#2 Hikaru Shida was frustrated with her run as AEW Women's Champion
Former AEW Women's Champion Hikaru Shida recently spoke to Sports Illustrated and revealed that she felt frustrated after her run as champion ended, feeling that her reign could have gone better:
"After losing the title, I was very frustrated. I thought I could have done more and been better as champion. So this tournament for the TBS title means a lot to me. It is a great opportunity to get back to the top," Shida said.
Shida is now going after the TBS Championship and will face Nyla Rose in the second round of the tournament.
#1 Latest on AEW and IMPACT Wrestling's working relationship
Recent reports before Bound For Glory suggested that IMPACT Wrestling and AEW's working relationship would end after the pay-per-view, but that does not seem to be the case.
Even though Christian Cage lost the IMPACT World Championship that had been the plan since summer. This was reported by the Wrestling Observer who spoke to an IMPACT insider.
“It’s getting talked about like that but not quite accurate. Cage dropping the title at BFG was the end of the story that started last December. That was the plan since the spring. Door is open to do more but nothing planned for short-term,” stated the report.
Although there are no short-term plans for the two promotions to work together, the forbidden door is still open.
