Amid the stacked card of matches for the pay-per-view, Hikaru Shida also got the chance to take care of a thorn in her side, Toni Storm. The two had been feuding for weeks leading up to the event, setting up the massive singles bout. With the Women's World Title on the line, the contest had plenty of stakes for both stars.
Staying true to her melodramatic gimmick, Storm tried to gain the upper hand in the match using illegal methods. At one point, she used a shoe to attack Shida. However, this wasn't enough, as the Japanese star was able to kick out at the last second.

Ultimately, Toni Storm used a metal pan hidden in her outfit to hit Hikaru Shida. This proved to be the final straw, as Shida was pinned seconds later.
The victory solidified Storm's dominance in the AEW women's division. This marked the former WWE star's third Women's World Title win in the promotion, making her the second woman to accomplish the feat after Shida. Now, it remains to be seen what is next for the two performers.

Shubhajit is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE news. He has a Master's degree in English and has been working in his current role for over 2 years.
A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
