She's spoken about her admiration for Chyna, and I think she can play that role.
Edit: I can see her having amazing crossover appeal for AEW, and it was so smart to put her together with Shaq. Eventually I can see her part of a top stable, and being someone who can beat up men and women.

Bit more time and polish and she'll be fine.

I think she has a lot of potential. For her first match, her athleticism shined through and combine that with her size and she has the makings of a solid power wrestler. Red Velvet was also a really good choice for her first opponent and helped cover up some warts.
More experience will hopefully get her polished in both execution of moves and ring psychology. But for her first ever match, it was pretty good.

I think she's a perfectly average "big woman" wrestler. She reminds me of a female Kevin Nash or something, and that's not a bad thing,

She looked a little 'Bambi on Ice' in places but I've seen a lot worse from far more experienced wrestlers so I would say it looked like a decent starting block for her career.
The great thing for her is that she's got size on her side so she's naturally going to be protected for a long time and put in there with some workhorses which will only help in the long run too.

Meh. She's only been wrestling 2 years.
My litmus test for someone that inexperienced is basically:
1. Can you work a match without hurting yourself or your opponent?
2. Do you have presence in the ring?
She get's a "yes" to both of those, from my standpoint. Give her time, let her grow as a performer.

She's green.
But she is going to be a star. With her build and charisma out the box, and having had a match to demonstrate she won't embarrass herself, she has everything she needs.

WWE passed on her in 2019. Really surprising given what they look for. Some people have been at the PC for years. If they're willing to invest that kind of time in some people, you would think they'd be willing to with her.

She's basically Bianca w/o the seasoning or actually talent right now. I always wonder though if maybe there attitude issues or things in peoples past we dont know about. I do agree though, she does seem like the WWE type, but who knows

I know it’s almost a forbidden rule to create a thread here and not to go nuts over everything and anything AEW does, This right here basically sucks all the power out of everything you said after it but I’m bored so I’ll play anyways. Girl is green as a goose shit and it showed, but plenty of time to turn it around. Way too early to say one way or the other how well she’ll do long term

And they can have multiple Bianca's just like they have a bunch of bearded dudes who all look and act exactly the same.

This is just as bad a take as the people who call all Black tag-teams the same.

Even if we indulge in the idea she's 'greener Bianca', true or not, what, they can't have another Bianca Belair? Bianca's one of the most obvious shots to stardom of any woman they have signed in years. There's no max cap on athletically gifted women just because they're black, especially given how many unbelievably interchangeable NXT UK guys are floating around.

I just remember how green Britt Baker looked in 2019, and now she's my favourite female wrestler. AEW know how to 180 people.

When you dig yourself in a hole, you usually find a way to dig out, not keep digging down.

Dig up, stupid!
Edit - Just to add to the topic, I also think she has huge potential if she's serious about this and sticks with it. She looks like an absolute star, and for her debut match she wasn't too bad at all. AEW have the perfect people and coaches to work with her, and if she continues to train and get better then I see great things for her.

I love when a thread opens on shaky ground but then veers off a cliff into a completely different kind of weirdness instead. Plot twists, baby.
