Opening Remarks
Host:
"Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the official press conference for Petal to the Metal, where our dream Star fighters will deliver yet another historic night of action. The main event will feature the reigning and self-proclaimed ace of Marigold, Sareee, defending the World Championship against not one, but two highly deserving challengers—Giulia and Miku Aono. Today, all three competitors are here to share their thoughts ahead of this monumental clash."
Miku Aono Speaks First
Miku Aono:
"Ever since I lost my title, people have doubted me. They said, Miku Aono can't hang in the main event scene. But I've proven them wrong. I rebuilt myself match by match, climbing back up the ladder, and now I'm here—on the verge of becoming the World Champion.
Giulia, you've had your chance. And Sareee, you can call yourself the ace all you want, but I'm the future of Marigold. I've been fighting every week, while you've been waltzing in and out of this company whenever you feel like it. At Petal to the Metal, the freelancing era ends. This title deserves someone who will carry it with pride every single day, and that someone is me."
Giulia Responds
Giulia:
Miku, Miku, Miku... You're right—you've been fighting hard, and I respect that. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. While you were trying to "rebuild yourself," I was making waves in the tag league, showing everyone that Giulia is still a top-tier competitor. And now, I'm back, better than ever.
As for you, Sareee... we have history. I remember all those wars we had, and I know exactly what you're capable of. But I've evolved. You may call yourself the ace, but I'm not the same Giulia you fought a couple months ago. This time, I'm walking out with the title."
Sareee's Retort
Sareee:
Hmph. You two talk a big game, but let's get one thing straight—I'm the one holding this championship. I earned it by defeating the best.
Miku, you think you've rebuilt yourself? Good for you, but "almost good enough" isn't the same as being good enough. And Giulia, I admit you've always been a worthy opponent, but you've never been able to beat me when it matters. Do you really think that's going to change?
I don't care if it's one challenger or two. I'll walk into Petal to the Metal as the ace, and I'll walk out still the World Champion. This isn't about just holding the belt—it's about proving that I'm the face of wrestling, whether I'm in Marigold or anywhere else. The two of you? You're just steppingstones on my path to greatness."
Question Segment
Media Question to Giulia:
"How do you feel about competing in a triple threat instead of a singles match with Sareee?"
Giulia:
"Honestly, I'd prefer it one-on-one. But it doesn't matter. Whether it's one opponent or ten, I'm still walking out with the title. Miku and Sareee can tear each other apart—I'll be there to pick up the pieces."
Media Question to Sareee:
"Do you feel your status as a freelancer puts you at a disadvantage against full-time roster members like Miku and Giulia?"
Sareee:
"Disadvantage? Not at all. Being a freelancer means I face the best from all over the world, not just the same roster every week. That's why I'm on another level. They can try to take this title from me, but they're going to learn that I'm called the ace for a reason."
Closing Statements
