Jade is getting better, definitely. I think AEW just needs to keep matches with her simple - not just because she's green, but because she's one of those wrestlers where less is always going to be more. Some wrestlers you want to see do 30-minute technical masterclasses. Others just need to come in, Hulk smash, and leave. She's the latter and is always going to be the latter, no matter how much experience she gets. The Ruby match suffered greatly from trying to do too much. The Tay/Jay matches hit the balance better.

She definitely is. Working with Bryan Danielson and Rip Rogers has been good for her. As mentioned, she has an aura and if she can show a bit more confidence in laying in stuff, she’ll be more than good to go.

Working with Danielson is going to do wonders with her in ring psychology
Hope they find someone to work with other girls like Tay, so she stops doing high risk moves for the sake of do high risk moves.

Very impressed with her, she’s coming along nicely. Two biggest compliments? She’s opening herself up more. Anytime she does this, it’s gold. I gather the sense she’s a lil self conscious in the ring but she needs to own it.
And there was a lot of “negative space” and hesitation in her in-ring work that’s starting to go away.

I wonder how long they can keep the unbeaten thing going? There are not a ton of credible women left to challenge her.
And you run the risk of her matches lacking any tension after awhile as well.

I’ve said it from day one, if her ring skills can get to even a passable level she’s got money written all over her and she’s definitely getting there

The good thing is she seems keen to improve in ways she doesn't really need to. She could get by with mostly doing standard giant spots but wants to do more.

Jade is getting more over with time
I say have her go face by having Serena take her belt
By snapping her streak
And her legs

Crowds are getting way into her, she's finding herself on the mic, and Danielson is definitely helping her find her ring legs
It's coming together, which is great for them, because she's just printed money if it pans out

She was completely the wrong choice as 1st TBS champion. - Nearly every match in her title reign her opponent outshined her, Tay, Anna, Bunny etc - She gets prefferential treatment compared to some of the other Women (Gets the Cody entrance, Gets paired up with Bryan at TKs request etc) A few of the Women have been shoved to the side for her push. Anna and Tay sacrificed during her first 2 months of her reign when they should've been built up as stars in the division. Its f***ing bullshit Some of her fans on Social media are unbearable and arrogant as f***. They're AEW equivalent of Sasha fans but at least their arrogance can be backed up by the fact that Sasha is a great wrestler and honestly she's been the most underpushed Women in the 4hw and is 0-6 ar WM and has held the title the least amount of time compared to them. Jade fans have that same arrogance and think she's the best thing since sliced bread - She's the most overpushed and overexposed female wrestler I've ever seen in comparison to her talent. It used to be Charlotte, but now it's Jade. At leadt when Charlotte won the Women's title she was at a decent level in ring. There. I needed to get that off my chest So more enjoyable to watch than the wrestling dentist then.

She is. She definitely is. I was pissed at the decision to have her go over Ruby in the TBS finals, but in hindsight, I was completely wrong. Jade is a star and is only getting better.

She is absolutely improving.
I still think someone green who is improving is absolutely not the person you put the belt on though.

I'm a fan. She's probably my favourite female wrestler ATM. Even if she's not exactly Serena Deeb, she's good enough and she backs it up with her physical appereance. Technical imperfection is WAY more forgiveable with a 6' athlete than with a skinny midget.

Jade is so far and away the biggest potential star on the roster.
Like, it’s not even close.
Like, a little.
She’s gonna fill 100,000 people into a stadium one day.

The funny thing about Jade as TBS champ is they telegraphed it from the beginning of the tournament and from what was said on Mat Men back then, TBS specifically asked for Jade as the first champ.

I hope this doesn’t turn into another super long title reign however.
That’s not even a knock on Jade personally. The Women’s Division has just had too much of that already in general.

I thought giving her the title this early was a huge misstep and she was going to absolutely flounder once she had to work longer matches, but it's been a huge surprise to see her able to scale up and work some pretty solid matches. If she's training with Danielson that makers total sense, and also makes me respect her a lot more, because at least in the past, Danielson hated training because people didn't take the training seriously enough for his very professional liking, so if he's working with her, she's probably real damn committed.
