Hikaru Shida set for action on AEW Dynamite

Hikaru Shida is scheduled for Dynamite on Wednesday.

It was announced today that Shida will be in action against a unnamed opponent. Shida has been champion since May 23, when she defeated Nyla Rose in a Falls Count Anywhere match to win the championship at AEW Double or Nothing.

Last week, Tony Schiavone announced that Shida will be defending the championship against Penelope Ford, who pinned Shida in a tag team match several weeks ago.

A number of other matches are planned for Dynamite this week. Mr. Brodie Lee will team with Colt Cabana to take on Joey Janela & Sonny Kiss, Santana will face Matt Hardy, and Luchasaurus will face Wardlow in a lumberjack match. Jon Moxley is also scheduled for action.

In addition, highlights will be shown of a Cody press conference relating to his TNT championship match against Jake Hager at Fyter Fest, which is scheduled for both July 1 and July 8.
