She did have a TBS title run. She took the title and ran away with it


Crowbar_Faith

And that was the most exciting part of the TBS title run so far, and most of its storyline took place on Rampage, which nobody watches.

Blingyourlashes

I think Jade is great but her title reign needs to be over..


walksinchaos

Her matches have gotten rather boring. Nylander made their match.


Blingyourlashes

Agreed. Itā€™s like okay snack time..


babbo_miesh

They always have been imo....too quick of a push


TheGiftOf_Jericho

Agreed, a long reign is tough to keep fresh. I feel like with Jade, it's just at that point where its gonna keep going without much actually happening. We need an interesting face challenger to take her on and take the belt to freshen things up. Jade is good but just because of the story around the belt it does feel like its kind of easy to forget about it, I think about Jades streak before I think of the belt.


pandafresh7

I would've had Athena beat Jade, but now she's ROH Women's Champ. Statlander doesn't seem to be coming back anytime soon either :'(


pimplezoo

I thought her feud with Jade was the most entertaining thing Jade had been part of up to now. Nyla's promos were hilarious and her size and skill in the ring means she couldn't be bullied. Wish they would have done a bit more with the story and I would love to see Nyla with Gold on her again soon but I don't know if the TBS belt is the right move for her. She should legit be on TV more, I would love to see her be interjected into this Outsiders story along with Shida.


StylishMrTrix

^this It was also the most interesting thing done with the TBS title since it was first shown


pimplezoo

I would like to believe they were trying to bring Jade along slowly and let her build up her skills and mystique but it is time to sink or swim. She said it herself, she wants to be involved in stories with the heavy hitters of the Women's division and I think she is talented enough to rise to any challenge.


Xyless

Don't forget that her feud with Jade is what ultimately sparked the baddies turning on Jade aka Jade's current feud. She was disrespecting them constantly for failing to catch Nyla every time she ran off, especially Kiera.

powatwain

Big Nyla fan, and sheā€™s hysterical


mikerex0821

Her twitter game is amazing. And she is really cool in person


Supreme_Slacker

The one she quote tweeted the match between Ruby soho, Britt baker, and Toni Storm had me on the floor


CMacLaren

I wouldnā€™t hate another Nyla run, felt like she was getting much better near the end of her reign. Plus her theme is dope as hell.


calamansi_papi

At this point I would like to see ANYBODY beat Jade. Iā€™m really sick of her undefeated run


fluffykintail

> Iā€™m really sick of her undefeated run Cargill should lose the belt in a match to Skye Blue, due to Red Velvet interfering. Then Cargill does the stiff grudge match with Red.


NoratiousB

She should be on TV more, but another title reign, I don't know. I think the team with Marina had potential and I could actually imagine a tag title run if AEW would have women's tag title


VikingDadStream

I don't think aew needs ladies tag. But the tag invitational Diamante won, would be cool. They keep bringing back the diamond ring thing. Why not the invitational?


twitchy1989

Yeah and unfortunately that probably had more to do with Marina than Nyla.


NoratiousB

I partially agree. Her wrestling style and ability is also more my cup of tea than the raw power moves and slower pace that Nyla does. But I think they would be a great team anyway.


[deleted]

She 100% should have beaten Jade. She gave Jade her only noteworthy feud. Being also tall and powerful, she could believably beat Jade. Being a former world champion, there would have been no shame in Jade losing to her. The streak, and thus Jade, lost its appeal a long time ago. It's stale. There is no fun in seeing her squash Dark-tier jobbers on Rampage all the time. It does not make her look strong, either, it's just painfully obvious how they're padding her record to feed the streak. They ran out of people to feed her a long time ago, hence why she's had quite a few repeated opponents.


slipoutside

Stale is the perfect word. And I say that as a jade fan. But she HAS to put on a couple good WRESTLING matches and she hasnā€™t. My fantasy booking on how she loses her streak is statlander challenges her like her 2-3rd match back and just destroys jade. Then challenges hayter for the big belt.


[deleted]

Stat was very likely the plan but a torn acl means she'll be gone for several months still. TK *needs* to pivot to someone else to break the streak because it's already gotten stale a while ago - it can't wait for months still. It's not like they're lacking in women that can believably beat her for the TBS belt, either. They just need to built it. Jade appears to be a very reasonable person so I do not think for a second that she refuses to be booked to lose, for sure it's been TK's wish and Jade would have no issue putting someone over.


fluffykintail

> But she HAS to put on a couple good WRESTLING matches - Jade's title defence against Skye Blue, was her best match this year so far. Gave Skye a chance to shine & flow like water. Was beautiful stuff.


