AEW Full Gear results: Riho vs. Emi Sakura

Riho put her AEW Women’s World Championship on the line against her trainer, Emi Sakura, at AEW Full Gear in Baltimore, MD at the Royal Farms Arena. They showed a video package to let fans know their history. Sakura trained Riho for years beginning when Riho was 9 years old. Riho was very emotional as the match got started.

There were several near falls including one late in the match when Riho executed a northern lights suplex. Moments later, she hit a double stomp off the top rope and went for a pin but Sakura bridged out of it.

Sakura broke free and hit a backdrop driver and then a torture rack into a pancake slam type of move. Riho was able to break the pin attempt by getting her foot on the bottom rope. Riho won the match after getting the pin with a crucifix. This was very fast-paced, especially in the final minutes. Sakura raised Riho’s hand after the match.
