So, what's up with Riho? She's someone so good she should at least being doing something every week on Dynamite. Plus she is always over like crazy so not using her seems like a big blunder Gotta agree, and the best guess I can muster is that they had a plan for her and Deeb and they are dead set on doing That next with Riho, even if it means having to not do anything interesting with a proven draw for a month. Even then, though, it seems like giving her some spotlight on Elevation this taping cycle would have been warranted and beneficial to AEW, so I got nothing - at that point, the simple explanation is that she just missed this taping cycle for whatever reason.

She lives with Shida now so no reason she couldn't make it to there. Hopefully she's on Elevation or Dark

i think i recalled at the time of the tourney something about riho was only going to be available for a short time in the states which was why she got eliminated before the regional finals. so her not being around makes sense. so seems like that was correct if she's back in japan now

She's done with Stardom, but she might have other commitments in Japan before going to the States full-time.
I think Japan still has a mandatory quarantine period for all incoming travelers, so it could explain why she's been gone the past couple of weeks.

Women's Matches announced for Elevation so far:
- Ryo Mizunami vs Tesha Price - Britt Baker vs Alex Gracia - Big Swole vs Jazmin Allure
Mizunami has become the measuring stick on Elevation taking on a lot of the prospects and having good matches with them. She could have a lot of fun with Tesha Price. Also expecting Baker/Gracia to be fun as well.

Bea Priestly said after her match that she's done with Stardom and Japan. I wonder if this is a similar situation as Riho and she chose AEW over Stardom and we will see her back in the near future.

Bea got an offer from NXT UK according to one of Jeff Jones assistants. That would seem like a big step down, plus she's already refused them. If she goes to WWE it be straight to NXT main roster, but hopefully it's AEW since she still on very good terms with everyone there

Not sure, I remember hearing about the backstage incident she had with Sadie Gibbs at All-out, but apart from that she seems well liked. Kenny and Dustin are big fans of hers

Priestley is disliked by fans more than the locker room due to social media things, a few incidents early in her AEW run, and dating Will Ospreay.

Kenny and Dustin are big fans of hers For what it’s worth, Ospreay did a social media post mentioning Sadie and how glad he was that they buried the hatchet (note, this being Ospreay he still managed to misspell “hatchet”). Possible that there’s still bad blood with Bea, but that at least makes me presume that they moved past whatever their big issue was. Granted, neither are in AEW right now, but who knows, especially with some travel opening up a bit.

Kenny and Dustin are big fans of hers And her and Will apparently apologized and patched things up with Sadie recently But yeah I could see her in AEW since NXT UK does seem like a huge step down for her. Unless she believes she can work her way up to regular nxt or something

I could see Bea coming back, especially since in New Japan Will's kinda been doing some interesting storyline things with her.
Just remember she was getting a women's world title push before the pandemic, so it's not like AEW was low on her, she's had some incidents but it's nothing black mark worthy.
More over, we were talking about how the division needs more credible heels and well... Bea would definitely help there.

With the whole talk of trying to make the Women division draw the female demo, this fan told Maki that she enjoyed her stuff in AEW and (according to google translate) seems that Maki was surprised AEW has female fans.

I didn't like Bea Priestly's run at all in AEW. Unless she's matured in a big way, well, if she wants to go to NXT UK, I'd be happy with that.
