Shida lays out a challenge for the Ring of Honor Women’s Champion.
I’ll throw some quotes in the comments.
What a coincidence. I, too, want a champion vs champion match between Shida and Athena. :3
You were the first person I thought of when I made the post lol
Such a match would surely have to headline a PPV, if not main event, right? I couldn’t imagine such an awesome match being used on weekly tv unless they did a best of series, which I would also enjoy.
Agreed. I actually think All Out would make a lot of sense. You don’t need a long build for a match that good…especially when there’s two belts involved.
It’s way too much of a draw to waste on a random Dynamite IMO. Grand Slam level at the very least.
Yes, please!
Just the relevant quote. There’s a bit more at the link, including a twelve minute “sit-down” interview with Shida.
Shida plans to be a fighting champion. When asked if there’s anybody in particular she’s eager to wrestle, Shida named the Athena, who is considered by many to be the toughest women’s competitor in AEW/ROH.
“Yeah, actually, I have one name. It’s Athena. Yeah. We had just one single at SHIMMER. It was a long time ago, but I really love that match. I’m watching her for a long time, of course, in AEW but before when she was in the other company, I saw her long time and always she’s good. So yeah, I believe in this reign I wrestle her. I really want to.”
That would be a great match.
Absolutely. The only problem is I don’t know who I want to win lol. I lean Shida, but Athena’s incredible too.
Haha yeah, as a fan, it’s easy to just think about it being awesome or leaning toward one or the other to win. Booking champ v champ in actuality sounds a bit nightmarish.
For sure. My guess is that TK would book Shida to win, at least the first match. It would be a bit weird to have your AEW champ lose to your ROH champ, IMO.
