Hikaru Shida On Asuka – ‘For Now, We Don’t Talk’

Hikaru Shida recently spoke with Denise Salcedo on the “Instinct” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including her current relationship with Asuka.

Additionally, the AEW Women’s World Champion commented on Asuka teaching her how to act, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On her relationship with Asuka: “For now, we don’t talk, but I had been freelance after six years, I started wrestling and when I became freelance, Kana-san told me many things, like how I negotiate with the companies and how I wrestle as [a] freelancer. “She was always like a teacher for me. I don’t know how she feels, but for me, she was kind of a teacher, especially after I became a freelance because she was also freelance. So, she told me a lot of things. And after she came to the U.S., actually we [didn’t] talk, maybe only one or two times. So, we don’t talk and we don’t text each other, but still, I learned so many things.”

On learning how to act as a champion from Asuka: “Even [though] we don’t talk, she’s [still] my teacher [on] how I behave as a champion and how we [succeed] in other countries. I absolutely respect her even if we don’t talk. I’m so happy she is here and she’s [succeeded] a lot.”
