Hikaru Shida defeated Toni Storm on Wednesday night’s 200th episode of Dynamite, to become the new AEW Women’s World Champion.
Below is an excerpt from Alex Kahrs’ AEW Dynamite recap of how it all went down.
Storm brings Shida back to her feet, shoving her until Shida hits a forearm…and that leads to an exchange of blows between champ and challenger! Shida gets an upper hand but the champ sends her to her knees…only for Shida to hit a knee strike! Falcon Arrow on Toni Storm, but the challenger only gets a nearfall! Saraya grabs the kendo stick and slides it into the ring…only for Shida to grab it, nearly attacking the champ with it!
She thinks better of it, hitting Ruby with the kendo stick…but as the ref gets rid of the kendo stick, Toni hits her with the spray paint! But Shida kicks out! Toni tries to roll Shida up, but gets caught in a high stack as Shida GETS THE PIN AND THE WIN TO WIN THE TITLE!
