◈ EGO ◈
VS. COSMO GOLDWORTHY | SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE 8/16/2026
SAYURI HIMURA: I’m not going to sugarcoat what happened at Bloodsport; needless to say, I am extremely disappointed in myself. I walked into the event expecting to teach Auburn Ware a lesson, to show her exactly the type of competitor that Sayuri Himura was in the ring, regardless of the circumstances. Even though people can say that I had an exceptional performance, where I went out there and gave it everything that I had despite the match not playing in my favor… it doesn’t change the facts. The fact is that I did not have my hand raised as the victor, but at the very least, I think that I can take something out of this… and that’s that I continue to get back up. People just like Auburn Ware did everything in their power to try and warp Sayuri Himura into something that she is not, making it seem like this was merely a facade. But I am still here; my psyche has not been compromised, and regardless of how people may feel about it, it is my mission to continue forward in the name of the Himura family. I don’t believe in senseless violence. More so, I don’t believe that this issue with Auburn Ware is something that I will pursue any further. Yes, she attacked me from behind after she won, and that is nothing resembling the honor and discipline that I preach, but I believe that I have long accepted that she was never the person that I chalked her up to be. She was never going to shake my hand and show me the respect that I tried to give her, and it’s clear that she has a very fragile state of mind right now that she needs to go out and handle on her own. That is not my problem, and that is something that I have stated from the very beginning. Right now, Sayuri Himura needs to focus on herself and only herself, and considering that Season 20 has not started how I would have preferred, the priority right now is getting back on track and continuing to show everyone what I have to bring to this ring. I was never going to come to this company to stand in the back and allow everyone else to pass me by; no, I made the trip from my homeland of Japan for one reason and one reason only… and that is to be the very best. It was never going to be easy, but the reality is that the only way you can improve is by surrounding yourself with wrestlers who are on the level that you strive to be at. So no matter what happens going forward, which I myself cannot answer with the utmost certainty, all I know is that I will continue to be here. I will stand tall in a Voltage ring, looking to prove without a shadow of doubt that through everything that I have gone through, Sayuri Himura is right.
And once I get there… absolutely no one will be able to stop me.
But right now, my mission is completely focused on this weekend. My priorities are set on making sure that I make everything right in this match I have against someone who this will be my first time facing in singles action, Cosmo Goldworthy. He is an interesting person to me because nobody is going to deny the talent that he has, the potential which he possesses, but at the same time… we also can’t deny the ego that is holding him back. The one thing that weighs him down is that while I am not going to say that ego is something that does not equate to success, having an ego is having confidence; there is nothing wrong with that. At the same time, what I am saying is that you need to be able to back that up in the ring, and right now… that is something that he has failed to do. You and your partner, Diamond Dixon, are in the same boat, and it comes as no surprise to me that the two of you are attracted to one another in the manner that you are. But I don’t think that anyone is denying that you believe you should be in a better position right now. Pain For Pride was your opportunity to walk away with the Unified Tag Team Championships… and it didn’t happen. Bloodsport was your chance to get back on track with the Walk of Death… and you ended up unsuccessful. That is not to completely outlaw any sort of response toward myself and my similar issues when it comes to my career, but with an ego like yours… it is clear to me what you will become. That is the dividing line between people who succeed in this company and people who don’t, whether or not you will be willing to push that aside to succeed. I will tell you what I told Auburn Ware… I am not telling you to do anything. At the end of the day, whatever you do is completely your choice; it is your career. But I am just suggesting to you what I see from a distance, and giving you a reason why I am going to reap the benefits of your ego and come out on top. Ultimately, if you are not willing to do that, then I do not imagine a world where you’re going to come out on top, and that’s not just going to be bad for you, but that’s going to be bad for your partner as well, because you’re not just fighting for yourself, are you…? No, this is a collaborative effort, and if you’re the one weighing everything down, then simply put, it is no longer collaborative.
I do imagine there is a world where you do everything that you promised you would do, Cosmo Goldworthy. But truth be told, you are far too egotistical and uncaring for me to even try and buy into that. That may not be a problem for you, and maybe it might not be something that deters you regardless of whatever circumstance that you find yourself in. But the reality is that I am a woman who values honor and discipline in her life, and while it may not be anyone’s cup of coffee, especially when they’re on the Voltage brand, it is something that puts me under intense scrutiny every single week I am participating in the match. So I feel as though it is only right to turn it around against you. Where will your ego get you, Cosmo Goldworthy? Will it get you to the shambolic position that you were left in after Bloodsport? Because if that is the case, then you clearly have some reevaluation to do to make sure that you get back on track. Voltage is competitive; this brand is a very hungry place, and people won’t be afraid to step on some toes to get what they want around here, especially if it means shutting an ego like yours up as well. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, and if you’re not going to put your best foot forward and instead treat everything like it’s a guarantee, then you’re never going to make it. So in my opinion, Cosmo Goldworthy, you’re going to have to make a choice. Am I going to enter this match and see you at your fullest potential? I hope that is the case, if it is not, then you might as well stop wasting my time, and more importantly, you might as well stop wasting Diamond Dixon’s time as well, because the last thing that she needs to do is be held back by you when she is someone who has been established for Elite Answers Wrestling for years on her own two feet, no benefit comes out of it if you are not going to give anything back. I want to expect more out of you, Cosmo Goldworthy. I want to see what you tell everyone else and, more importantly, I want to believe it. But right now, I just can’t find myself doing that, and maybe once you finally wake up and smell the roses, then you’ll see exactly what happens. I am going to beat you this week, and maybe that’ll be enough to make you see things from my perspective. If not, that’s fine; we all choose our own paths, and you just happened to choose the one to failure. That is okay. Because I have chosen my own, and one way or another, I will succeed.
さようなら
Sayonara.
