10 Dream Tag Teams From WWE, AEW & NJPW Rosters
6. Kairi Sane And Riho
If babyfaces can be measured by the sympathy they generate from the audience, then there are few better than Kairi and Riho.
Both women have built up reputations as great underdog wrestlers who never give up even against overwhelming odds. Kairi's classic battles against Shayna Baszler and her minions were enough to make her NXT's performer of the year in 2018, and the 93lb Riho's clashes against the 185lb Nyla Rose in AEW were so well done they made the attending audience completely suspend their disbelief.
Kairi and Riho excel at portraying whoever's opposing them as a threat (even when not being legitimately injured by their opponents) This helps get everyone in the match over - the heels for looking dangerous, and the babyfaces for gutting out the battle. Wrestling needs great babyfaces for the audience to rally behind, and there are few better at playing that role than Kairi and Riho.
