    Skye's biggest hurdle with a gimmick like that isn't her height, it's her cute cherub face. She could take my head off with a kick and I'd still be thinking "d'aww!" the whole time. In comparison, Low Ki looks like the kind of person who is always plotting how to murder everyone in the room.

    Yeah, it's the same reason I never bought Zelina Vega as a heel in WWE. She's just so tiny and adorable.

    Besides, AEW has enough heels in the women's division who get screen time. They need more credible babyfaces. Well, credible faces who aren't hurt. Right now, they've got Stat and Shida and that's basically it. Britt shouldn't be a face, and who knows how long before she gets hurt again, they're content to have Willow job out to everybody, and they don't seem to know if Toni is a face or not.

    The Toni/ Saraya match was better than I expected, which is surprising, as I'm really not big into either one. Though I was expecting a 2 on 1 beatdown to be interrupted by either a returning Thunder Rosa or a debuting Mercedes Mone and instead, it just... stopped.

    Also, why does Ruby Soho, the person who LOST this year's Owen Hart Tournament, get more TV time right now than Willow Nightingale, who actually WON the darn thing?

    Weak strikes, mistimed sequences, zero energy, Shida bumping about two seconds before Baker has even done the curb stomp on her. And now Britt is getting a TBS title shot three days after being pinned because wins and losses matter?

    A rare misstep from Shida. She's usually one of the most consistent, best performers in the division.

    Speaking of, Ricky Starks complaining about unfairness despite being on TV every week. Meanwhile, the winner of this year's women's Owen's Tournament has been sitting back in catering for a month.

    There is no universe where Jade should have done anything BUT confront Kris on her return. A lot of things to complain about with the women's division and Jade, but not this. If she did anything but go after the first person to beat her in her career who took her title in a impromptu match after she just had a defense it wouldn't make any sense at all.

    Wouldn't be the first time they did something with Jade that didn't make sense. "Why is Red Velvet in the Baddies? I thought she and Jade hated each other?" Which is why when Red Velvet turned without explanation, I didn't mind, because there was never any explanation to begin with. My personal head-canon is that she got bonked on the head backstage, Fred Flintstone style.

    I'm just concerned that Jade, at least up to this point, drags EVERYBODY down. No one, NO ONE, has come out of a program with her looking better for it. Say what you want about Britt Baker (and you can say a LOT), but she got at least two people very over, Thunder Rosa and Jamie Hayter. The only person Jade has gotten over is Jade. Someone once said that other people getting over wasn't the priority, and I could buy that her first six month, maybe the first year. But after two and a half years and the vast majority of the women's division being fed to her, yeah something needs to change.

     

    At least she came back. Unlike Paige VanZant, who ate up a lot of TV time, tanked the credibility of at least 3 wrestlers AND the TNT title, got a match and then... just left.
