The WWE Women’s United States Championship has a new owner. On the June 27 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, broadcast from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Giulia defeated Zelina Vega to capture the title.
The match was Giulia’s first championship opportunity on the main roster and she made the most of it, ending Vega’s reign in a hard-fought contest. The victory marks a major moment for Giulia, who has been presented as a top star since signing with the company last year.
For Vega, the loss brings her first reign as Women’s United States Champion to an end. The title change took place on the go-home show for this weekend’s Night of Champions premium live event.
Giulia necesitaba el título de los Estados Unidos y el título de Estados Unidos necesitaba a Giulia. Es la mejor decisión para ambas partes, aunque me da miedo de que no tenga tiempo ahora que SmackDown pasa a las dos horas.
