Maya World On Hikaru Shida: Hopefully One Day I Get To Face Her, Because That’s Definitely A Dream Match Of Mine

Maya World comments on Hikaru Shida being a dream match of hers, noting that she hopefully one day gets to face her.

On the July 1st edition of AEW Dynamite, Hikaru Shida would win the TBS Championship, winning a Survival Of The Fittest match. She is currently scheduled to defend the title for the first time on tonight’s edition of AEW Collision, where she is set to face off with Harley Cameron. However, a potential new challenger is already waiting in the wings.

While speaking to the Augusta Free Press in a new interview, Maya World noted that she hopes to face off with Hikaru Shida in the future, noting the matchup is a dream match of hers.

“I’m here in Roanoke now, but I don’t have a match announced yet. I will be watching [Hikaru Shida defend the TBS Championship against Harley Cameron], actually. She’s the new champ. There’s new challengers. I could be one of her new challengers. So, hopefully one day I get to face her, too, because that’s definitely a dream match of mine also.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Maya spoke about the coaching and teaching of Athena preparing her for filling in in the Owen Hart Cup on short notice. You can read more about that here.
