This is great news for AEW’s women’s division. AEW has been trying for quite some time to arrange Riho’s return. Travel restrictions have kept Riho out of the United States until recently.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
