Giulia defeated Tiffany Stratton in the United States Championship match on SmackDown.

Quote from Matthew Ennis

"Giulia came into her session today very banged up from her championship defense last Friday on SmackDown. Normally, this would be our full lower-body day, but today was not a good day for that because she was in so much pain, low back pain, knee pain, hip pain, shoulders, you name it."

Ennis later went on to say:

"So instead of sticking to a rigid plan, we adapted today on the fly, and the goal was simply to have her walk out of the gym feeling better. Thankfully, through a full-body activation mobility stretching circuit, we were able to achieve that goal, and now we’ll be more prepared to push harder tomorrow. And that’s a big thing for pro wrestlers. Depending on how your body feels, you may need to adjust the workout for the day."

What this could mean for Giulia after SmackDown

Giulia working through low back, knee, hip, and shoulder pain could lead WWE to manage her in-ring workload carefully in the immediate days ahead. If that recovery plan holds, it also keeps focus on her United States Championship direction after this defense against Stratton.
