"Hello WWA fans! It's me Dia Shirley Burroughs! A lot has happened since Onsen A Lifetime, hasn't it? We have a new World Champion and with that new and exciting opportunities have presented themselves."
"Some of you may be aware of my commitment to the Hardcore Division and my mission to elevate the Hardcore Championship to main event status. That is still my goal, but after failing to defeat Red Hands on three separate occasions I feel it's time to step back and give others a chance to step up. Red Hands is a excellent fighter so to whoever decides to face her I wish you the best of luck. A little professional advice for you ladies; buy a gumshield because our champion doesn't hold back when she starts swinging fists or throwing headbutts, ask young Keron Croakie about the latter."
>Dia's sunny disposition drops and is replaced with a more serious expression
"M. Alice, I still owe you for what you did at the White Tower. You took something for me, so it's only appropriate that I take something from you in return, correct? If the WWA World Championship is your goal then my task is to deny you of the prize you seek, which is why BSD is formally requesting to participate in the Divine Trials."
>Dia visibly relaxes
"I heard that young Ash Romero, the Firebird, also plans on participating in the Divine Trials. How exciting! For some reason a one on one match with Cactus Jane continues to elude me but an opportunity to defeat M. Alice and fight Firebird is just too good of an opportunity to pass up. I know you Hardcore fans are a passionate bunch and you've all been so supportive of me since I debuted here in WWA so I hope you'll forgive me for doing something a little selfish and continue to cheer for me through the trials. Let's show them what Hardcore is all about!"
