Nyla still has credibility, it's shocking cause you think nah but it's not unbelievable plus it buys Nyla credibility to be a permanent challenger which she needed something there to not be predictable
That ignores Jade being a bit boring as the undefeated champ

If they want to do a do-over for Nyla's title reign, this is a good way to do it. I got the impression that the original plan was for Nyla to just run through every joshi guest star they could bring in (bolstered by talk of various wrestlers like Syuri and Rika Tatsumi having gotten ready for an AEW appearance that fell through in 2020), so just turning the TBS title into a Nyla showcase against the likes of Miyu Yamashita and Ryo Mizunami would be both a good recurring bit and great for Nyla.

Nyla being the first woman to hold both championships would be pretty cool. And Nyla is just wasted as a heel at this point. Let her fully face turn and show that great sense of humor.

Honestly, Nyla's got wins, clean wins even, on the top names in the division. Thunder Rosa, Britt Baker (heel Britt, no less), Shida, Riho, Statlander, I thiiink she's beaten Ryo, so yeah, it's basically just Jade and maybe Toni at this point she hasn't beaten at least once. Also pretty sure she's beaten Tay Conti, too, but not positive. The credibility's there, people just want to cheer her and move on to another stage in her career.

No on Ryo (only one singles match unless I forgot something), but two wins over Tay, just to bring home the point. A win over Ruby, too. She's got the wins, but there's more to credibility and momentum than having beaten people over a three year stretch. |

Momentum, yeah, I wouldn't say she has right now exactly, though I do think a face turn would pretty quickly change that. Credibility's honestly not an issue, though. There's only a handful of women's champions right now, and she's one of them. That can't be taken away from her. |

100% this. Nyla has a great personality, and a LOT of charisma, tap into it. |

Additionally, Kris is injured and they're taking their time with Hayter's inevitable turn, so they're kind of missing a niche with "strong face woman". And... much as I hate to say it, it also really stands to reason that Vickie Guerrero has Marina Shafir and can probably grab another woman or two, so that breakup feud is really easily booked. Maybe Nyla wins the title and Vickie feels she like she's lost control of her and grows resentful despite her being champion, not entirely unlike Heyman and Lesnar's first split. |

Both of the "TV titles" have an air of showcase belt to them, and on that front, I think Nyla would be a great fit for that. That's a workhorse kind of belt gimmick, and Jade hasn't super performed in that spot, but Nyla could absolutely slot in to that spot and face guest challengers, and put on good matches doing so. Jade's improved and this year long run has probably been to her benefit overall, but as a change of pace I would definitely want to pivot off to someone who can have a different run and bring the spectacle factor up a little bit, and that's Nyla.

The TBS title is in need of a lift badly. Let Nyla go out there, as a face, and show her humor and personality and kill it in the ring. The TBS title needs establishing and using a talent that is being established has done nothing for the belt.

It would be great if Nyla won it and Jade eating shit in her loss with the match only being a few seconds long to knock the smugness out of her persona

Fully agree, with Statlander hurt I think Nyla's a great choice.
You can go a bunch of different ways: if you want to use Nyla to get the TBS title into that "workhorse belt" territory she can do that, if you want to use it to shift Nyla towards being a face that works, and even if you just want to tell a story where Jade gets humbled by Nyla but then proves she can adjust her game after taking her first taste of real adversity to eventually win the belt back, that could work, too (just don't do it immediately).
Get Nyla the gold, I say.

Really just anybody beating Jade would be very welcome but Nyla's probably the best available choice.

+1 for Nyla turning, she is one of those cats that are way too funny/charismatic to be pigeonholed as a monster.

The thing is that the TBS title match will probably happen next week in Jacksonville(Jades hometown) due to Toni defending the Womens title on Rampage..

I love Nyla and I'm completely here for her having a fun face run, but I'd rather someone who hasn't had a title gets the rub from beating Jade. I wouldn't be mad at Nyla winning though.
