Hikaru Shida says she and Britt Baker will fight forever.
Shida and Baker will compete in the four-way match that will also include Jamie Hayter and Toni Storm for the AEW Interim Women's World Championship at AEW All Out.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Shida previewed the match. She discussed her history with Baker, who beat her to win the AEW Women's World Championship at Double or Nothing 2021. She noted that she'll spend the rest of her life wanting to beat the former champion in wrestling and beyond.
"We’ve both been in AEW since the first Double or Nothing. We’ve had three singles matches, but to me, it feels like we had a lot more. But it doesn’t matter how many times we wrestle. I will spend the rest of my life wanting to beat her. That’s not just wrestling, either. I want to beat her in everything, from now until forever," Shida said.
Shida was also asked whether she was surprised to see AEW Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa step down due to injury.
"Yes, I was surprised. It is a huge opportunity and responsibility. It still is. For me, I want to show my skill whenever I am in the ring. The Regina di Wave title match meant so much to me because I need to be great every night as champion. I want to be an international champion for AEW, and I want to be even more aggressive when I have the crowd behind me," she said.
Rosa recently provided an update on her injury. You can check out her comments here.
