One area where AEW has received the most criticism is with its booking of the women’s division. But you wouldn’t know it from this week’s (Mar. 18) Fatal 4-Way match between Riho, Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, and Penelope Ford.
If you don’t believe me, just check out some of this great action.
Riho is always willing to pull off some high risk moves to get the job done:

Hikaru Shida joins in on the fun with Riho this time to take out Statlander:

But Kris Statlander was the powerhouse of this match, and she made sure to make Riho feel the pain:

Penelope Ford had her moments too, including this Poison Rana.

Hikaru Shida ultimately emerged as the winner, after a very exciting match.
I thought this match was pretty darn fun. Did it get you equally pumped up for the future of women’s wrestling in AEW?
