The Japanese joshi fans took Ice Ribbon's side at the time. It was a suppose to be a poach reminiscent of the old AJPW/NJPW poaches but backfired completely on Stardom.
Rossy did it right before Bushiroad bought Stardom and he did it as a sort of crowning jewel of this new announcement.
When all the media wanted to talk about at the big 1st Bushiroad presser was the poach, Kidani was openly mad about it and scolded Rossy in front of everybody.
Giulia left Ice Ribbon in mid-October and wasn't there for any of the Bushiroad press conferences and didn't make her first actual appearance in-ring until 2 months later.
Rumour was that Bushiroad had to meet and buy her contract out from Ice Ribbon because she actually had one.
Ice Ribbon became lifeless when COVID hit. They had a huge year planned with monthly Korakuen Hall shows and it all went to shit and their President Sato rather than fight he waved the white flag, moral tanked and it caused a mass exodus of wrestlers many of whom ended up in Stardom.
Hence - Star Ribbon
Rossy said he felt bad Giulia took such so much criticism for the situation and rocket-strapped her push successfully. That's why she jumped the line on so many.
