– Giulia showed up in Philadelphia and successfully defended her NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship against Gisele Shaw, Momo Kohgo, and Deonna Purrazzo. She even gave Momo a reminder of why not to mess with her after the match.
Giulia: “I’m not done in the US and not done with this title either. Who’s next? Anyone, any promotion, I’m down—but the STRONG Champ only wants strong challengers.”#MultiverseUnited2
