Riho has not been seen working for the promotion since last March, a result of travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Riho last wrestled for AEW in February of 2020, dropping the women’s championship to Nyla Rose. The 23-year old recently concluded her working obligations with STARDOM in Japan.
