During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, AEW wrestler Hikaru Shida commented on her rivalry with Britt Baker, her reaction to Thunder Rosa stepping down as AEW Women’s Champion, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the scope of her rivalry with Baker: “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.”
On her reaction to Thunder Rosa stepping down: “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.”
