Mariah May comments on the long-term storytelling in her rivalry with Toni Storm and has a very playfully grim promise for their upcoming match at Wembley Stadium.
Mariah May stepped into a movie plot from the moment she signed with AEW and began targeting Toni Storm. May previously stated that the whole reason she joined AEW. A chapter of their story will climax when they face off for the AEW Women's World Championship at AEW All In: London on August 25.
Prior to the event, Mariah May spoke with Fightful's Shirleigh about how amazing the storyline has been and how much she's always wanted to be a part of stories like this.
“It’s been amazing. I always wanted to be a part of storylines, and I loved wrestling in Japan so much. But because I was a foreigner, I never really got to do the storylines so much," she explained during the media scrum prior to AEW All In. "I tried. I pushed a little bit here and there, but it was mostly comedy; it was very light. It was never as deep and intense as this. To be a part of something like this and to really go through the history of myself and Toni Storm, because I’ve followed her since I stepped in for her at PROGRESS, I followed her to STARDOM, I followed her to AEW, and what you’re seeing isn’t fake, it’s real.
"I’ve seen all the hype and excitement for All In, and a lot of it is for us, as it should be," she continued. "I’m about to murder a woman in front of 50,000-plus people, but to see that kind of level of excitement, and I’ve seen a lot of women say how much that they have enjoyed this, it’s for everybody, but the fact that it’s for women and they can enjoy i and be like, ‘Oh, this is realistic,’ and it was written by RJ City, who is an old lady."
Elsewhere during the interview, May explained how she would like to celebrate her championship victory. Read her comments here.
