Riho

Riho is AEW's founding fairy — the promotion's first Women's World Champion, crowned on Dynamite's debut episode after defeating Nyla Rose in a David-versus-Goliath statement that set the division's tone. Wrestling since age nine, she carried fifteen years of experience into that moment while barely out of her teens.

Her feather-light frame conceals genuine steel: 619s, diving stomps and bridging pins delivered against opponents twice her size, a formula honed in Japan's Gatoh Move and DDT. Her matches with Serena Deeb and Toni Storm remain division-quality benchmarks.

Japan-based scheduling makes her AEW appearances occasions rather than routine. WrestleRanks voters rank Riho on history: the first name in the division's record book, permanently.
