She's really an amazing wrestler and adorable. I only seen like 3 matches of her and I love her already. She's great at playing the underdog with a lot of heart. It really makes me want to root for her. I like her better then any of the girls on the roster currently. She's the best worker in my opinion. She is a Japanese AJ Lee, I think that's a fair comparison. But I think she's a way better wrestler then AJ.

Thank you. I think shes one of the best females they have. She has a really good character and has really interesting good in ring wrestling. She is sorta over to with the american crowd. I think she will be the first womens champion. I think they put Rose in the match to look cool having a transgender but she wont win. Of course im sure she will win but i dont think they will pick her as the first choice. Riho is a much better talent that is a hell of a lot more of a better choice to go in the history as your first world champion.

I think the first champion should be someone honorable of being crowned the first. So Khan said japan is going to be wcws lucha of wrestlers. That being said i hope they still bring in lots of mexican wrestlers

I can almost guarantee you she has more seemingly endless stamina than 80% of the roster, and I've seen her in matches where she will just go go go. The great thing about this lady is that you can market her as the most obvious underdog imaginable against goliaths that stand in front of her. She's literally perfect to gain fan sympathy with.

She was trained by the great Emi Sakura of ICE RIBBON and has been freelancing around the world for years.

If you go down the list of the American female wrestlers that are signed by AEW I just don't think they compare. It's probably due to her training when she was so young she is just simply better then them. She knows what she is doing in the ring, she is clean and smooth. A lot of them don't have her experience they are rough around the edges. More so I am comparing her to the wrestlers in AEW. Like others have said she is a 22 year old veteran. 22 but has done it for longer then all of them. It shows. She's amazing.

it is confirmed she is moving to the states in october and shes fully signed with AEW
Man hopefully, it would be a huge letdown if they missed her. I'm just starting to get invested in her. Don't break my heart like that Riho.

By the way i'm not saying that the american wrestlers are bad, far from that.

The difference in the ring come from the fact that in Japan they don't really care about the look, the most important thing is how good you are in the ring.

In America the physique is more important than the in-ring abilities.

I guess you're not familiar with Stardom

Anyway, I like Riho, but her match at All Out was boring and you could tell from the crowd reaction. Her face is generic, there are FAR more beautiful female wrestlers out there. Peyton Royce, Alexa Bliss, Allie, Brandi Rhodes, I could go on and on

Nothing I've seen from her impresses me like what I've seen from Io Shirai, especially in her one and only Lucha Underground match, and Tessa Blanchard is the best thing going in women's wrestling right now
I disagree I think Riho is hot asf. Something about petite Asian woman.

I love Yuka too. Riho is still the GOAT.

Riho being in the first time match is fine, but it being against Nyla is such a mistake. The crowd is going to be so quite for that match and it's on the first show and the first women's champion and that is not the crowd reaction you want for that match. How Britt Baker is not in the first title match is flabbergasting to me.
I don't know man I like Britt Baker but she lacks in the charisma category.

She's an outstanding performer. I still can't believe she's only 98 lbs.

The ending sequence she did with Shida at All Out was perfection. None of the current top WWE women performers like Charlotte or "The Man" Lynch or Bliss are capable of pulling it off.

I became a fan of hers after that match.

She's so fucking good I am highly impressed. She's like 22 years old wtf. She can work better then most of the girls in the WWE. These Japanese girls really be putting the American wrestlers to shame.

Hopefully, Riho ends up becoming the 1st ever AEW Women's Champion; especially after delivering what was probably her 4th good match in a row on AEW :D

Look I'll tell you guys straight up I am not that excited for AEW but if they sign her and I get to see more of Riho I would have more of a reason to watch. I want to see more. She's one of the best they got. Sign her. I would watch AEW just to watch her wrestle straight up. And Kenny Omega.
