Mina Shirakawa is returning to AEW.
Shirakawa previously appeared at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam and reluctantly celebrated with AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May. She wrestled for AEW/ROH a few times over the summer after she had a prominent run heading into the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, where she lost to Toni Storm. Meanwhile, she has continued to wrestle for STARDOM, NJPW, RevPro, and other companies.
A vignette on the November 2 episode of AEW Collision confirmed that Mina Shirakawa is coming back to AEW. However, it did not provide a specific date.
Mina Shirakawa On Mariah May
In a recent interview with WrestleZone’s Troy Gonzales, Shirakawa commented on potentially returning to AEW. She expressed her confidence that she could bring the old Mariah May back.
“I was really happy when Mariah became the AEW Women’s World Champion,” Shirakawa said. “As a former partner of Mariah’s, I was so proud to see how her hard work in Japan led her to emerging to the top so soon after arriving in AEW. But the sparkling, fungoing Mariah is gone.
“I believe I am the only one who can bring Mariah back. I want the old Mariah back. And I want the two of us to team up again and become the strongest women’s tag team in AEW. I can’t wait to go back to see Mariah.”
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
