AEW World Women's Championship: Ryo Mizunami vs Hikaru Shida (c)

Ryo Mizunami dropped the AEW Women's Champion early with a pair of shoulder blocks. Hikaru Shida and Mizunami traded chops in the corner, leading to Mizunami taunting Shida. She'd pay for that, as a running knee strike laid out Mizunami.

Shida, who commentartors revealed had the most wins in AEW, looked to increase that record, setting up a chair for a flying knee. Mizunami caught her, sending her into the AEW fanbase over the barricade. Back in the ring, a series of running leg drops left Shida down for a two-count.

Mizunami countered a hip toss but was pelted with knees and kicks. Using her feet, Shida launched Mizunami headfirst into the top turnbuckle. A missile dropkick set up the AEW Women's Champ for a two-count.

They found themselves on Bret's Rope, where Shida managed to bring her challenger over for the back to belly piledriver on the ramp. Shida grinned wide as Mizunami struggled to stand. A deadlifting superplex from the outside brought Mizunami in for a two-count.

Mizunami battered Shida with a series of stiff strikes, following it up with a Michinoku Driver for a two-count. A right and and running knee from Shida only seemed to anger Mizunami, who responded with a clothesline.

Shida struck with the Tamoshii no Three, but couldn't get the cover. They stood up, holding each other up and trading elbow strikes. A uranage from Mizunami set up for the spear. Could the AEW Women's Eliminator Tournament winner put Shida away with the guillotine legdrop?

She connected, but Shida kicked out just in time. Shida rolled through a Michinoku Driver attempt, but was too worn out to get the pinfall attempt. A straight jacket German suplex connected, but Mizunami stood right back up for a clothesline to the back of the skull. A falcon arrow from Shida set up for another Tamoshii no Three.

Another falcon arrow planted Mizunami for a near fall. What did the AEW Women's Champ have to do to put her away? Shida countered a clothesline with a flying knee. A poke to the eyes set up for a roll-up. Mizunami kicked out, and countered a Tamoshii pinfall, nearly getting the victory.

A corkscrew knee strike was finally enough to put Mizunami away, securing the AEW World Women's Title for another night.

Results: Hikaru Shida defeated Ryo Mizunami via pinfall via pinfall at AEW Revolution.
