Hikaru Shida recently spoke with Sports Illustrated for an interview promoting the AEW ALL OUT 2022 pay-per-view on Sunday night.
During the discussion, the former AEW Women's Champion spoke about how she is ready to spend the rest of her life trying to defeat Britt Baker, as well as being surprised to hear about Thunder Rosa's injury.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how she plans to spend the rest of her life trying to beat Britt 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 how she was surprised to hear about Thunder Rosa’s 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.”
