Hikaru Shida vs Riho (winner to face Nyla Rose for the AEW Women's title)

Hikaru Shida dominated early on, clearly the bigger and stronger of the two wrestlers. Shida took the fight out to ringside early. After a brief spell of offense, she rolled Riho back into the ring. Riho replied with a hurricanrana before sending Shida crashing out of the ring, she followed it with the Diamond Foot Stomp.
Shida briefly locked in the Brock Lock but Riho reversed it into a pinning combination. She followed it up with a running tackle. Both women went down but it was Shida who got up first. She hit a deadlift brainbuster and followed it up with a Shining Wizard to Riho.
Riho tried to roll Shida up again but only managed a 2-count. Shida replied with a brainbuster from the top rope for a nearfall. Riho still had fight left in her, hitting a beautiful Northern Lights Suplex. Riho had Shida caught up in a tree of woe in the corner and hit her with a double stomp. Riho then went for the finish and hit a running double knee strike. She only managed a nearfall. Riho followed up with another double knee strike, this time to the back of Shida's head. Shida still kicked out.
Shida went to finish things off now but Riho rolled her up once again, this time finally pinning Shida. The crowd erupted and clearly AEW have done a great job in introducing Riho to fans.
WINNER: Riho
