"Things like the cheering of the audience and anticipation for the matches changed, challengers came out one after another, and after I broke the record, I felt that the way people looked at me and their opinion of me had changed."
Coincidentally, the unit Kamitani belongs to is "Queen's Quest (QQ)", which was founded by IYO. Kamitani made her debut after IYO transferred to WWE in the US in June 2018, so they never crossed paths in the ring, but they share similarities as IYO is the founder of QQ and is good at aerial attacks, so Saya practices with IYO in mind.
"I studied the dropkick from a backflip, which I sometimes use, by watching IYO-san’s videos, and I have a lot of respect for the wrestlers who came from STARDOM to be working in the WWE like this. I want to carve a new legend into this belt and put on matches that shine as brightly as IYO-san and her friends' overseas." The time has come for the phoenix to fly its wings.
