Speaking to Tokyo Sports, Marigold founder and promoter Rossy Ogawa said negotiations with WWE began in March, and continued in April when he met with Triple H while attending WrestleMania XL alongside Giulia.

"It must be because of my relationship with Giulia. They responded to our request. They said that all that was left was to adjust the schedule, and that was only recently cleared up."

Ogawa noted that it's no secret that WWE is looking to sign Giulia and that sending IYO for an event was a "condition of exchange."

The article states that the footage aired of IYO at the Marigold event on June 11 was filmed on June 10 at WWE Raw.

Giulia is scheduled to face Sareee at Marigold Summer Destiny.
