Mia Yim, a 35-year-old WWE Superstar, has taken a significant step closer to making her name etched in the company’s records permanently. Following a surprising victory, Yim sent a message to her fans, stating that she would not fail this time around. This bold declaration comes as no surprise, considering the WWE Women’s Championship Tournament is underway, and Yim has set her sights on becoming the inaugural Women’s US Champion.

In that context, Yim’s recent qualifying match against Piper Niven and Lash Legend was highly anticipated. Despite Legend having the upper hand, with her powerful finisher, Lash Extension, firmly planted on Niven, the OC member seized the opportunity to steal a win by pinning Niven herself. The match was a rollercoaster ride, with Legend appearing to have the edge until Yim intervened and secured the victory.

Following the win, Byron Saxton approached Yim for an interview. In a candid moment, Yim expressed her readiness to become the inaugural Women’s US Champion. She also drew attention to her past failures, specifically citing her chance to become the first-ever NXT Women’s North American champion. Yim emphasized that she had fumbled her opportunities in the past, but this time, she is determined to seize the moment and make it happen.

Yim’s message to her fans was clear: she would not falter again. She proclaimed, “I will not be missing now I’ve fumbled my opportunities to become the first-ever women’s NXT North American champion. This time, I will not fumble becoming the first ever Women’s US Champion. This is not a want but a need. I will be the first.” Her words conveyed a sense of urgency and conviction, hinting at a newfound resolve within her.

As Yim progresses through the tournament, she will undoubtedly face stiff competition from other participants, including Chelsea Green, Bayley, and her next-round opponent, yet to be determined. Her path to the title will not be easy, but it is clear that she is more focused and driven than ever before.

Yim’s promise to herself is a testament to her determination and willingness to learn from past mistakes. Her fans will be eagerly watching her journey, hoping to see her become the inaugural Women’s US Champion. Will she be able to overcome the challenges ahead and make good on her promise? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Mia Yim is more determined than ever to make history in the WWE.
