Yuzuki Aikawa - Last week was difficult for me. I had held onto that title for so long, I didn’t think anyone would beat me for it. But props to Mickie James, she was better than me last week. Last week there was also a new JPP Singles Champion crowned, a champion I know well. Back when Victoria was the CPW Women’s Champion, I beat her for that title and I beat her in the rematches we had. She hasn’t beat me yet. Victoria, those losses must be nagging at you. If you put the title on the line, I’ll give you the chance to try to beat me.
