- Top 5 Moments: Overlooked Women From The Divas Era
The Divas Era is often remembered in a negative light with only a select few women from the era being held in some regard for their success. Until now, as during Women’s History Month, I will be spotlighting those women that often fall by the wayside. Whatever your opinion of the Divas Era, you cannot deny the impact that the women in this list had on the sport within WWE. Therefore, without further ado here are the Top 5 Overlooked Women of the Divas Era: 5. Eve Torres Despite winning Diva Search 2007 in early 2009, she would not have her first major roster storyline with Michelle McCool. Aside from a lackluster Championship reign, she faced the Divas of Doom in a series of interesting matches. She would later morph into her evil, authority figure character, becoming the Divas division’s Achilles heel. Due to her absence from the modern wrestling scene, she has faded into oblivion since her 2013 retirement. But this isn’t a cause to ignore Torres’ contributions to the current women’s wrestling environment. 4. Kaitlyn We are reaching ‘Higher’ for our next entry. Anyways, Kaitlyn debuted as part of the all-women’s season of NXT under the mentorship of Vickie Guerrero. Post NXT, in the summer of 2012, Kaitlyn would find herself in a bitter rivalry with the power-hungry Eve Torres. Kaitlyn won the Championship here after a botched Battle Royal finish drove her into a championship fight. This reign would be most notable for her revolutionary feud with ex-best friend AJ Lee. Lee debuted her psychotic, heel character as she exposed her months-long plan to deceive Kaitlyn. This would culminate in a brilliant title match between the two. After this storyline, Kaitlyn would be sporadically featured on TV until she eventually retired in 2014. Kaitlyn retired from the profession, which may explain her lack of appreciation, but she represented a different sort of woman. One that looked and wrestled differently to the ‘typical Diva’ stereotype commonly presented at the time. 3. Emma It’s all about…Emma! The forgotten four horsewomen! Emma debuted for NXT in 2012 and upon becoming a beloved fan-favorite she debuted her bubbly character on the main roster in early 2014. She would immediately find herself in a partnership with fellow comedic foil Santino Marella in what would be the defining role for her babyface persona as her funky dancing walk to the ring got her over with the fans. In 2016, she returned to the main roster to form Team B.A.D and Blonde as part of Brie Bella’s retirement storyline. She would vanish until early 2017 (I will be providing no comment on ‘EmmaLina’) in which she then featured in multiple women’s championship feuds against Alexa Bliss and Asuka until her abrupt release in 2017. This may not seem like an ‘entry-worthy’ run in WWE but in both her NXT runs she was consistently in the mix, even with the four-horsewomen. She was the perfect heel foil for various up-and-coming babyfaces as well as her initial face character being one of the most popular characters in WWE at the time. 2. Alicia Fox Pa-pa-party because Alicia Fox is finally getting the recognition that she deserves! From her unique debut in 2008 Fox was a mainstay of the women’s division for well over a decade. Yet, she hasn’t been treated with the respect that her tenure deserves. Why is this? Your guess is as good as mine! To start, in 2010 she captured the Divas Championship at the Fatal-Four-Way PPV, making her the first and ONLY African American to win the belt in the entirety of its existence. Then, upon joining the Total Divas cast, she would then find herself involved in storylines related to the show. In 2015, Fox would join The Bella Twins to form Team Bella and they would become the core antagonists of the Women’s Revolution. She would then appear sporadically until her iconic Survivor Series captaincy in 2017. In 2019, she retired from the industry. Throughout her career, Fox developed her own, unique style of wrestling with her over-the-top selling and unique offense. As well as this, Fox excelled in the psycho, crazy chick persona. However, even more, important than that, is that she was the only form of representation and diversity that the women’s division had at the time. She became the only Diva that young, black girls had to relate to, and for that her hard work and career should only be commended. 1. Layla She’s insatiable! She’s flawless! She’s Miss Layla El! Another Diva Search winner turned successful women’s superstar, Layla would begin her WWE career as part of the scandalous trio ‘Extreme Expose’ alongside Brooke and Kelly Kelly. Upon their disbandment, in 2009, she formed the FLAWLESS duo of LayCool alongside Michelle McCool. The two would take the division by storm finding themselves in prominent storylines with the likes of Mickie James and Beth Phoenix of which the latter saw Layla become the Women’s Champion, the first of her career. They would soon unify their titles to become co-champions. However, seeds of dissension were sown throughout 2011 which culminated in a ‘Loser Leaves WWE’ match at Extreme Rules, which Layla saw herself victorious in. Then in her 2012 return, she defeated Nikki Bella to win her first Divas Championship. After appearing sporadically, Layla replaced Summer Rae as Fandango’s dancer which saw the two competing for Fandango’s affections. After multiple matches, they decided to turn on their lover and form a team with each other. This partnership would see Layla to her 2015 retirement. Layla was a prime example of someone who shouldn’t have succeeded but did. She came into the industry with no prior experience but tirelessly worked to improve her skills. Her partnership with McCool helped reestablish interest in women’s wrestling in WWE. Yet, she was often viewed as the second to McCool throughout their partnership and for that, I only want to spotlight her work even more. #WWE

