This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured a chaotic backstage moment when Mina Shirakawa ripped open Harley Cameron’s shirt during a pre-match pep talk.
The segment took place during a backstage interview with Renee Paquette, as Shirakawa attempted to fireside up Cameron ahead of their tag team match against Hikaru Shida and Kris Statlander.
Attempting to motivate her partner, Shirakawa told Cameron to stop specializing in outside distractions and think about winning the match. She said,
“Harley, get up! What Shida has done to Stat and us is just not good. Are you able to trust Stat? I hope so. But tonight, beyond friends, beyond how you’re feeling, now we have a match to win!”
She then reminded Cameron of her accomplishments in AEW. She stated,
“Harley, you might be one among the primary ever tag team champions. So stop searching there! Look it in here!”
As she delivered the road, Shirakawa dramatically ripped Cameron’s shirt open to hype her up. Nevertheless, she quickly realized that Cameron was not already wearing her wrestling gear underneath. A shocked Shirakawa immediately apologized. She said,
“Oh no, I’m sorry! I assumed you had your gear on!”
Cameron stayed fully in character despite the mishap. She said,
“I’m not. But I don’t care! Shida, Stat, the wrath is back tonight, and also you’re gonna feel it!”
Later within the night, Statlander used her power advantage early against Shirakawa, while Cameron showcased her athleticism once she entered the bout.
Shida and Shirakawa exchanged heavy strikes before Cameron received the new tag and nearly secured a significant win for her team. At one point, Shirakawa and Cameron appeared near victory following a double-team sequence, but Shida managed to interrupt up the pin attempt on the last second.
The finish turned chaotic after Statlander was by chance struck by a misplaced knee. Cameron continued fighting back with a neckbreaker and roundhouse kick combination, however the numbers game eventually caught as much as her.
In the long run, Shida connected with a Falcon Arrow on Cameron while Statlander prevented any interference, securing the win for his or her team.
