Hikaru Shida, the reigning AEW women’s champion, is determined to make her second reign stand out from her first. In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo, Shida discussed her plans for this championship run, including cutting more promos and being a fighting champion.
During the interview, Shida expressed her desire to showcase her promo skills in the ring, something she felt limited by in her previous reign. She explained, “What I want to do in this reign is what I couldn’t before, so yeah, the interview is one of those. I really want to do a promo in the ring, where I couldn’t before because of that worry about the English. But now I feel I can do that.”
Shida also emphasized her goal of being a fighting champion and defending her title against a variety of challengers. She stated, “Of course, I want to wrestle many girls in AEW, but I want to build more library. In Japan, we usually have many matches before the title match, and we build the storylines and the fans’ excitement. So I’m happy if I can do that in this reign too.”
Next up for Shida is a title defense in a Four-Way match at the August 27th All In pay-per-view event in London. In the same interview, she revealed her hope for one AEW superstar to earn a spot in that match. You can find more details about that on Wrestling Headlines.
