Maika: "I was able to defeat the Oedo Tai, who have been getting in my way lately. As you all know, or rather, I think many of you already have it, I'm on the cover of this week's issue of Weekly Pro Wrestling. Well, I'm going to keep this up and become the empress of Stardom. One more person to appear on the cover, please."
Julia: "Maika, congratulations on your first solo cover! A cover is nothing compared to how much higher you can aim and work hard to reach. Thank you."
Maika: "Today was our first time back in Tochigi in a while. I really wanted to end the show with all five of us from Donna del Mondo, but next time we come back, Himeka will probably be back too, so I'd like to end the show with all five of us again. Natsupoi, Akari, Julia, and Maika, the women who burst forth into the world, Donna del Mondo. Farewell!"
Comment from DDM
Maika: "Recently, I've been able to defeat the Oedo Tai, who have been constantly getting in my way. I've also made the cover of Weekly Pro Wrestling, and although the Cinderella Tournament is still ongoing, I intend to keep this momentum going, win the tournament, and become the empress of Stardom, no, the empress of the pro wrestling world."
Giulia: "Tochigi, Utsunomiya, the first day of our back-to-back matches. Wow, it's been a while since we've had a tag team match in the main event. I'm glad we were able to win. Congratulations on being on the cover of Weekly Pro Wrestling. I'm so happy for you, it feels like it's my own achievement. But I'm not satisfied with this, so I'll keep working hard to aim higher and higher. Tomorrow, I have a singles match against Iwatani Mayu that was suddenly scheduled, and I think that having a singles match against Iwatani Mayu on this day, May23rd, is very meaningful, so I'll think carefully about what I can do now and step into the ring tomorrow."
