Hikaru Shida wants Britt Baker.
Hikaru Shida issued a challenge to Britt Baker for the July 24th episode of AEW Dynamite. Shida said she broke Baker's nose once, and she would do it again at AEW Dynamite Blood & Guts. Shida noted that Baker was going after Mercedes Mone and the AEW TBS Title, but she needs to get in line.
The challenge came on the July 20th episode of AEW Collision. Shida defeated Skye Blue on AEW Collision by referee stoppage due to an apparent injury to Blue.