- Top 5 Moments: Divas Who Could Cut Promos
The women in WWE have all delivered and showcased how good things can be in and out of the ring. During this age, there were some incredible competitors, but there were also some incredible speakers. Whether it’s massive babyface promos or amazing trash-talking heels, this period has seen some of the finest talkers ever. 5. Melina Melina was one of, if not the greatest female wrestlers of the Ruthless Aggression Era. She performed brilliantly both inside and outside the ring, and in whatever capacity she was given. Her athleticism and agility had her stand out, but she was also a good talker too. She was the mouthpiece for Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury for MNM before branching out on her own for her solo career. While Melina wasn’t the best in this period of time, she wasn’t bad either. She could cut a convincing promo and tell a story effectively, especially when working as a heel, and could captivate fans in attendance as well. 4. Beth Phoenix Beth Phoenix was a legendary female wrestler who could do it all in and out of the ring. Her strong style in the ring was unusual in the WWE at the time. Phoenix promos were always persuasive and easy to get into, but when she turned heel, they came alive. Her strong delivery and amazing stories lead to several memorable promotions during her career. 3. AJ Lee AJ Lee was amazing on the mic, but she wasn’t around to reap all the benefits. However, she provided the framework for others to do so. One way Lee did that was with her amazing promo skills.AJ might be a lovable babyface or a loathed heel by the WWE Universe, playing the psychopath character too well. She was always given tons of promo time and with good reason. 2. Michelle McCool Michelle McCool was the best talker during the Ruthless Aggression Era for a woman during that time, with this being a major strength of hers. She could back it up in the ring, but when it came to talking, McCool could hold her own comfort in the ring with any woman she stepped across from her. Her ability to trash talk other wrestlers is something that made her an amazing heel, which pushed her as one of the top stars in this era. She was always confident with her talking and that is where she thrived. 1. Mickie James On the microphone, Mickie James has always been a strong talker, which is one of the reasons she has had such a great wrestling career. James was great at diving into the character aspect of wrestling, which is what put her over so strong. Her initial program with Trish Stratus really set her up for major success in the WWE and she’s continued that strong work throughout her career. She could be a convincing babyface, having the fans feel sympathy for her, but she could also flip that and be a hated heel as well, showing great range across her career. #Divas #DivasEra #womenswrestling #WWE
- Top 5 Moments: Stephanie McMahon
Unbelievably sweet. The Taker’s abducted bride. The Million Dollar Princess. A Principal owner. The Chief Brand Officer. A philanthropist, wife, and mother. The ultimate Girl Boss. When one thinks about Stephanie McMahon, the female heir and Linda’s daughter, these are the phrases that spring to mind. In reality, she worked her way through the firm as a product model and receptionist, not as a superstar. It was 1999 when she made her debut televised appearance as a nice daddy’s daughter unaware of the crazy locker room. To obtain power and rule over anyone who dared to confront her, Stephanie had become a diabolical lady at the turn of the century. Here at Women’s Wrestling Talk we’re going to tally down some of her most incredible moments! Here are Stephanie McMahon’s 5 Best Moments. Daddy’s Little Girl No More: Stephanie Turns on Her Father and Chooses Triple H After being engaged to the late wrestler Test and having that wedding go up in smoke due to some manipulation by Triple H, Stephanie found herself begrudgingly married to the man known as The Game. Vince McMahon and Triple H’s feud escalated when they challenged each other to a No Holds Barred match at the first Armageddon pay per view in December of 1999. The vicious match that included weapons and an appearance from Mankind ended with an unsuccessful attempt to attack Triple H with a sledgehammer, which allowed for the Cerebral Assassin to grab the weapon and hit Vince for the victory. But it was the moment after the match that shook the