10 Wrestlers Paige VanZant MUST Face In AEW
9. Hikaru Shida
Hikaru Shida would be the perfect opponent for Paige VanZant. As a former AEW Women's Champion and a veteran of the industry she could really help elevate Paige to the level she needs.
Shida, aside from her feud with Serena Deeb, hasn't really been that much of a permanent fixture on AEW TV lately, but maybe in 2022, Shida can get herself back on track.
Her path to that might have to go through Paige VanZant, of course, Paige should go over in this instance but this will make the new up and comer look like a serious threat while allowing for a big comeback story to begin for Shida. In AEW wins and losses matter and while it's still a new company, more focus needs to be put on the women's division.
This is a complaint we see a lot amongst fans, and this might just be the way to create two new stories that can come back together eventually.
