MIA FRIDAY (C) VS. SHIMBASHI
LIONS PRIDE SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP
JULY 8, 2023
Mia Friday, already with an impressive list of accolades — youngest champion in history, the only female champion, just days away from being the longest-reigning Lions Pride Sports Champion — defended her title against the number one contender, Pandemonium's "Canadian Dragon" Shimbashi in the main event of Lions Pride Sports' biggest summer event. Since their formation in February, Shimbashi and Pandemonium immediately and repeatedly displayed a flagrant disregard for civility, respect and the safety of the rest of the roster, with no level too low to stoop to gain what they want, total control of Lions Pride Sports. With his win over MJ Santana a month before, Shimbashi was just one step away from achieving his goal. Who would emerge victorious in this main event contest between arguably the most beloved superstar in The Pride and the most reviled?
