Channeling her inner Tifa Lockhart, Hikaru Shida unlocked her unbridled strength on Saturday night when he managed to pin Nyla Rose for the AEW Women's World Championship at Double or Nothing.. After getting thrown through multiple tables and utterly dominated throughout the No-DQ, No Countout match, Shida managed to even the odds once she got her hands on her trademark kendo stick and started whacking "The Native Beast." She managed to keep the champion down after hitting a top rope Falcon Arrow, a kendo stick shot to the head and two Running Knee strikes.

Shida was the No. 1 contender for Rose's championship for more than two months, but due to the pandemic she wasn't able to challenge for the title until this weekend. She now becomes the third champion in the title's young history behind Rose and Riho.
