Hikaru Shida wants more promo time in her second reign as AEW Women’s World Champion.
Shida dethroned Toni Storm during AEW Dynamite 200 on August 2nd marking the second time she would call herself the world champion of All Elite Wrestling.
Shida is set to defend her title in a fatal four way match at All In that also features Storm and Saraya, with a final qualifier happening on this week’s AEW Dynamite.
In an interview with Denise Salcedo, Shida discussed what she wants to achieve in her second reign, leading with more promo time on AEW TV.
“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 previously held the AEW Women’s World Championship but would drop the title to Britt Baker after over a year as champion.
In the same interview, Shida would mention how much she wants Baker to be part of the fatal four way match. Baker will take on The Bunny on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite in the final qualifier for the All In match up.
