Big Swole vs. Emi Sakura set for Dynamite this week

[Steveweiser]

Can Big Swole finally get her first win in AEW? This should be pretty fun!

[XIII]

Emi is a great pickup to work with the younger ladies and keep things going smoothly. This one could go either way.

[Joe Neglia]

I'm really digging Swole. She does so many little subtle things in the ring beyond movesets...facial expressions, gestures...I see her having a very solid future.

[Dub H]

Emi is so far one of the "top" girls in the pecking order of kayfabe.


And she can teach/guide Swole through her flaws( Her last match exposed her technical weakness).

So it should be a great first win for Swole.

[Zone Was Wrong]

Pretty excited for this, Big Swole has been on my radar for a bit and I'm so happy she's getting a spotlight in AEW

[chrom]

Cool

I think that, for a chunk of time, the women's division of AEW was the weakest part of it, but now, they've got future stars like Statlander and Big Swole, both of whom I can see being big players in the AEW Women's Division in years to come.

Honestly, this might be wishful thinking, but use the STARDOM connection to get people like Hana Kimura and Kagetsu over to AEW, they'd be used a shit-load better than the time that they were in ROH along with Mayu. (all of them were f***ing wasted wrestling in front of a dead crowd...then again, it's ROH, a dead crowd could be considered a 'lively as f***' crowd?)

[Cyno]

I think this will be Big Swole's first match on Dynamite unless she did a tag match sometime and I don't remember. Really looking forward to it.

Sakura can slide into thr no.1 slot after Hikaru's loss

[Corre.222]

Aerial Monroe has a SWOLE mentality.

You could have an entire women's division of wrestlers who have jobbed to Nia/Iiconics (and add Shanna), and it could be better than Raw's women's division.

[Instant Classic]

Is that really her name?

[Fade]

I loved Swoles promo on Dark a few weeks back. Glad she’s getting this spotlight and opportunity, I want her to kill it.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

I wouldn't be surprised if they had Swole get her first win now that she's signed. Similar to Statlander who they had just doing jobs and then as soon as she signed they gave her a big win on Dynamite over Hikaru.

I wish it said Big Swole on her driver's license

I think she's been signed for a while, and they've been giving her a lot of matches on Dark, but I'd love if this will be her getting her first win.

I sing Swole's praises on here a lot, so I am definitely rooting for her, but working a match with someone with Emi's level of experience can only be a good thing for her, win, lose, or draw.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Swole's booking has been interesting so far. She's yet to win, but she has also been used very consistently while other women (Gibbs and Ford especially) have just about disappeared. Clearly they are high on her despite the losing record.

Ford, I think they're trying to sell her association with Kip more for the time being.

But yeah, definitely seems like they are giving Swole a try with a variety of opponents, both to season her (like Kris, she's been at this a few years, but she's definitely no veteran yet) and to get her over with audiences.

Isn’t wrestling the best? In what other world would a crusty old fart like JR say “Big Swole”:

This is a big match. Sakura could take the number one spot with Shida losing to Statlander, and Swole could keep Shida in first place if she picks up her first win. With Stalander winning last week, you gotta feel the underdog has momentum, this'll be fun.

I am inclined to think it might be Big Swole's time for that reason, given Emi already got a title shot and lost, anyway, so it wouldn't make a ton of sense to position her for another one yet.
