Hikaru Shida discusses her goals for her second title reign.
On the August 2 episode of AEW Dynamite, Shida defeated Toni Storm to win the AEW Women's World Championship. In doing so, she won the title for the second time; she previously defeated Nyla Rose to win the championship at AEW Double or Nothing 2020. Britt Baker later beat Shida to win the gold at AEW Double or Nothing 2021.
In 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.
