Ruby hasn't looked that great since her injury. There could be a lot of reasons for that but I'd like to see her work a few matches before giving her a full time contract if I'm AEW. I think out of all the WWE releases, I'd go hardest for Chelsea Green. Her work is decent enough and she has so much flexibility in terms of her character. I think they could really do a lot with her. I LOVE Chelsea Green, she's close with Britt Baker, and I think she would be great, but I feel what she did to Impact, and just the way she acted in appearances after her release, might give them pause. I always believed she was one of the females that WWE signed so they wouldn't sign with AEW, and I wonder how close she was to signing before Dynamite started. I don't have any facts, but I just remember some chatter back then that made me think she would work for Impact or ROH when she was released. I don't even know if Impact would give her a chance, but they probably will on a per appearance thing. She's not getting the title, that's for sure.

I could see her working elsewhere first but I think if AEW wants her, they can get her.

I don't see AEW hiring 4 women from WWE in one round. It will look bad to have 4 like that, and the chatter about them hiring so many would outweigh any of their hires. I WANT badly for the Iiconics to come in, I think Lana should explore modeling and movies, and I think Lovelace should do some Impact or ROH work. It wont be in one round anyway. IIconics and Chelsea are up in July and Ruby/Lana are up in Late August At this point hiring talented workers needs to outweigh trolls who think they're just "Signing WWE people" which they haven't done in large amounts this entire time. They sign who can be an asset and work well for the company. I don't see how they pass on The IIconics since they want people who are good on the stick as evidenced by Baker.

I originally thought Riott could have gone to Impact, but it appears that she and Jake Something must have broken off their engagement a while ago, so AEW may be the destination since Riott is close friends with Ryan Nemeth.
Drew McIntyre and Taryn Terrell did work in Impact at the same time after their divorce, but I remember that being short-lived.

Honestly, if every major and semi-major pro wrestling promotion in North America doesn't get in a bidding war over Heidi Lovelace there is zero justice in the world. She's one the most mistreated and underutilized WWE wrestlers this side of Brodie Lee.

I will say that it seems like a lot of wrestlers have friends in a bunch of different companies. There are a ton of couples where the partners work in different companies. It obviously helps to have connections but I think wrestlers will go wherever the money and the creative seems best for them. This is especially true these days I think where you're unlikely to be on the road working for more than 1-2 days a week. You can work away from your partner or friends and still spend plenty of time with them. Doesn't mean someone won't follow their friends or loved ones but I think it often ends up being a small part of the equation.

Honestly, with ROH making a big play for as many of the top indy names as they have been, AEW should ignore any kind of "ex-WWE/pulling a TNA" stigma and just go for the quality free agents that they can get. If AEW were going to make a play for Holidead, La Rosa Negra, LuFisto, Allie Kat, or Solo Darling, they probably would have already; meaning that the best choices available to them are the WWE releases.

Yeah, wouldn't be shocked if she was gone a couple of weeks, especially since her immune system is more compromised than most. They can spare not using her until it has fully kicked in.

I spoke too soon, she will be at ringside
From a logic standpoint it should be Allie vs Swole but its understandable Velvet replacing Swole due to the latter still dealing with the effects of the J J vaccine

This is the sort of thing that's been really needed - Elevation build leading to stuff on Dynamite. Throw in a quick recap video of Allie beating KiLynn and Swole, and this at least serves the purpose of making the webshows feel less off in the distance.

Lana's tweet about congratulating Miro on his TNT title win (jokingly after her release) got a lot of likes. I didn't want her at all in AEW because she's not the best worker, and people would be so hypercritical of her, I feel she wouldn't get the chance anyone deserves to prove themselves. That aside, how interesting would it be if she came in and started a tag team with Penelope Ford, with poor Kip not knowing what to do about the whole thing. People didn't like Miro and Kip together, but eventually, Kip will be back and the wrist injury will have to be addressed. Miro is super over, so I don't know if it would matter if he did a "I have forgive you, our wives are tagging, but we should have a match and I will kill you" thing. And eventually there might be a Women's Tag Team Title, and Lana and Penelope are both not amazing workers, but passable as a tag team in a division, and could do a "model looks" thing since both looks like models. Not a Beautiful People gimmick, but just like, hey we're really good looking.
I would prefer the Iiconics if they sign anyone from WWE. But just thought if Miro really wanted her in the company, this would be entertaining. I just don't know if Lana is a good enough worker, but she tries really hard.

Lana with Miro, IIconics, Chelsea Green, and Ruby Riott are all legitimate options for AEW and no one should be hypercritical if they work.

Glad to see Red Velvet, I've become a fan of hers.
Ready for the reign of DMD to finally begin. Talk about improving and stepping up your game over time.
