She’s really good. And I have very little confidence that WWE would use her well.

They’d call her Suzy Genesis or something like that. Then having her skate to the ring on roller blades. And she’d be partners with Cora Jade in a team built around how “young and hip” they are.

I hope she doesn't, she has a really promising future and given how WWE thinks young people act? That could be nothing short of a disaster
She'd be way better off feuding with Purazzo in Impact like was teased.

If she, or anyone else, wants to go there and access the facilities, work with the trainers, get some potential exposure and get some steady money, at least for the time you're signed, good for them.
There is enough news and people who've been through it now for people to make their own decisions based on what they want.
It isn't my business to tell them they are wrong if that is the company they choose to try out and potentially sign with.
Their life, their choice.
Some here may hate the company any can't imagine wanting to be there at the moment, but to others, it is still their dream job regardless.

She is so damn good,she and Willow Nightingale are two of my favorite women wrestling today and would love to see them in the big time, Rok C has AEW written all over her I think,and let's be honest WWE would use her awfully.

If she gets hired, I hope she gets a big check. If she doesn't, it will only kind of further show that a company that let Sammy Guevara, Will Hobbs, and Ricky Starks walk doesn't really have this whole "tryout" thing down when it comes to hiring wrestlers.
That said, she certainly has a chance. For all of notion of hiring nothing but prospects that they can mold from the ground up, of which I'm sure they'll keep on grabbing, I have never thought they're done looking for workers, too, since they still need actual "matches" to happen.

She's incredibly talented and carries herself like a seasoned vet at only age 20 (though she's been training since her early teens).
Interesting to see what she does here; it's possible that their youth initiative means she could get a prominent spot on NXT pretty quickly, but I figure she could walk right in to a good deal with Impact or AEW if she wants one. Can't say for sure, obviously don't know what her personal goals are or what she has or hasn't been offered since the news of ROH's releases hit, but I have to think she's got plenty of options right now.

Some here may hate the company any can't imagine wanting to be there at the moment, but to others, it is still their dream job regardless. I think that's one thing that has to be repeated in all of these re-signing/tryout/new signee threads. These wrestlers just think differently. I always see people saying "I see no reason why anyone would go to WWE" and then there's another thread about one of these things. I mean, that's just people not being able to comprehend these wrestlers and how they think. Everyone's different. Not everybody is a WWE hater no matter what reports come out.
To Rok-C, good luck to her. Same with anyone else who signs/re-signs/is signed there. That's all we can really say about it.

I'm a huge fan of hers. Her run in the ROH Women's Tournament is the best womens storyline this entire year. I've been watching her schedule and outside of working the Impact and MLW tapings next month, no other shows have been announced, and considering she had a farewell at her home promotion. It wouldn't surprise me if they offered her a deal. She's the type of wrestler they are looking for at the moment, and having the Booker T connection he probably put in a good word for her. While I would enjoy a forbidden door type run for her, if its her goal and dream to work for WWE, I hope she's successful there. I had some doubts about Gigi Dolin being signed and now she's in one of the top acts on NXT.

This is the one time the NXT random name generator might be a positive thing. Rok-C is a terrible name. I hope she doesn't, she has a really promising future and given how WWE thinks young people act? That could be nothing short of a disaster Tell me you're not like Darby Allin and hung up on Cora Jade carrying a skateboard to the ring. She just won the main event of a PPV, is feuding with the champion and is gaining popularity by the week. Rok-C is probably looking at what her fellow 20 year old is doing and would kill for that kind of push/exposure. In AEW she'd probably spend a year losing to Penelope Ford or The Bunny in 4 minute matches on Dark. NJPW don't have a women's division. If she wants a national spotlight NXT is the easy choice for her right now.

The women who lose in four minutes on Dark aren't signed, they're in there as enhancement talent, just like the guys who lose in four minutes. I'm sure she'd get pushed on NXT, I just no faith in WWE using her well overall, since I have no faith in them using anyone well overall.

Until I see proof otherwise I’m not buying that AEW would push anyone hard whose name isn’t Britt Baker or Jade Cargill. Even if she was All Elite and fully signed Rok-C would probably spend most weeks on Dark/Elevation and would be lucky to make it onto Dynamite/Rampage once every month or two. If world class talents like Shida and Rosa can’t get consistent TV time then what hope would she have? Rok-C is also close with Kiera Hogan who was a highlight of Impact in 2020/21 but has done nothing since signing and has been intimating on Twitter that she’s unhappy with how little she’s been used so she may have friends in her ear advising her.

There really isn't many good places for women in the business to work now a days is there? In WWE they aren't going to do much with you unless you are one of the five women they've been pushing since 2016 (Charlotte, Becky, Sasha, Bayley, Alexa), in AEW they only care about Britt and Jade and when you aren't feuding with Britt you are just going to be on Dark for eternity, and then you have Impact which hardly anybody watches and I'm sure the pay isn't going to be nowhere near as good as working for the other two companies. Like if your a woman free agent there's really no good options in that there would be big reservations for working for any of them.

So you don't watch AEW, then. As someone who watches all of AEW, I don't think there's a lot of meaningful counterpoint. Yeah, AEW has other women that they've clearly invested in. It's inaccurate to say that Tay Conti, Hikaru Shida, Serena Deeb, and Nyla Rose have gotten nothing. It can technically be supported that AEW cares about every woman on their roster in some capacity. But all of them spend a lot of time in limbo, going long periods working web show matches with no angles. Even Ruby Soho has had her own angle development playing out on Elevation, with Emi Sakura exclusively in a player-coach role - both at a time when the main show has had a whole lot of two women (Ford and Bunny) in the same role of beatable heel over and over again, without mixing it up very much. And it can't be overstated that women are getting, at best, 1/6 of the screentime on Dynamite on most weeks. Kiera Hogan's statement of conflicted feelings about AEW make a lot of sense in this context. She talked about how her friends like Nyla and Swole were excited about getting to wrestle her - and if a woman wants to have two or three really good, memorable matches a year? AEW's alright for that. But it's not so alright for consistently getting screentime and having the kinds of angles that Hogan had in Impact. Rok-C is in a very advantageous position re: WWE. She's young enough, cute enough, and talented enough that she could well be the leading light when the Horsewomen are finally phased out. The biggest hurdle for her is probably getting in the door - and if she can do that, she's as likely as anyone to be set for life, because for all of WWE's issues, the gamble is worthwhile for someone who checks enough of their boxes and can work in a very WWE-ready style courtesy of Booker T training.
