Hikaru Shida is mentally and physically prepared for the women’s world title fatal four way match tomorrow at AEW All In.
The two time AEW Women’s World Champion recaptured the gold at AEW Dynamite 200 when she toppled The Outcasts and Toni Storm. Now, she is scheduled to compete in a fatal four way match to defend her title at AEW All In. Toni Storm and Saraya will also be involved in the match, while Britt Baker will round out the competitors in the bout.
In a new interview with Fightful, Shida talked about her title defense tomorrow night, noting that she couldn’t even imagine the crowd size at tomorrow night’s event.
“Actually, I can’t imagine. I can’t imagine. My biggest show I watched live was Tokyo Dome in Japan, and Wembley Stadium is two times bigger. I can’t imagine it [yet]. I think that’s why I’m not so nervous now. I don’t know why, but I feel so ready for the match, not only physically but mentally too.”
“I think we have shared [a lot] of history in AEW and I feel like we need her in this match because this is the best [place to] show what AEW’s women’s division [is]. Me and Britt Baker, I think we are AEW’s Women’s Division. I’m so glad she’s in this match, but we are not friends. We are a tag team now and we’re working together, but we are not friends, I feel like our connection is more special. That’s why I can smash her if I need, but she can do the same. I’m glad she’s here and [I’m ready] to beat her ass.”

Baker is the one who ended Shida’s first reign as AEW Women’s Champion, defeating her at AEW Double Or Nothing 2021.
