Hikaru Shida headed back to Japan

On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Hikaru Shida was written out of storylines for a bit in an injury angle that saw Serena Deeb attack her knee with a kendo stick. In a post on Twitter, Shida noted that she will be returning to Japan for a little while.

She wrote:

“I’m so sorry that the last match before I go back to Japan had to end like that. I had a lot of things I wanted to do in Japan, but now I will rest my leg as much as I can. I’LL BE BACK.”
