Mariah May is confident that her reign will last a long time.
Mariah Beat Toni Storm to win the AEW Women's World Championship at AEW All In. She then successfully defended the title against Nyla Rose on the September 4th episode of AEW Dynamite.
Speaking on Rasslin' with Brandon F. Walker, Mariah May made it clear that she was not scared of anyone in the women's division.
“I’m not scared of anyone. Look what I did to Toni Storm. Toni Storm was the greatest champion we ever had. A lot of women tried to take that championship off her. I know because I was ringside for all of it, and they couldn’t. [Walker notes that May helped her]. That’s still a testament to Toni Storm, for having me there, for having Luther there," May said.
May went on to express her belief that it would take "something very special" to get the title off of her. She highlighted her journey to the tip and stated that it would take someone very special to remotely challenge her for the title.
"I think it’s gonna take something very special to get this championship off me. I think I’m, at 26 years old, one of the best wrestlers in the locker room, but I know for sure I’m the smartest woman in that locker room. I came in, in my first year and destroyed Toni Storm, who’s our top girl, completely destroyed her as a person, took this championship off her at Wembley Stadium at All In. Some of those girls haven’t even been on All In. So I think it would take someone very special to even remotely challenge me for this," May said.
When asked how long she anticipated keeping the title, May reiterated that she did not know who could take it off of her.
May also said that she did not think that Toni Storm would return to AEW. Check out her comments here.
