Funaki made a cameo on the September 10th episode of NXT, acting as the translator for Giulia.
Giulia made with NXT GM Ava backstage and helped them communicate.
They were interrupted by Roxanne Perez, and Giulia spoke to her without needing the help of Funaki.
"You're scared, and you should be."

Thanks for the help @shofufu824, but Giulia wanted to send this message to @roxanne_wwe personally! --@giulia0221g #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/EDiecihmzB
