Io Shirai was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated, Io spoke about her upcoming triple threat match with Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez at Takover: Vengeance Day , as well as a possible WrestleMania match.
Io had the following to say about the triple threat match against Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez and what she respects about them:
“Despite Toni’s young age, she has already experienced and accomplished so much in this business. It is not easy to travel around the world, compete in different promotions and stay on top wherever you go. Toni has managed to do that wherever she has been, including NXT. And Mercedes Martinez, I feel a lot of veteran confidence with Mercedes since she has had the longest career among the three of us. The fact that she came to NXT for title shots proves she is still very hungry, and not just satisfied with being here or what she has done in the past.”
Io Shirai also spoke about a potential WrestleMania match with Meiko Satamura:
“No question about it. WrestleMania is the grandest stage we have in this business and I have always wanted to compete under that spotlight. A match with Meiko Satomura is another dream match for me. Fortunately she has joined NXT UK, making it a real possibility now. I am so excited.”
