10 Best Wrestling Matches For Ultimate AEW Vs WWE NXT Fantasy PPV
3. Io Shirai Vs. Hikaru Shida: Two Out Of Three Falls
Shirai and Shida are two world-class talents. They have previously faced-off in Japan during Shirai’s tag team run with her sister Mio. Both find themselves as their current brands champion. However, their indie runs cumulated in both being decorated champions.
Shida may be AEW’s Women’s Champion, yet, she heads a division which is directionless. Defending the title is an afterthought on the majority of PPV cards, often being overshadowed not only by male matches, but also by bigger female personalities such as Britt Baker and Big Swole.
On NXT, Shirai has had ample time to showcase her skill to the NXT faithful. She has seized every opportunity given to her. The highlight of Shirai’s rise was winning the championship in a triple threat featuring Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley. From here she made short work of NXT’s finest.
Both women deserve the time a 2 Out of 3 Falls match allows. The contest would be a technical masterpiece, displaying the spectacle of female Japanese wrestling.
Prediction/Spoiler: The nature of the match means each woman would come away with a win. The end result is highly debatable. Shirai and Shida would take each other to the limit and prove why they deserve to head their respective divisions.