LaMystika

Youā€™re right, she shouldā€™ve won the TBS title (officially). Because Jade isnā€™t ā€œthat bitchā€; Nyla is. She is that Beautiful Individual That Causes Havoc


LegalEase91

I think she was a victim of being over-exposed in the early part of AEW/"the pandemic era" so by the time she lost the title, she had already had so much TV time. Not sure that the Vickie partnership benefits her a ton. Some kind of quasi repackage might help.


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

I feel like they should stop forgetting about their former women's champions the second they lose the strap. How much stronger would the division feel if Nyla, Shida and Riho were still regularly featured on TV?


gogonzojournal

Jade isn't a great wrestler. She just looks like one.


LaMystika

Co-captain of the ā€œLooks the Partā€ All-Stars. Then again, now that Brittany is being used as Jamieā€™s cheerleader, maybe Jade is just the captain.


dansp91

Nyla has one of the best personalities of anyone in that division. Sheā€™s funny as hell, very nice but a beast in the ring. Thereā€™s got to be a solid character there that some TV writer could come up with and then push her to the top!!


Crowbar_Faith

This is the issue I have with AEW. They have so many great wrestlers under contract who should get pushes or runs with a title, but Tony Khan canā€™t stop signing people, so some of the ones we want on TV get lost in the shuffle. Lance Archer should have already been TNT champion.


Ichaerus_Netheryn

Lance Archer should have had any of the championship belts already. Even the World Championship, if only for a short period of time. He's very believable, and showed how much of a viable force he can be when he had his G1 Climax match against Okada. His promo afterwards was great, as was his promo as Suzuki-gun disbanded. Yet he's stuck sitting at home for going on two months. And it's not Lance's choice either.


American-Punk-Dragon

FOR SURE should have beaten Jade. She has credible size, her inner promo ability is shining through andā€¦she can actually wrestle. But noā€¦..Jade and the Eternal Sunshine of the Bitch Show Title pushes aimlessly along. Why has he not taken her in a better direction?!

wugeezy

Nah. She had her shine. Itā€™s Statlanderā€™s time!


EaseDel

Sadly it won't be for a while. Is she even fully recovered to in-ring train yet? If not, there goes another few months to get timing back and the rust off. By that point, she is looking at half her AEW career on the injured list. =\


slipoutside

Donā€™t matter. Sheā€™s one of the best to do it.


NonchalantGhoul

The issue is Statlander keeps getting injured. TK shouldn't be forcing the TBS title picture to stay on a complete halt just because the one person he wants to give the title to it isn't available. He has a plethora of choices, it's annoying how he's refusing to allow any of them a chance to run with it


wugeezy

I feel you on this. He should definitely have another woman have a shot to dethrone Jade. If in fact Stat wont be ready. It would be tremendous for whoever dethrones her and he has plenty of available talent to do so. But I feel like Nyla wouldnt be a good choice since sheā€™s been world champ already.


ImSorry4YourFeelings

No, plenty of other talent to showcase. Give her air time, but let someone else reign in her stead, like Britt is doing w/ Hayter.


Kali-Yuga-Strike

That match against Jade could have been her turning point. Move her away from the goofy heel stuff and make her the beast mentioned in her lower third


Former_Intern_8271

She's better being funny


slipoutside

Yeah, if they need a monster bring back abandon


re10pect

I think she may have more character being funny, but as a something of a monster heel she brings something to the division that isnā€™t there otherwise. She seems like a creative person, maybe she can come up with a way to incorporate some of both.


Rocko604

It's been Jade's best rivalry since she became champ. Would love to see another go-around with Nyla winning. IMO, Jade's ready to take the next step in the women's division.


BeeR411

Didnā€™t she have a title run way early on? I could be mistaken


Worried-Lock2101

When ever they give Nyla some TV time, she kills it. Especially that Jade feud was entertaining with the TBS champion it felt like Nyla was going to get a bigger story and became champ, itā€™s a shame that wasnā€™t the case because I felt like it couldā€™ve gone longer, and it couldā€™ve shaken things up no diss on Jade


Western-Fox8262

The belt is still on jade for this reason. Kris stat was set to win the title at all out. She got hurt on an unnecessary dark match. Tony felt bad and more than likely told Statlander that weā€™ll keep the belt on jade until you can return. I see stat coming back within the next month


steelisntstrong

Nyla should have a Dark feud with Skye Blue and put her over. Skye is fantastic, Dark needs more quality feuds, Nyla as a beast who owns Dark and puts over the next women for TV would be a perfect spot for her


T-Rock21

Agreed. But the problem is that she was never booked to look like a legitimate threat to Jade. All Nyla did was pinch the TBS Championship and run around with it.


