Giulia will step into 2026 as a two-time WWE United States Women’s Champion after defeating Chelsea Green on Friday’s SmackDown. Despite Green capturing the title from Giulia for the second time on November 7, their intense rivalry continued. Both women were accompanied by Alba Fire and Kiana James during the match, adding more drama to the contest.
As the match began, Giulia, known as “Beautiful Madness,” aggressively took control and dominated early on. When Green tried to escape the ring, Giulia followed and slammed her against the commentary table. At ringside, Giulia countered an attack from Fire, and Green executed a suicide dive while her opponent was distracted. Still, Giulia maintained control, locking Green in a sleeper hold. The two exchanged powerful strikes, and Green struck back with a kick. Attempting to finish with the Unprettier and then the Rough Rider, Green was thwarted when Kiana James distracted the referee during a pin attempt.
Giulia missed an Arrivederci knee strike, and Green tried to pin her with a quick roll-up, but Giulia kicked out. Green climbed to the top rope, only to be caught and slammed with a butterfly suplex by Giulia. Giulia then hit the Aurora Bomb, securing the victory and the championship.
Fan Take: This showdown between Giulia and Chelsea Green illustrates the depth and excitement in WWE’s women’s division, highlighting the fierce competition that drives great storytelling. Giulia’s win not only cements her legacy as a two-time champion but sets up fresh possibilities for new rivalries and thrilling matches in the coming year.
