Following her match, Jay gave her thoughts about her victory and debut in Stardom in a backstage press conference.
“My first day in Japan, I got my first win in STARDOM and I cannot wait to keep going. This is exactly what I came here for, to get better, to win, finally, and this is where to do that. And God, I feel good already right now. I’m out of breath, I’m a little tired, I arrived here at 4 am, but here I am, I’m doing it. And this is exactly what I’ve wanted to do all along — do the work and be here with the best.”
