Hikaru Shida vs. Serena Deeb on AEW Dynamite

Hikaru Shida was looking to become the first woman to win 50 matches in AEW as she faced Serena Deeb. Both women went toe to toe early in the match before Shida took control and headed to ringside. Shida set up a chair, but Deeb tossed it under the ring.

Back inside the squared circle, Deeb took control of the match, hitting Shida with a series of uppercuts before locking in an abdominal stretch in the middle of the ring.

She transitioned into a cravat lock and then into a snapmare. Shida tried to escape the hold, but Deeb had it locked on. She finally broke out and had a front face lock locked in as she spun Serena around. The former AEW Women's Champion then hit a missile dropkick for a two-count.

Deeb quickly fought back with an Octopus Hold before going for the Detox. Shida blocked it, but Deeb rolled her up for a nearfall. Shida then hit a knee strike on Deeb, who rolled out of the ring. Shida got a little careless as she rolled Deeb back in.

As Shida was about to get back in the ring, Deeb caught her with a Dragon Screw and followed it up with the Detox. Shida managed to kick out, but Deeb locked in the Serenity Lock and forced Shida to tap out.

Result: Serena Deeb def. Hikaru Shida

Grade: A

Serena Deeb headed out to the ring after the match and grabbed the plaque prepared for Shida's 50th win, which she didn't get tonight. We then saw Deeb potentially turn heel as she struck Shida across the head with it.
