AEW’s Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament is set to crown a number one contender for\u00a0Hikaru Shida<\/strong>.\u00a0 The picture used for the graphic has led to speculation that we will see a number of Japanese women compete in the tournament, possibly in matches taped in Japan.\u00a0 We decided to take a look at some women we could see take part in the AEW Women’s tournament.<\/p>\n

Riho<\/h2>\n

\"AEW<\/p>\n

With rumors that she has finished up with\u00a0Stardom\u00a0<\/strong>and could be heading back to the USA soon this tournament could mark the return of Riho.\u00a0 The first-ever AEW Women’s World Champion has not competed in AEW since March of 2020 due to the pandemic but her in-ring abilities and veteran presence have been missed.\u00a0 Riho winning the tournament and setting up a rematch with Hikaru Shida at Revolution<\/em> would be one of the best matches this division can do in terms of in-ring ability.<\/p>\n

Ryo Mizunami<\/h2>\n

Ryo Mizunami took part in the first Joshi match in AEW at\u00a0Double Or Nothing<\/em>.\u00a0 Mizunami has not yet returned to AEW but she is now a free agent and would be free to compete in an AEW tournament.\u00a0 Her infectious personality and hard-hitting strikes would make for a popular addition to the tournament.<\/p>\n

Yuka Sakazaki<\/h2>\n

The AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY girl Yuka Sakazaki won over a lot of fans during her initial matches in AEW.\u00a0 Her high flying style and adorable personality instantly made her a fan favorite.\u00a0 Due to her commitments to\u00a0Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling\u00a0<\/strong>she was not able to follow up on that AEW success but she has dropped the Princess Of Princess Championships and would be a good candidate to have in this tournament.<\/p>\n

Miyu Yamashita<\/h2>\n

If not for COVID-19 there’s no doubt we would have seen Miyu Yamashita in AEW by now.\u00a0 The ruthless striker has been one fo TJPW’s top performers for some time now and definitely impressed\u00a0Kenny omega\u00a0<\/strong>at Ultimate Party\u00a0<\/em>when she fought Omega and Riho in mixed tag action.\u00a0 Yamashita would be a fresh addition to the tournament and would take part in some of the best women’s matches in AEW.<\/p>\n

Emi Sakura<\/h2>\n
