Rating the 5 best options to be crowned the first ever AEW Women's World Champion

#3 Hikaru Shida

Shida is certainly ready for the big stage

Hikaru Shida was the only woman in the six-person Joshi tag at Double or Nothing signed to AEW beforehand. Despite a great effort from everyone, Shida stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The Japanese sensation can be a brutal wrestler or a loveable babyface, but regardless, she's someone to keep an eye on. With AEW looking to become a global force in the wrestling business, don't count this one out just yet.

They've been building some other stars in the division since the very birth of AEW, and that's the easy play for the company to make, but Shida is certainly ready for the big stage.

With that being said, it's quite unlikely that Shida gets pushed that quickly so early on, but if they can build her into a very interesting character and let her show off all the skills she possesses, it will just be a matter of time until that gold is around her waist.
