Delmi Exo Claims That Before It Aired, Winning The Mlw Women’s Featherweight Championship Didn’t Seem Real

Delmi Exo reflects on winning the MLW Women’s Featherweight Title.

Delmi Exo defeated Taya Valkyrie to win the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship on April 6 at the MLW Fusion tapings. The title change didn’t air until the June 15 episode of MLW Fusion. Delmi and numerous fans had known for two months that she was the MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion, but the bulk of the world had yet to see it.

Delmi told Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl on In The Weeds what went through her head as she finally saw the title change on television.

“Because it wasn’t a live experience, we’re kind of in an age where everything is live streamed, and you get that instant gratification, not only from the crowd, but you get it from the people watching at home. When I did win the title, not having that sort of instant hype behind it and being able to run with it right away, kind of felt like I didn’t actually win it yet. Having it air and having all that support come out from it airing and people seeing it and seeing how it played out, it was a rewarding feeling. It happened, it’s real, it felt so much more connected to the actual championship than the match itself,” she said. “Even when I won the belt, there is always a chance that they could scrap the episode or lose the footage, ‘Ah, sorry we have to take the belt back.’ It’s show business [laughs]. Having it air finally, it felt like I’m here in this company, this is where I belong.”

Delmi also gave an update on her sister and tag team partner Ashley Vox in the interview.

Exo will compete at MLW Never Say Never on July 8th, defending her MLW Women’s Featherweight Title against Ava Everett, who will defend her wXw World Women’s Championship.