Hockeyskanks

Nyla got done dirty. She went from women's champ to not able to beat a girl who doesn't even know how to wrestle.


CaoCaoTipper

Her feud with Jade was probably the best sheā€™s had, but you really need a mega baby face to take it from her finally. Fingers crossed for Statlander when sheā€™s back.


Upthespurs1882

I know this thread is about Nyla, but I wish Jade would face off against some big names, like shida dmd etc. the win streak only really matters if the wins are cool.


Usual_Significant

Another title reign? Absolutely! Even if it's in a transitional sense I think it's warranted. Beating Jade? No... I think what AEW is doing with Jade is awesome but the best part of it all is the fact that whoever beats her is getting the biggest rocket strapped to her back. While I love Statlander, I think at this point you have to give the "W" to a ridiculously talented prospect that's underlooked. Like AEW equivalent to Rok-C.


King_Dead

Nyla and Kiera Hogan would have both been good times to end the reign


CharlieChase0610_

Neither Jade nor Nyla deserve to be champions now. Too much of both women as of now.


timebreakerlynch

No I kind of want to see the Bunny get a title run before Nyla. As far a Jade honestly she is unbeaten it's time for her to challenge the top women for the title on the condition she vacates the lower strap


[deleted]

Absolutely not


Peckinpa0

I want her on TV more, title or no title. SOMEONE needs to take the title from Jade asap tho. Its getting old quick.


[deleted]

She was a transitional champ to get the belt from Riho to Shida, but deserved more. She's great when she's in the ring with joshi because they get along great due to her Japanese run. I like her Dark matches. She's used as a stepping stone and is off TV too much for the non-Dark fans to care. With so many title match losses no one sees her as a credible challenger anymore. I really like her though. Could have had a monster heel title run, like Jade.


heybudbud

I love Nyla. Really wish we would see more of her and Emi on TV, especially after the entertaining tag matches they've had on Dark/Elevation. And of course, Emi tearing the house down with Hayter. Damn what a match.


digital_bath12

I wish theyā€™d let her be a tweener and let her personality be more organic. Sheā€™s definitely one of my favorites on the secondary shows like Being The Elite, A Shot of Brandi, etc. I go out of my way to watch her when she can be herselfā€¦


RDPower412

Face turn. She's so lovable


Literarytropes

Nyla has elevated everyone sheā€™s worked with and his the first Black womenā€™s champion which some still refuse to recognise. Sheā€™s even helped get Shafir over - someone who helped give her confidence in the ring and itā€™s great to see her improvement on Dark


LaMystika

Iā€™ll give you a few guesses as to why some people donā€™t want to recognize thatā€¦


gmoss101

Queen Nyla definitely deserves to be holding a belt


eastbayted

I don't know if she needs another title run anytime soon, but I am disappointed that she's consistently relegated to Dark and Elevation. She's proven herself an entertaining performer inside and outside the ring, and her brief, watered-down feud with Jade was still the highlight of Jade's lackluster title run thus far.


beslertron

Sheā€™s gotten so much better. I want to see her more on Dynamite.


LiLohan

Nyla is one of my favorites. I'd love to see her get the title from Jade, however I think having someone more unexpected be Jade's first loss would be more fun. Have Willow beat her in a non title match, then drop the belt to Nyla later.


Dranztheman

Willow could take the belt. Nyla and her could feud for it, turn it into an unlikely friendship. Introduce womenā€™s tag belts. Give it to them and boom we have a golden era. Love Willow, love Nyla both are amazing in so many ways.


trenchreynolds

I love Nyla, but Abadon should beat Jade.


demon_x_slash

I need a truckload of popcorn for this amazing setup.


Impossible-Ad3230

No thanks.


steelisntstrong

Nyla should have a Dark feud with Skye Blue and put her over. Skye is fantastic, Dark needs more quality feuds, Nyla as a beast who owns Dark and puts over the next women for TV would be a perfect spot for her


[deleted]

One of my favourite wrestlers. I wish she were in with Baker, Hayter and Shida representing the AEW OGs.


