AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida will be proud to represent her native Japan at the much-anticipated AEW All In 2023 pay-per-view event.
Shida, who captured the title during the 200th episode of AEW Dynamite, will defend against Saraya, Toni Storm, and Dr. Britt Baker.
Speaking to Sescoops, Shida spoke about representing Japan on her ring attire for the show, a first for the reigning champion. She said,
“This is my first time. And I finally feel I deserve to put the flag [on my attire.] So this is maybe it’s going to be the best gear for me.
“I think the show at Wembley is the biggest show for all Japanese Joshi Wrestler, I think in the history. So finally, I can feel I put my name on the history. That’s my whole life goal. Like, since I was a child, I always wanted to put my name on history somehow. So finally, I feel it’s the time.”
AEW All In 2023 will take place on August 27, from Wembley Stadium in London, England, marking the promotion’s first event outside North America.
