AEW President Tony Khan made a huge announcement on social media just minutes after Dynamite ended. Recently, he signed "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Megan Bayne. However, his latest signing could be one of the biggest of the year. He has now signed former STARDOM star Mina Shirakawa to the company.
The 37-year-old star made her return to AEW last week, which was her first appearance in the company since signing the contract. She competed in a women's world title eliminator match and earned the opportunity to face Toni Storm at Double or Nothing, where the AEW Women's World Championship will be on the line.
On tonight's episode of Dynamite, she faced Julia Hart. Toni Storm also watched this contest closely from the commentary table. Following a hard-fought battle, Mina Shirakawa emerged victorious. After Dynamite went off the air, AEW President Tony Khan took to X/Twitter and posted the official All Elite graphic for the new signee.
