What a coincidence. I, too, want a champion vs champion match between Shida and Athena. :3

Such a match would surely have to headline a PPV, if not main event, right? I couldn't imagine such an awesome match being used on weekly tv unless they did a best of series, which I would also enjoy.

Agreed. I actually think All Out would make a lot of sense. You don't need a long build for a match that good…especially when there's two belts involved.

It's way too much of a draw to waste on a random Dynamite IMO. Grand Slam level at the very least.

Just the relevant quote. There's a bit more at the link, including a twelve minute "sit-down" interview with Shida.

Shida plans to be a fighting champion. When asked if there's anybody in particular she's eager to wrestle, Shida named the Athena, who is considered by many to be the toughest women's competitor in AEW/ROH.

"Yeah, actually, I have one name. It's Athena. Yeah. We had just one single at SHIMMER. It was a long time ago, but I really love that match. I'm watching her for a long time, of course, in AEW but before when she was in the other company, I saw her long time and always she's good. So yeah, I believe in this reign I wrestle her. I really want to."
