As noted before, Riho has been out of action for AEW since this past July due to an arm injury that was later confirmed to be an arm fracture.
Riho provided an update earlier today on her blog stating that she recently fully healed from her arm injury but she is currently dealing with visa-related issues preventing her return to the United States for AEW.
“I broke my arm at the beginning of July and it’s been 3 months. I’m sure you’re all thinking, ‘Why aren’t you coming back?’ As it turns out, my VISA has been renewed and I am still unable to go to the U.S. The bone has healed completely! Although there is still some slowness in movement, I think it will get better in a little while.”
Riho Update. She’s fully healed but she’s battling VISA issues again. Come back soon Bbygirl we miss you 🌸 pic.twitter.com/QWN9OAoogf
