“Giulia is on her way. The thing I was told yesterday, heard it could be as early as August 19. I was told yesterday from the Marigold side that it would be the end of August. She’s under contract to WWE, so when WWE wants to start her, she’s going. So the announcement will be made. She’s going to say, ‘I’m leaving for WWE’ and she’s gonna have the date, and it’s coming up very, very soon, and she’ll be starting in NXT.
Stephanie Vaquer should be starting immediately. She’s free and clear. Both of them are gonna be in WWE imminently.”