audience to its core. As Triple H Seemly Raised the sledgehammer to attack Stephanie, he dropped it as they smiled at each other and kissed in the middle of the ring to reveal that they planned to take over the WWE to kick off the McMahon-Helmsley era. Stephanie McMahon Ushers in The Divas Revolution (2015) Picture it! Summer of 2015 in WWE. The family-bred, former NXT Women’s and Divas Champion Paige was in a major feud with the longest reigning Divas Champion Nikki Bella. With every match they had against each other, Nikki would use underhanded tactics to hold on to her title, including utilizing her twin sister Brie and Alicia Fox in the form of Team Bella. After months of the one-sided battles, Stephanie McMahon had seen enough. On the July 13, 2015, episode of Raw, the boss queen stood with Paige’s mission to shake up the women’s division and stated that a person “cannot do that alone.” With that declaration, Stephanie announced the arrivals of three of the Four Horsewomen of NXT: Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks. Becky and Charlotte aligned with Paige as Team PCB and Sasha formed Team B.A.D. with 2 times SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi and former Women’s Tag Team champion Tamina Snuka. As TeamBella stood in fear, Stephanie stated that she “had set the table of opportunity before them,” and as a heated brawl broke out between the three teams, Stephanie and the audience watched as WWE’s Women’s Revolution began. Stephanie’s Tenure as SmackDown General Manager (2002-2003) Stephanie had been absent for months after her on-screen marriage to Triple H ended. On SmackDown on July 18, 2002, her father Vince named her as the new general manager of the blue brand. During the Ruthless Aggression period, he declared he intended to challenge Raw general manager Eric Bischoff. This news stunned the SmackDown locker room when she entered in a stunning business suit and pearls. She threw Bischoff out of the building and rallied for stars like The Rock and Kurt Angle. Stephanie launched the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship and ushered in a new era for the United States Championship. She was forced to resign after a sour rivalry with Vince McMahon and former Women’s Champion Sable ended in the first-ever father-daughter “I Quit” match at No Mercy in 2003. It was inspiring to see a woman in command of a major network program. Stephanie McMahon vs. Brie Bella (Summer Slam 2014) For their part, McMahon and Triple H reconstituted The Authority on August 19, 2014’s, Raw. Then she threatened to fire Daniel Bryan/Bryan Danielson’s wife, Brie Bella, forcing her to quit before punching McMahon in the face. McMahon attacked Brie when she approached her after attacking Nikki Bella on Raw on July 21. McMahon was charged with assault! Brie was rehired the next week and challenged McMahon to Summer Slam. Stephanie had not competed on PPV in almost a decade. McMahon’s defense against Brie was quite powerful. She wanted to humiliate Brie, and when it seemed Brie had the upper hand with Nikki Bella’s help, The Fearless One punched her twin sister. Despite Stephanie’s horror, she pinned Brie as Triple H approved. Stephanie’s desire for power had no boundaries. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H vs Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle (WrestleMania 34-2018) No one expected Stephanie to be as clever as Ronda Rousey in her Mania debut. Aside from preventing Rousey from tagging in, she and Triple H’s connection was on full display. Even after being tagged in, Stephanie countered Rousey’s armbar with a DDT and a barrage of strikes! Imagine fighting a former UFC Champion without any wrestling expertise. Stephanie demonstrated she was willing to push Rousey to her limits. She even scolded Kurt Angle, the Raw General Manager at the moment! Despite Stephanie’s best efforts, Ronda’s power overcame her, and she had to tap out. The CMO may not have won, but she demonstrated she was willing to battle beside her better half. This stands tall as the Top Stephanie McMahon moment #StephanieMcMahon #WWE

Whether their faction was viewed more off-screen than on, The Four Horsewomen of WWE will forever go down as one of the greatest factions of all time. Since their days together in NXT, these four women have changed the mold of women’s wrestling, especially in WWE. Stephanie McMahon introduced Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks to the red brand, redefining the game of the women’s division as we know it today. During this time, Bayley was still in NXT, later being introduced to the main roster. Once the four were back together, the destruction and domination continued. In case you did not know or just forgot: Charlotte Flair is the first WWE RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is the first WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks and Bayley are the first WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Together, the four horsewomen have a total of four NXT Women’s Championship reigns, a WWE Divas Championship reign, 14 WWE Raw Women’s Championship reigns, 13 WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship