The former champion noted that the women&#8217;s division was stacked on the main roster and turned her attention to NXT. She named Giulia as a potential addition to the popular faction down the line.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to look at NXT right now because the women&#8217;s division is stacked. So, we are going to go with Giulia. Because there is a lot of history with all of the girls in Damage CTRL already, she was in Stardom after I had already left. But I think she would be a great addition. She is super cool,&#8221; said Kai.