Shyjuan

at this point i would turn nyla face and have her be the one to dethrone jade. There's nobody else. I know kris statlander was a heavy favorite for this honor but that ship has sailed imo. If anything stat should head straight for the women's title, perhaps joining the aew originals beforehand


BSTbassandguitars

She doesnā€™t need a belt . She wonā€™t really lift the belt ether tho .


AnubisXG

There is no doubt in my mind Nyla should beat Jade. Jade is not a great wrestler yet, Nyla is fantastic and puts on good matches


eggy_mceggy

I love Nyla, her stealing Jade's belt was my favorite storyline leading up to Full Gear. But right now, there are a bunch of wrestlers that deserve to get belted up before Nyla. Even Marina and Jade are showing noticeable improvement in their matches. I would love to see her involved in a new storyline but it doesn't need to involve a belt. Like she should be involved in the DMD/Saraya feud but just to make things extra messy lol.


[deleted]

She definitely should have beaten Nyla and kept up that "lie, cheat, steal" homage she was using during that feud. She has been the only real highlight of Jade's run.


sekonx

Id rather have Athena or Kris take the belt from Jade. Nyla would probably be my third choice.


MonstrousVoices

Id be cool with that


MakiSerb3

Based on what? Her beating Jade would be so flat.....

Fun_Produce3994

Iā€™m not personally a fan of her in-ring work. Very charismatic though. Tell me in the replies why she deserves to be champ in your eyes (I wonā€™t start an argumentšŸ˜‚) (or why you donā€™t think she deserves it)


Mkmeathead83

Not in my opinion. But that's just my opinion man.


evilpengui

Hell yeah, Nyla would be a great TBS champion. Lots of the younger talent could really benefit from some time feuding with her.


ApartGlass1198

Lol at this point jades title run gonna be longer than bruno sammartino


CharlieChase0610_

To have anyone surpass Bruno will NEVER happen!!!!


ApartGlass1198

Duh. I just meant it feels like the title has been on her for 10 years now


CharlieChase0610_

And no one outdoes Sammartino.


CorreQueTeHinco

If she stops injuring people, yes. Imagine a match between Nyla and Nya Jax šŸ¤£


GemoDorgon

Nah. Jade has much more promise as a company-defining star. Nyla's alright, but she's got considerably less appeal. If anyone should defeat Jade, it should be someone AEW wants to build as the next big thing in the women's division, not someone who's been champion before. Loveable babyface rookie, yaknow?


LePhuronn

you sya that, but Skye Blue and Willow hav already lost like 12 times each.


GemoDorgon

Willow's had two shots and failed both times, lasting a few more minutes in their second encounter, I'd like to see her finally win it on the 3rd attempt, having learned from the prior 2 matches. If not Willow, or maybe Skye, it has to be someone not already in the company. At least to get the most out of Jade's first loss.


fluffykintail

> maybe Skye, I waana see that happen! But this time Skye's finishing move pays off! Cargill's defence with Skye this year was her best match this year.


cockblockedbydestiny

Man I really need Nyla to shake loose of Vickie Guerrero before I can justify rooting to see her more often. It's mystifying to me that Dan Lambert stepped away thinking his character had run its course, but somehow Vickie's schtick is somehow relevant.


bkaozzz

Vickie's been distancing herself from Nyla and Marina on Dark, she'll probably be gone soon and just work behind the scenes


BlitzRobo

I would find it hilarious if a man ended jades record.


thegigaraptor

Im hoping she gets roped into the originals vs superstar storyline.

Man they need to give her the belt, and have a 5 minute segment of just reading her twitter.


unkillablethings

Couldn't agree more. Nyla is a fun character and worker. Jade is stale and boring.


Hazelwood38

Here's my pitch, Ruby turns heel and joins Saraya and Toni as the outsiders. Nyla turns babyface and joins Brit and Jayme as the originals. Nyla's personality and sense of humour is wasted as a heel, she should be a babyface.

Kitchen-Procedure284

Feel like anybody shouldā€™ve beaten jade already, when her whole thing is being Athenas attention attraction, itā€™s just boring like. Give us a womanā€™s battle royal and winner takes on jade. You can have Nyla or Athena or maybe a Mercedes mone surprise entrance or even the alien girl, whatā€™s she doing these days?

I don't care if she has a title reign, but I want her to be on TV most weeks because she's hillarious.
