Today at Pro Wrestling Eve’s Elite Encounters II, AEW star and Death Rider member Marina Shafir was able to defeat Japanese joshi star Miyu Yamashita and capture the EVE International Championship, ending the reign of Yamashita at 156 days.
Following the match in England, Yamashita took to social media to comment on the loss. “I lost the title today, but I’m not done yet! I WILL become champion again! Marina Shafir I couldn’t beat you today, but I’m always targeting you. You’re an amazing opponent! Thank you all for your support!”
Yamashita went on to say, “I couldn’t defend my title…I’m so frustrated. I wanted to bring it back to Japan. But I can’t stop now, so I just have to get stronger!! Thank you to everyone in Japan who cheered me on.”
There’s no word yet as to when Miyu Yamashita will be back in England for EVE, but you would have to expect the former champion to be back soon.
