Hikaru Shida is one of the mainstays of the women’s division in AEW and one of the most talented female pro wrestlers in the world right now. She was the AEW Women’s Champion for well over a year after winning the title from Nyla Rose at Double or Nothing last year.
Hikaru Shida lost the AEW Women’s World Championship to Britt Baker at Double Or Nothing last year. Since then she has largely not been part of the main event scene for the women’s division.
Shida also recently stated that she was struggling to survive in AEW. Shida held a q&s session on Twitter where she was asked by a fan what her favorite moment in AEW was. Shida had a very grim reply as she seemingly hinted at Frustration with her AEW booking.

Hikaru Shida was written off AEW television as she left the United States and is now living in Japan. We will have to see how long it takes for Hikaru Shida to make her way back to the United States as the AEW women’s division certainly needs her.
