Riho is back.
On the October 18 edition of AEW Dynamite, Riho made her return to All Elite Wrestling after a five month absence. The first ever AEW Women's World Champion made sure to make an impact during her return, as she saved Toni Storm from a further beat down at the hands of Rebel and Jamie Hayter. The two celebrated in the ring after chasing off Hayter and Rebel to end the segment.
Riho hasn't been seen on AEW programming since the May 28, 2022 edition of AEW Dark. On the show, Riho teamed with Skye Blue & Yuka Sakazaki to face the trio of Diamante, Emi Sakura & Nyla Rose.
