Rian confronted her EXV stablemates backstage after their loss to Mi Vida Loca, and slapped all three of them before yelling at them to stop the infighting. The following translation is courtesy of @merawrestling on Twitter; “Enough already! Why aren’t you saying anything backstage? We lost the match, didn’t we? Aren’t you upset about losing? Tsukiyama, get it together. Ever since the unit battle with Mi Vida started, you’ve suddenly begun fighting each other, do you actually have any intention of winning? If things stay as they are, we will definitely lose. After the match, Yamashita asked, ‘Where is the real enemy?’ The real enemy isn’t here, is it! It’s in Mi Vida, right? Let’s make up properly and face the unit battle. Please, make up properly. Let’s go.”
