ALL ELITE WRESTLING DYNAMITE/TNT: AEW announces tournament to determine new challenger for Womens title

A 16-woman tournament will determine the new number one
contender for Hikaru Shidas AEW Womens title. The
tournament was announced on Dynamite yesterday but no other
information was given.

The image used to promote the eliminator tournament shows
the empty bracket and the United States flag on the left
side and the Japanese flag on the right side. The placement
of the flags on the respective empty brackets was not
explained.

After the announcement, Japanese wrestler Emi Sakura tweeted
that its her time to get another title match for the AEW
Womens title and this time, its coming home to Japan with
her. Sakura wrestled for AEW in 2019 and unsuccessfully
challenged Riho for the title at Full Gear that year.

Hikaru Shida has been the champion for nearly 250 days,
winning it last year at Double or Nothing.
