Here's the match video of Hikaru Shida vs Emi Sakura from last night's episode of AEW Dynamite. There were two problems with this match. They didn't announce it until a couple of hours before the show. So it's an afterthought. Second is it was clearly a Championship qualifier match. It's a fancy name for a non title match. Except commentary kept saying it was a title match. They aren't to blame. I blame Tony Khan for treating Hikaru like an afterthought. She deserves better. The match was OK considering Hikaru and Emi put it together quickly. And they deserved more time. We could have done without some of the talking segments and squash matches. They tried to sell the teacher vs student angle. Maybe Khan forgot that he has done that before. In other words, this is a good example of poor booking. Shouldn't he be setting up Hikaru's first title defense? Enjoy the video!
