Serena Deeb defeats former Women's World Champion on AEW Dynamite
Serena Deeb took down former AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida in a Philly Street Fight match on this week's Dynamite.
The two stars have been feuding for a while now, with their last match being in January. Deeb has been exhibiting an aggressive attitude since her return from injury in October 2021, which has pitted her against multiple younger female wrestlers.
Shida started off the bout this week by quickly attacking Deeb with a Kendo stick. Taking full advantage of the 'street fight' stipulation, both women used several chairs and other equipment to take the match to new levels of physicality.
Serena Deeb was eventually able to take back control of the match by blowing powder into Shida's eyes. After much back-and-forth, The Woman of 1000 holds locked in a successful submission move to secure the win.

After all, was said and done, Thunder Rosa was spotted watching the match. This could hint at a future feud between the AEW Women's World Champion and Serena Deeb.
