Julia's comment
"In my singles match against Iida, even though we're both in the rookie category, we're both champions. I went into today's match with Iida feeling like it was a title match. There's something really captivating about watching Iida's matches, and during the match I thought she was fighting really hard, doing amazing pro wrestling, and I thought she was a great wrestler, so I was really looking forward to today's match, but when we did it I realized that she's a wrestler on a different level than the rookie category, and there were some parts where we just didn't click, but it was fun. She's still nowhere near my level, but I was a little worried that she might overtake me if I wasn't careful. Next time we fight, I want to have a singles match with the belt on the line. Thank you very much. Arrivederci, see you next time."
