Ranking Every AEW Wrestler's 2019 From Worst To Best

32. Emi Sakura

AEW Roster Ranked
AEW/TNT

Though Emi Sakura seemingly came out of nowhere to challenge for Riho's Women's World Championship, the bout itself was strong and built around an awesome teacher vs. student narrative, with the wrestlers making the most of the minimal build.

A veteran of 24 years, Sakura has been given little character development beyond "heel who thinks she's Freddie Mercury." A shame, though has looked good between the ropes.
