Anna Jay: ‘The best is yet to come’ after first Stardom tour
Anna Jay is on her way back to AEW after competing in her first tour for Stardom.
The 26-year-old Jay wrapped up her first Japan tour on Saturday with a victory over Momo Kohgo. In post-match comments, Jay reflected on the rewarding experience she had competing for Stardom. Jay feels better than she’s ever felt and believes the best is yet to come.
“Well, my last match of my first Stardom tour. I feel a lot of things. I feel good. I feel tired, obviously. And I feel a little sad, you know? I’m leaving this experience, and while it’s been the most challenging experience of my wrestling career, it’s also been the most fulfilling [and] the most rewarding. The girls here are incredible, and I can’t believe that I got to work with them,” Jay said.
“And let me say this: I might not be on their level — not yet — but I hung in there with the best of them. And that was my goal, to get better. To be doing my best here while I’m here. And the best is yet to come. AEW, I’ll see you soon. And everyone’s on notice because I feel the best I’ve ever felt and I’m gonna use it.”
Jay debuted for Stardom earlier this month as an entrant in the 5 Star Grand Prix, finishing with a 3-3 record in her tournament matches.
Kohgo said she was honored to be Jay’s last opponent of the tour and would like to team up with her in the future.
In Saturday’s main event, the 2024 5 Star Grand Prix concluded with Maika defeating Saya Kamitani in the tournament finals.
