AEW Women's World Championship Match: Abadon vs Hikaru Shida (c)

Abadon rushed Hikaru Shida before she even made it to the ring. The AEW Women's World Champion turned it around, though, and seemed to have things in control early. Still, that wound that Abadon had left on Shida's neck last week was evidence enough that Abadon can turn things in her favor when it's least expected.

Almost on cue, Shida rushed in for a knee lift on the apron, but Abadon caught her. She bit Shida's thigh before tossing her into the barricade. Abadon pulled Shida under the ring, and when they emerged, Abadon was covered in blood.

Shida's blood, specifically, as the champ's neck was gushing once again. Back in the ring, Abadon battered the champ and hit a Bret's Rope X-Factor. Shida kicked out, still grasping her throat. During the break, Shida did her best to cut down the unstoppable monster, but AEW's zombified wrestler just kept on coming.

When we came back, Shida bounced off the ropes and hit Abadon on the floor with a crossbody. The AEW Women's Champ bashed Abadon's head into the barricade, then dragged her up top for a second rope superplex.

Abadon quickly rose up and nearly decapitated Shida with a clothesline. Shida countered a Gory Bomb with a roll-up and was able to lay Abadon out with the Tamashii No Three.

Results: Hikaru Shida defeated Abadon via pinfall on AEW Dynamite.

Grade: B
