Mariah May brutalized Toni Storm after winning the women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament on Dynamite, and she commented on both in a new interview. May spoke with Sports Illustrated about her victory over Willow Nightingale and more, and you can see highlights below:

On winning the women’s Owen Hart Tournament: “Ever since I was a little girl, all I’ve ever wanted was to become a wrestler,” said May. “I wanted to come to America, wrestle on TV, and I wasn’t going to stop until I got here. That’s why I didn’t stop. This is my moment, and no one can do it like me.”

On her rise to get where she is: “I’ve wrestled all over Europe, I’ve wrestled in Japan. I’ve trained dojos and warehouses. I’ve slept on floors. This wasn’t handed to me. I earned it.”

On main eventing this week’s Dynamite: “That was my first chance to main-event Dynamite. Being in the ring with Willow, who has already achieved so much, was a great experience. I’d love to wrestle her again. Who knows, maybe when I’m world champion.”

On her attack of Storm after the match: “That felt like extra celebration for the work I did. That’s what that was… My mother will be there at All In. She’ll watch me from the front row as I destroy what’s left of Toni Storm.”
