Hikaru Shida believes she and Britt Baker will fight forever.
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.
“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 would also comment on Thunder Rosa’s injury that has lead to Shida being involved in a fatal four way match for an interim Women’s Champion.
“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,”
