2024 Women’s Owen Hart Cup winner Mariah May will face “Timeless” Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship this Sunday at the All In PPV at Wembley Stadium.
Mariah has a non-PG celebration planned at her home pool if she becomes champion. Here’s what she said during an interview with Fightful at the media event before All In:
“It’s been amazing. It’s always good when you get to leave this country, but no, it’s really cool to be back here, and we had a show in Cardiff, and I used to wrestle in Wales a lot on the indies, which was horrendous.
So just to be back there and to be a part of AEW and to be a part of the most-talked about story in wrestling right now is just an incredible experience.
I love living in America, I got a real nice little house in Florida with a pool, as I should. I’m gonna be out there with both belts, maybe no bikini.”
Speaking of Mariah, she addressed kissing Mina Shirakawa on AEW TV (and on one occasion, sharing a triple kiss that also involved “Timeless” Toni Storm).
Here’s what she said on Wrestling with Freddie:
“It was not pitched. We just did it. Mina and I are extremely close. We’ve always been very close in Stardom. We just did it. The next time around, they were like, ‘Hey, can you guys stop kissing?’
I think there’s a bit of an archaic view on it and people seem to think we have no autonomy over our bodies. It’s my choice who I kiss. It’s my choice what I do. If I’m not comfortable doing something, I would always say so.
I remember seeing, you know, the usual suspects, being like, ‘Oh my God. This is setting women’s wrestling back so much.’ It’s like, first of all, no one made us do it. We chose to do it. That’s just how we show affection to each other and we always have in our friendship.
Like I said, if I don’t want to do something, I won’t, but myself, Mina, and Toni are three extremely decorated women’s wrestlers who, off our own backs, have become very successful all over the world, and so to try and tell us we’re setting women’s wrestling back was pretty crazy to me.
The numbers don’t lie. I think myself, Toni, and Mina got the best rated segments for about 8 weeks in a row, and as we should.”
