Hikaru Shida Not Cleared To Compete For September 14 Dynamite

AEW

This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite is set to be a big episode of the show, featuring the two semi-finals of the AEW World Championship Tournament of Champions, as well as several other big matches.

One match that was announced for the show was a women’s tag team bout, pitting interim AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm and Hikaru Shida against Britt Baker and Serena Deeb, amid ongoing issues between Baker and Jamie Hayter.

However, that match will no longer be going ahead as planned, as on tonight’s AEW Dark, Baker appeared to attack Shida in her locker room, noting that if Baker can’t have her partner of choice, then neither can Storm.

AEW has now announced that Shida has not been cleared to compete on the show, with Storm instead teaming with Athena against Baker and Deeb.

Athena came up short in her match with Jade Cargill for the TBS Championship at the AEW All Out pay-per-view.

After an apparent attack on @shidahikaru tonight on #AEWDark, Shida isn’t cleared by the docs to compete, so #AEW Interim Women's World Champion #ToniStorm will team w/ @AthenaPalmer_FG vs @realbrittbaker & @SerenaDeeb on #AEWDynamite LIVE @ 8pm ET/7pm CT on @TBSNetwork TOMORROW! pic.twitter.com/acam54sOLx
