As noted before, Mina Shirakawa departed from Stardom this past April and stated that she will be joining AEW for the next destination in her wrestling career. Shirakawa made her first appearance as a full-time member of AEW at last week’s Dynamite Beach Break 2025 show.
Following Shirakawa’s victory over Julia Hart in the main event of tonight’s Dynamite show in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, AEW CEO Tony Khan announced on Twitter that Shirakawa recently signed an official contract with the company.
