Hikaru Shida is in Japan getting her visa renewed.
On his Twitch stream, Kenny Omega disclosed that he is cat sitting for Shida as she is getting her visa renewed.
"Shida, it's unfortunate, every couple of years, everyone has to go back to their home country and re-up their visa. I would've hated for her cats to have been alone for who knows how long because you never really know how long the process is going to take. In this case, it's taking quite a while. Her cats get separation anxiety and don't like being alone. Dobby [Kenny's cat] is generally very gentle. They do get along. It's nice and it's fun. I would do it anytime. It's not a chore," said Omega.
Shida hasn't wrestled on AEW TV since the November 20, 2024 episode of AEW Dynamite. She has remained active in Japan, working for various promotions.
It is unknown when Shida will return to AEW TV.
