, she signed with World Wonder Ring Stardom and broke onto the scene. During her time with the promotion, she won multiple championships, including the World of Stardom Championship.
On social media, Giulia celebrated her 8th anniversary as a professional wrestler and explained the importance of wrestling in her life.
“8 years since I first stepped into the ring… Wrestling saved me when my life was going nowhere. I’m still on my journey… there’s so much more to do, and I’ll keep climbing higher‼︎ I love wrestling with all my heart. Every step, every challenge, every cheer and even every boo I’m grateful for it all‼︎ wrote Giulia.

Booker T on the concept of Giulia catching up to Stephanie Vaquer in WWE
Booker T commented on the concept of Giulia ‘catching up’ to Stephanie Vaquer. The two superstars are already champions on the main roster, with Vaquer winning the WWE Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza.
Speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker said that the reigning Women’s US Champion didn’t need to catch up at all, as this wasn’t a race between her and Vaquer. He said:
“I don’t think Giulia needs to do anything to catch up. It’s not a race from that perspective. I don’t think they’re competing from that perspective. I think both of those ladies have come over here to WWE, and they’ve done great. Just like IYO SKY, they’ve done great being able to work within that universal language, which is the squared circle, going out there and making people go, ‘Oh, I really, really like this person here,'”
Giulia has successfully defended the WWE Women’s US Championship against Zelina Vega and Michin. She and her on-screen ally, Kiana James, have been feuding with Tiffany Stratton.
