Giulia was dealing with significant soreness following her match on 3/27 WWE SmackDown, according to comments from her personal trainer.
Matthew Ennis shared details in a now-deleted Instagram post, explaining that the WWE Women’s United States Champion came into her next training session in rough condition after her match with Tiffany Stratton. While no specific injury was identified, Ennis made it clear that the physical toll of the bout forced a change in plans.
“Giulia came into her session today very banged up from her match last Friday on SmackDown,” Ennis said. “Normally, this would be our full lower body day, but today was not a good day for that because she was in so much pain. Low back pain, knee pain, hip pain, shoulders, you name it.”
Rather than pushing through the discomfort, the session was modified to focus on recovery and mobility.
“So instead of sticking to a rigid plan, we adapted today on the fly, and the goal is just simply to have her walk out of the gym feeling better,” Ennis explained. “Thankfully, through a full body, activation, mobility, stretching circuit, we were able to achieve that goal. And now we’ll be more prepared to push harder tomorrow, and that’s a big thing for pro wrestlers. Depending on how your body feels, you may need to adjust the workout for the day.”
Giulia faced Stratton in a non-title match on the March 27 episode of SmackDown. The finish saw Kiana James provide a distraction, allowing Giulia to counter a moonsault attempt by getting her knees up before securing a cradle pin for the victory.
As of now, there is no confirmation on whether Giulia and Stratton will meet again at WrestleMania 42. Stratton recently addressed the speculation in an interview with The Schmo.
“Yeah, I have heard those rumors too, and I feel like they’re just rumors because I haven’t really been told anything that I’m on WrestleMania,” Stratton said. “But we’ll have to wait and see. I hope there’s a championship involved.”
At this stage, Giulia’s condition appears to be limited to general soreness rather than a serious injury, though her status will continue to be monitored as WWE builds toward WrestleMania weekend.
