In anticipation of the event being exactly one month away, New Japaāœ±n Pro Wrestling In the interview, Mone gave some insight into her current mindset and how she plans to become a global superstar.

ā€œIā€™ve never been more excited, more nervous, which I never get nervous, but I am so ready for this. Iā€™ve been dreaming about this, Iā€™ve been really really wanting this and for it to be in the United States in San Jose, California? I have so much history there. Iā€™ve had the greatest matches there. February 18th is gonna be the same. Iā€™m going to make sure that it is the greatest womenā€™s match of all time and when I hold up my championshipā€¦ oh cute little KAIRI, Iā€™m gonna send her back to Japan and she can go back to STARDOM and I can be the global superstar that Iā€™m meant to be. Iā€™m about to take that title everywhere, not just New Japan, but everywhere.ā€
