FROM THE RUMOR MILL

At NXT Roadblock, WWE has taken a title off a champion. When the match between Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer was first announced, fans were left confused, as the company seemingly had no real reason to book a winner-take-all match between the Women's NXT Champion and the Women's North American Champion. When the match took place, Giulia lost her title, and now Stephanie Vaquer holds both titles.

Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live reported on the title change. He noted that Giulia is dealing with two separate issues. The star not only has an injury at this time, which was one of the reasons for taking the WWE title off her, but she is also dealing with Visa issues.
