Just watched her first round match and she definitely had good charisma and character work. Her in-ring work left a little to be desired. I was actually more impressed with her opponent Ryo, both charisma and in-ring wise. Is Ryo the presumptive favorite?

Is Ryo the presumptive favorite? Yes, but mostly when meta considerations are put in play. She has been quoted as saying that she would have retired by now if she hadn't felt rejuvenated by her AEW appearance in 2019, she seems to have the least going on booking-wise (no big upcoming shows like Emi and others have), she is in a very similar career place to Shida, and Kenny is extremely high on her. It's sort of like...even if she isn't the winner of the bracket, she is probably moving to the US anyway.

So if offered, would Maki go to Aew after the pandemic, or would she be willing to relocate once her Tjpw contract ends? When does it end? How does this go down. Someone help me here.

She's said that her goal is to go AEW. Depends on when her contract ends. Riho's moved to the states after her contract with Stardom ended

Probably fulfill her obligations and then move to the states, if what she said about AEW is the truth, it's her goal.

Up to her ,AEW was very open about letting their Joshi work whioe living in Japan. I dont see why she would want to move,she has a perfect grasp of the english vocabulary and is learning more every day

Even before the pandemic, getting visas for people seemed to go on without a hitch for AEW but was sometimes a major pain in the ass, and I am unsure if it'd be nearly as difficult the other way around.

To make things even more interesting with AEW talent.
It started off with Maki saying she will break Shida's nose ,and Britt responded with please do.

I'd imagine she'd have to change a little or something.

Mizuki would just have to do the whirling candy and she'd be fine.

I'd imagine she'd have to change a little or something. It's tough, Mizuki is easily one of the best in TJPW and would get over on her ability/charisma and as mentioned above, Whirling Candy. The problem of course is people confusing her with Riho. That part is hard, because some of their similarity is having a close move set (they both had training under Emi) and when Riho asked Mizuki to help design her gear she just decided to model it after her own gear lol. I dunno how much AEW could do a storyline based around overseas talent, but they could differentiate from Riho by using her as a foil to Maki or leaning into her being a bit of a psycho.

I thought her in-ring work was pretty bad, but her charisma more than makes up for it. She's someone you want to keep watching and definitely has the mythical "it-factor".

I'm just imagining how the ring gear moment went. Riho: " Mizuki, I need help with creating an outfit for the ring." Mizuki:" don't worry. I got it." Riho;" Thanks." * later on.* Mizuki:" here you go." Riho:" why are you giving me your gear?" Mizuki:" don't be silly. This is what I designed for you!" * Giant anime sweat drop on Riho.* Riho:" I got a match in 20 minutes." * reluctantly puts on ring gear.* Mizuki:"I did good."
