Hikaru Shida defeated Toni Storm to win the AEW Women’s World Championship on the August 2 episode of AEW Dynamite.
Shida previously defeated Nyla Rose to win the championship at AEW Double or Nothing 2020 before dropping it to Britt Baker at AEW Double or Nothing 2021.
While doing an interview with Denise Salcedo, Shida discussed her goals for her second reign.
“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. 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,” Shida said.
