10 AEW Wrestlers Lost In The Shuffle After All Out 2021

10. Hikaru Shida

Being the first wrestler to appear in Casino Battle Royale seemed to be some sort of consolation prize from AEW to Hikaru Shida at All Out.

The former Women's Champion got a thunderous ovation, but it was just about all she got. Eliminated with relative ease in the match itself, Shida wasn't focussed upon in the clash, and this is troublingly in keeping with how things have been since she put over Dr Britt Baker back in May.

Following that vital title switch at Double Or Nothing 2021, Shida's not wrestled once on Dynamite, and though her run across Dark and Dark: Elevation has been an undefeated one, it's not helped her recover from the defeat in a manner AEW have thought about for other losing Champions in the past.

The likes of Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley carefully pivoted into new things, but Shida's virtual invisibility on TNT has been one of the year's biggest disappointments. But AEW are finally starting to tell more than one story at a time with the women now. Line up a secondary one for the division's former final boss.

With Rampage as valuable extra time, this philosophical shift will hopefully benefit a star previously acknowledged as one of the pandemic era's more important figureheads.
