Riho will defend her AEW Women's Championship at Full Gear this Saturday against her mentor Emi Sakura. The two squared off on opposite sides of a tag-team match on Dynamite.
Riho and Sakura started the match. Sakura tossed Riho across the ring but the diminutive champion hit back with a rising knee strike before tagging in her partner. Shanna worked on Sakura before tagging Riho back in. They double-teamed Sakura before Riho went for the pinfall attempt.
Sakura hit back with a nasty backbreaker to Sakura before tagging Hayter in. Hayter drove her elbows into Riho's shoulder area before locking in a chokehold. Riho exploded out of an Irish whip and hit Hayter with a headscissors. Sakura tried to stop Riho from making the tag but got a double stomp for her troubles.
Shanna came in on the hot tag, taking out Sakura with a flying elbow. After Riho got taken out from the apron, Shanna launched herself off the top rope into both Hayter and Sakura.
The heels then got back into the match and double-teamed Shanna. Hayter then hit a running knee strikes for a nearfall. She followed it up with a running lariat to Shanna and went for the cover, with Riho coming in and breaking it up. Hayter dumped Riho out of the ring and tagged in Sakura who hit a backbreaker and went for the pinfall. Riho hit a double stomp from the top rope to break up the pin.
Riho and Sakura then traded a series of roll-ups, with Sakura finally pinning Riho.
