AEW star Mariah May spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of pro wrestling related topics, including her championship match against AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm at All In.
May said, “It’s going to be a cinematic masterpiece. I’ve already taken Toni from black-and-white into technicolor. Wembley is her curtain call and a new start for me.”
On being interested in the storyline from the moment it was pitched to her:
“I was a bit of a black-and-white film nerd growing up, especially as a teenager, so I knew all about it. I love theater, and I became obsessed with old black-and-white movies. I’d wake up, have a cup of tea, and watch. So it felt like a completely normal idea to me–it tied into my life. I wanted to draw from it, but never copy it black and white, no pun intended. I wanted to bring Mariah May into the story, that glamour. I don’t remember anyone getting beat by a shoe like I did to Toni.”