reigns, and two WWE Tag Team Women’s Championship reigns. Charlotte, Sasha, and Becky have all been a part of the main event of WrestleMania while Bayley made her own history in the main event of NXT Takeover. They have made history together and separately over the years, continuing their domination while breaking down even more doors. It is safe to say that The Era of The Four Horsewomen is far from over. Thus far, the one thing that I have loved the most is seeing the feuds created amongst the four. The Queen vs. The Boss This is the first legitimate feud we got from the four on the main roster. Time and time again, these two women went back and forth and proved to everyone that they were here to make a statement. People can say what they want about this feud, however, it will go down as one of the greatest feuds in women’s wrestling history. These women went from the main event to the main event from program to program, giving the women’s evolution even more growth and depth in progression. The anticipation for Sasha to finally beat Charlotte kept fans on the edge of their seats. There is an importance in the way one of the matches ended in the crowd and absorbed the entire arena. We need this feud again and many were expecting this match to happen at WrestleMania. I am going to be patient for now and await the revisit because it is a fact that when they get together, a masterpiece is formed every single time. The Man vs. The Opportunity Since Summerslam 2018, the feud between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch has been at the top of conversations. This past Survivor Series, we took a trip back to this feud and added even more turmoil to their history. This time, the story spilled out of the ring and gave the story in the ring more passion and excitement for some. The promos took us back to the beginning of it all. My favorite match from this feud is their meeting at WWE Women’s Evolution. Everything in this match created their path to WrestleMania 35 when Becky became “Becky Two Belts.” In my opinion, Charlotte Flair should be given more credit for her help in building The Man as a character during this feud, but we’ll leave that conversation for April. The Role Model vs. The Standard Bayley and Sasha have one of the biggest feuds of NXT history. Many would say that their match at TakeOver Brooklyn is one of the greatest matches of TakeOver history. The first-ever Iron Women Match between the two stole the show and changed the game along the way. Sasha and Bayley talked about the importance of this match and how they planned to break barriers to the representation of women in wrestling. There were spots in this match that women were not even allowed to make. These women took that risk to push back and prove that the women were just as good as any man in wrestling. This feud is important to the growth we see in the Women’s Evolution and the history of NXT. The Women of the Cell One thing that stands out to me is that each of the four horsewomen has entered Hell in the Cell. The first-ever women’s Hell in a Cell was also the first-ever time we saw a women’s main event on a major pay-per-view. From Sahsa versus Bayley to Becky versus Sasha, here is my ranking of each match from most favorite to least favorite: #1 Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks #2 Sasha Banks vs. Bayley #3 Bianca Belair vs. Bayley #4 Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch Another article discussing and breaking down the importance of Charlotte and Sasha Banks’ match at Hell in the Cell will be dropping later this month. Be sure to check out more articles discussing the history of women’s wrestling exclusively here on Women’s Wrestling Talk! #Bayley #BeckyLynch #CharlotteFlair #SashaBanks

- Madusa: The Trailblazer
Debrah Ann Micelo, also known as Madusa/Alundra Blayze, was born on February 9, 1964, in Milan, Italy. She is many things, but one of the most notable is that she is a pioneer. Madusa trained with Eddie Sharkey in 1985 and competed in a large number of matches on the independent circuit earning around $5 each match. In 1986, she competed as a face in the AWA (American Wrestling Association), where she was involved in a rivalry with Sherri Martel. Madusa would go on to win the AWA World Women’s Champion a year later, after beating Candi Devine in the finals. Curt Hennig, the AWA World Heavyweight Champion at the time, was also under her management. During this time period, Madusa would become the first woman to ever receive the Professional Wrestling Institute’s Rookie of the Year honor. Madusa made her professional wrestling debut in 1989 with All Japan Women’s Pro Wrestling. With the signing of a three-year contract, she became the first non-Japanese wrestler to do so. She had training in Japanese-style wrestling, as well as boxing, Muay Thai, and kickboxing, among other disciplines. She subsequently went on to compete in the World Championship Wrestling from 1991 to 1993. Madusa was one of the Dangerous Alliance members there at the time. Following her departure from WCW, she would go on to become a member of the WWE roster. Alundra Blayze was her given name in