Riho

Riho stops me in my tracks every time I remember she debuted at the age of eight. Trained by Emi Sakura and forged through years on the independent scene, this Tokyo-born wrestler eventually crossed the ocean to become the inaugural AEW Women's World Champion. I have a soft spot for performers who pour their entire body and conviction into their craft, and her high-flying, fearless style does exactly that. Carrying such a long career while still competing at the top is remarkable. To me she stands as a proud symbol of Japanese women's wrestling earning the global recognition it has long deserved.
