I have nothing but the utmost respect & gratitude for WWE, who always believed I could become a champion, regardless of race or nationality.
Tonight, my chance finally arrived.
I don’t have a tag partner, but I definitely have a wonderful family & home.#WWENXT
At last, I can call myself champion.
When I think about the tough & painful times, I was able to achieve this, largely in part to your support!
I am truly grateful for everyone who gave me courage.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!
Above is post-show video of McKenzie Mitchell catching up with Shirai.
"Yeah, I did it. I got it, finally," Shirai said before speaking in Japanese. She continued, "Rhea Ripley is tough, Charlotte is tough, but I am the NXT Women's Champion."
Paige, Nattie, Sasha, Becky, Bayley, Asuka, Shayna and so many more. This belongs to you now. Congrats @shirai_io

I’ve been in a lot of wrestling rings lately (I know you all know
). Sharing the ring with @RheaRipley_WWE and @shirai_io tonight was a continuation of the legacy of the #WWENXT women’s division....
Flair also tweeted after the title loss and gave props to both competitors.