the community. In the WWE, she would go on to capture the Women’s Championship, which was then vacant. She competed in a six-woman competition to determine the winner. Bull Nakano and Bertha Faye were among the people with whom she would get into fights later on. However, after being dismissed from WWE, she was stripped of her WWE title and returned to World Championship Wrestling. The WWE championship would not be reclaimed until 1998. When the championship was revived, Jacqueline would be the one to take home the victory. Madusa would remain with WCW until 2001, but she would take a break during that period. Madusa would also go and train select ladies, such as Molly Holly, when the opportunity arose. In 2001, she announced her retirement, saying she was dissatisfied with the direction that women’s wrestling. During her interview with Women’s Wrestling Talk, she reiterated this topic as well as in her book. Madusa also ventured into the world of monster trucks in the year 1999. Madusa is the name she gave to the vehicle she bought. She would go on to win the co-championship in the Monster Jam World Finals in 2004. She was also the first and only woman to participate in the Super Bowl of Motorsports, which was held in Las Vegas. These accomplishments were recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. In addition to her performances in the NWA, WWE, and AEW, Madusa is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, an author, and the commissioner of the Japanese women’s company World Wonder Ring Stardom, among other accomplishments. Madusa is a pioneer in every sense of the word. #Madusa #WCW #WWE
- Tony Khan Talks Women Potentially Headlining PPVs
Tony Khan was recently questioned about the possibility of a female PPV headliner. The AEW President noted how many concerts Britt Baker has closed, noting her consistency in such situations. “I definitely think at some of our major events, Britt has main-evented some of the biggest events in the history of our company already. Britt was a main eventer against Ruby Soho at the Grand Slam,” he noted. “Which was the biggest event we have ever had in terms of fan attendance, and mainstream attention. “Britt was the main event of the first-ever St Patrick’s Day Slam against Thunder Rosa, they were the main event, like you said, in that historic show. And that was the first-ever Dynamite women’s main event. And then the first-ever Rampage episode, Britt vs. Red Velvet in Pittsburgh was the main event of the first show we ever had, that was a World Championship match also. So, she has main-evented so many of these huge shows, and time and time again she has delivered. “I have worked on the card order, and right now that is one of the key, pivotal matches on the card. It is not what I have going on last, but it is one of the biggest matches we’ve had. Many of the best matches in AEW history were on PPVs and not necessarily the very last match. Although, a lot of those last matches have been great too. It’s definitely something I am open to, and obviously having had Britt and Thunder Rosa the first St Patrick’s Day Slam main event. “Again, just to reiterate, having Britt and having Britt and Red Velvet in the first-ever Rampage main event, period. And having had Britt vs Ruby Soho in the first-ever Grand Slam main event. Also Britt vs. Riho in the first-ever Battle Of The Belts main event. So, a lot of these signature cards we have seen Britt defending the title. Now, this is the toughest test I think she has faced as a champion, or as a pro wrestler. It’s a huge, huge match. There are a lot of main events on this card. Anything I think on this show could almost main event it.” Tony Khan also remarked on the lesser amount of African American fans watching AEW than WWE. He said the corporation has been doing certain things to try to build that audience. “I have noticed that I study the patterns very closely and it’s something I am cognizant of. And an audience that we really do want to grow, and it’s very important to us. Not just growing that audience, I think diversity is important to the company for a number of reasons,” he said. “But absolutely expanding our viewership, we think that is something that will help us. And that’s why you see so much diverse talent on the show. “There’s been better representation, I think than ever before. Diversity among the champions and new stars coming in. I think when you look at who has been coming into the company, and the profile of free agents we continue to sign, and the huge push that Jade Cargill is getting, and a lot of the stars that have been getting pushed up the card and getting put in big spots. I think that is consistent with trying to grow that audience.” AEW Revolution will take place this Saturday, March 6th at 8/7 c in Orlando, FL. #AEW
- Future Talent of AEW
