>Mina Shirakawa of women's professional wrestling "Stardom" has expressed interest in the U.S. AEW World Women's Title held by Toni Storm.
>Since entering AEW's ROH in March of this year, she has frequently traveled to the U.S., and in April she scored a victory over Anna Jay at "DYNAMITE. Shirakawa said, "AEW only has one women's match. There must be people who think it's uninteresting that I'm not a member of AEW, so I feel a lot of pressure every time I compete," Shirakawa said. In the midst of a series of matches, she recently appeared on "DYNAMITE" (Canada) to rescue her tag team partner, Mariah May. While on this intense schedule, she studies English every day, and she is not slacking on her daily efforts. She seems to be feeling a positive response, saying, "In the past few months, my heart has grown a lot of hair, my body and mind have become stronger, and I have grown more than ever in my life.
>Shirakawa had her sights set on a fight with Mercedes Moné when she first joined AEW, but recently she has become interested in the AEW World Women's Title, which she won in a heated argument with Toni over Mariah at the April Stardom event in Philadelphia. Since then, they have often been at odds with each other. When Toni shoved the belt in her face at the Philadelphia event, she said, "You have something interesting. I thought, 'I'm going to take the belt away from you and Mariah".
>While walking around Shibuya, she came across a statue of Hachiko in front of the station, saying that her experience on the U.S. mat had broadened her horizons. When she saw the long line of foreign tourists, she said with a competitive spirit, "I'm going to be more famous than Hachiko! and took a photo with a rivalry spirit.
