HIkaru Shida advances in TBS title tournament on AEW Dynamite
Hikaru Shida has advanced to the second round of the TBS Championship tournament.
Shida defeated Serena Deeb in a first round matchup on AEW Dynamite. With the win, she advances to the second round and a matchup against Nyla Rose.
Shida’s win was her 50th career AEW win. Deeb previously defeated Shida when she was going for that same 50th career victory.
Following the first round match on Dynamite, Deeb continued to attack Shida, so Shida will have a storyline leg injury going into the second round match with Rose.
The remaining first round matches in the TBS title tournament are The Bunny vs. Red Velvet, plus Anna Jay vs. Jamie Hayter. Jay vs. Hayter will take place on next week’s Dynamite.
Ruby Soho has already advanced to the second round, where she will face Kris Statlander.
Statlander, Rose, Jade Cargill and Thunder Rosa earned first round tournament byes by virtue of their position in the AEW rankings.