Since it was started, AEW has been accused of not taking care of its women’s division very well. It is a reputation that the company is still having trouble with. But in the last few months, AEW has added more women to its roster. Thunder Rosa, Ruby Soho, Serena Deeb, and Mercedes Martinez are some of the well-known people who have given the division a new lease on life. Even more important, these women not only have a lot of credibilities and a lot of star power. They also act as mentors for the next generation of talented people to help them grow and become better at their jobs. So, who are the women in AEW’s next group? Some are already on AEW every week. Several people are just starting out on their own journey. All of these women could be the future of AEW if they had the right mix of spices. Reka Tehaka It was when I saw Tehaka and Marina Shafir fight on AEW Dark that I learned more about her. When Tehaka and Shafir fought, they worked well together because of their MMA wrestling styles. There are more Reka out there now, so I’m looking for more of them. There hasn’t been a lot of Tehaka on AEW. Still, Tehaka has been making a name for herself on the indie scene, even though she doesn’t have a lot of money or a big name. Everything you want in a wrestler is in Reka, so you should hire her. She can be both a babyface and a heel, which is good for someone who has only worked in the ring a few years. In the Nightmare Factory, Tehaka learned how to be strong and have a bright future. All wrestlers need that intangible “it” factor, and she has it. With time, she will become a well-trained wrestler, too. One to keep an eye on Reka is indeed one to keep an eye out for. There is a good chance that she will make her Dynamite debut soon rather than later. Jade Cargill With only a year in the business, Jade is already a huge star. When she won the TBS title, I was a little surprised at first. I didn’t think she was ready to hold a title that could make other women feel bad. I thought I was being a fool. There were people who didn’t believe Jade would be able to do what they thought she could. AEW has put on a lot of fights with Thunder Rosa, Kris Statlander, and most recently, Anna Jay since he joined. Improve and win over more people with each new week. You know the rest: The name of TBS is true. Jamie Hayter Jamie Hayter is one of the least-appreciated women on the list, even though we see her almost every week. Because of Britt Baker, she has to work under her, which can both be good and bad. While they worked well together, it was a good way for Hayter to get her foot in the door as Britt’s partner. As a group, they have worked together for too long, and it’s probably not good for Hayter any longer. Even though Hayter has some flaws, he has still impressed. During the short time she has been on TV, Hayter has looked like a natural heel. There aren’t many women on the team who can be both real badass and chicken s**t heel. There is a good chance that Jamie Hayter will break out. She will have a long-lasting feud with Mrs. DMD, and it will be epic! Hayter is a rising star. Kris Statlander As Kris Statlander is already well-known in AEW, this may appear like a lame attempt to save face. However, the greatest extraterrestrial in the galaxy is AEW’s near future, in my opinion. She is one of the best AEW wrestlers I have ever seen, and she always brings a grin to my face whenever I see her on TV. The combination of her stature, strength, and agility as a powerlifter result in an impressive repertoire of moves. Is it possible for anybody else to do an inverted piledriver and a 450-foot splash like this? Statlander’s early days at AEW were marked by superb character work, with a single boop on the nose expressing everything she needed to say. Her pun-filled character names are also spot on. Area 451, now that’s a brilliant idea. Kris is being held back by the same skill that drew us to her in the first place. To see Stanlander join Best Friends and Orange Cassidy to the ring was a touch disheartening. I still have faith that Statlander will return to the Andromeda galaxy with the AEW Women’s Championship sometime soon. Anna Jay Anna Jay, who debuted in AEW and has made significant progress since then, is proof that sometimes things just take a little time to work out. In the beginning, she had a difficult time working with the Dark Order. In her role as Brodie Lee’s stoic, melancholy henchwoman, Jay was given very little room to maneuver. Thanks to her newfound fame as a model and her relationship with Tay Conti, Anna has a fresh start. Wrestling is known for making individuals go outside of their comfort zones, but there are times when it’s better to remain with what you’re familiar with. Anna Jay has flourished as a result of her close-knit group of friends and the freedom to express herself as she sees fit. Anna Jay’s recent Lights Out tag team bout on Rampage has placed her on the attention of many fans. Together with her recent victory against Jade Cargill, this proves that Anna Jay is a rising star. Anna Jay’s progress has been steady ever since she arrived at AEW. There’s a rare chance for you to see Anna perform on the mic on Being The Elite when she isn’t beating the living hell out of Stu Grayson. Here, their roster is constantly expanding. In any case, what are your thoughts on the matter? Are there any new major names in AEW? If not, who do you think would be a good match for the independents and AEW.? Let us know what you think in the comments section below. #AEW
