BREAKING: Former AEW champion makes blockbuster return on Collision

A former AEW Women's World Champion made her anticipated TV return on the latest episode of Collision. The star was last seen in a big title match at the All Out 2025 pay-per-view.

The former AEW Champion Riho made her return on the most recent Collision episode. The 28-year-old star happens to be the first-ever Women's World Champion in All Elite Wrestling, as she won the title in the company's first year, 2019. She last competed in a TBS title match against Mercedes Mone at All Out 2025 nearly two months back.

After failing to capture the TBS Championship from Mercedes at All Out, Riho went on a tour to Japan. Nonetheless, she has finally returned to TV. On the latest episode of Collision, Riho teamed up with Alex Windsor for a tag team encounter against the team of HYAN and Maya World. The duo of Riho and Windsor secured the win in the match as well.

Wrestling veteran bashed Tony Khan's for paying a huge amount to an AEW star

The AEW star Riho revealed last year that she makes $400,000 a year in All Elite Wrestling, and the wrestling veteran Jim Cornette commented on it. Speaking on his Drive-Thru podcast, Cornette bashed Tony Khan for paying Riho too much:

"Riho couldn’t turn down 400 grand a year either. Is it something that Tony would have done based on whoever say so? Probably. Maybe. It’s not out of… It’s not ridiculous. But at the same time, it could also be her saying, 'Oh well'... Maybe that’s a little more than she made or considerable if it’s $200,000 and that’s an unofficial count."

Only time will tell what's next for Riho after making her return on Collision.
