Hikaru Shida to Defend Her Title Against Emi Sakura
In a thrilling turn of events, tonight’s AEW Dynamite episode promises a clash of titans as Hikaru Shida is set to face her mentor, Emi Sakura. This isn’t just any match; it’s a title eliminator. If Sakura emerges victorious, she’ll be in line for a shot at Shida’s AEW Women’s World Championship. The history between the two is rich, with Shida having won both of their previous one-on-one encounters in AEW.
Last week’s Dynamite Title Tuesday saw Shida triumph over Saraya, earning her the AEW Women’s World Championship. This marks her third time holding the prestigious title. On the other hand, Sakura faced a setback last Friday on Rampage, losing to Skye Blue.
Tonight’s Dynamite episode, emanating from the Fort Bend Epicenter in Rosenberg, Texas, is packed with other exciting segments. Highlights include the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal, Jay White vs. Penta El Zero Miedo, Kenny Omega vs. Kyle Fletcher, and Sting addressing his fans. Additionally, Adam Copeland will present a rebuttal to Christian Cage, and Toni Storm will debut her latest film. The evening will also feature a special sit-down interview with Nick Wayne and his mother, conducted by Jim Ross.
