Tony Khan announced on Twitter that Hikaru Shida will defend her Women’s Title on 11/1 AEW Dynamite.
“After retaining in the Fright Night Fight, the Champion Shida will defend her title vs 2023 Owen Hart Women’s Cup Winner Willow Wednesday!” he wrote on X.
Since winning the title at AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday earlier this month, Shida has consistently defended the title, defeating the likes of Ruby Soho and Emi Sakura. She most recently defended it this past Saturday on Collision, defeating Abadon in a Fright Night Fight match.
Willow Nightingale has recently been involved in a storyline where both she and Skye Blue have been misted by Julia Hart. Nightingale has resisted being turned by Hart’s mist, but Blue has seemed to embrace the change, changing her appearance.
Here’s the updated card for Wednesday’s Dynamite:
- AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy defends against Claudio Castagnoli
- AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida defends against Willow Nightingale
- MJF and three partners vs. Bullet Club Gold (Jay White, Juice Robinson & The Gunns)
- Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho vs. Matt Menard & Angelo Parker
- Tony Khan will make an important announcement
