The championship match served as the latest chapter in a heated rivalry that has defined the Women’s United States title picture in recent months. After losing the title late last year and watching Chelsea Green celebrate her victory, Giulia made it clear that reclaiming the gold was her top priority. On SmackDown, she backed up those words with action.

The bout was competitive from start to finish, with Green using her experience and ring awareness to keep Giulia off balance. However, Giulia’s intensity, speed, and resilience ultimately turned the tide. Capitalizing on a key opening, she delivered her signature offense and secured the pinfall, earning a loud reaction from the live crowd as the referee counted three.
This win marks Giulia’s second reign as Women’s United States Champion and further solidifies her place as one of the brand’s most reliable and dangerous competitors. Her previous title run helped establish the championship as a meaningful prize, and reclaiming it so early in 2026 positions her as the face of the division moving forward.
Since joining WWE, Giulia has consistently delivered standout performances, quickly gaining the trust of fans and management alike. Her unique blend of hard-hitting offense and emotional connection with the audience has made her one of SmackDown’s must-watch stars.
With the championship back around her waist, attention now shifts to what comes next. Several contenders on SmackDown will undoubtedly be watching closely, eager for a chance to challenge the newly crowned champion. Whether this reign surpasses her previous one remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Giulia has once again set the standard for excellence in the Women’s United States division.
As WWE heads deeper into 2026, Giulia’s title victory adds fresh momentum and intrigue to SmackDown’s women’s roster—and her journey as champion is just getting started.
