Riho may not be the largest woman in the AEW locker room, but she's always been portrayed as someone with guts and courage, and truckloads of it. And so, when PAC confronted her backstage and threatened bodily harm, she should have pretty much retaliated. Can you imagine anyone at all talking to Becky Lynch in that manner and Lynch just standing there, too helpless to react?
As a professional wrestler, everyone, including someone who is Riho's size needs to be portrayed as an athlete who can take care of himself/herself. Riho shouldn't have been waiting for her knight in shining armor to come to her rescue but should have taken the fight to PAC herself, in my honest opinion. I also thought the fact that AEW showed us that Riho weighs so little that she doesn't break a table once she goes through it, was not a very good move.
The one positive we got from this segment is that we'll get two thrilling matches from it.
