Momo: "Ah, I'm tired, can I have some water? So, you boring MIRAI, you damn goody-two-shoes MIRAI, you were boring again today. The audience was the same, right? They weren't excited at all. It's all your fault. And tomorrow, Nagoya. If you come tomorrow as that boring MIRAI again, I'll knock you out in seconds. Remember that, man. I'll take this belt and make it the most exciting belt in the world, in your place."
Momo spills water onto the white belt
MIRAI: "All you can do is pour water on the belt and stomp on it, you salty, salty Watanabe Momo. With that kind of attitude, the white belt won't even look at you. Tomorrow, I'll put my heart and soul into it! I'm going to crush you completely, you bastard!"
MIRAI leaves the ring
Momo: "That's why, everything is so boring. Just go home, you idiot! I'm telling you to go home!"
MIRAI leaves the field
Momo: "Tomorrow, I'll be the last one standing in the ring, so you all better watch closely, you damn bastards!"
Momo's comment
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just as you see. I'm not bragging about beating that damn weak Kashima Saki, but it's a fact that MIRAI couldn't beat our Natsuko or Ruanka, she's the champion, what happened to her? Even at the end, she poured water on the belt and that's all she did? That's why I'm saying it's boring. Come on, if you want to show more emotion, then just let it all out. If you still can't show it after all that, then tomorrow you'll be knocked out in seconds."
MIRAI's comment
"All you can do is pour water on the belt and stomp on it, you salty, salty Watanabe Momo. You lost today's preliminary match, your only preliminary match. But I'm glad I was able to fight today before tomorrow's match. At first you challenged me because you wanted to see MIRAI's crying face, but you seem to really, really want this belt. Do you remember how you felt back then, when you defended this belt in the main event despite being called salty? I don't know what kind of dream you had, but if you still have those feelings, then bring them out tomorrow. If you come with shallow emotions, I don't think this white belt will ever turn its head towards you again. Tomorrow, let's clash with even more soul to soul. And after we finish fighting tomorrow, it will be MIRAI who will be smiling."
