AEW star Mariah May spoke with Fightful on a number of topics, including finally being able to take part in storylines, something she wasn’t able to do in Japan.
May said, “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. 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. 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.”
