Great showing against Piper tonight. Sold a lot of offence. The Jaded was great. And she can work well with bigger opponents.
On to the next with Nia Jax.

Easily her best match tonight IMO. I was surprised, pleasantly so, that Piper got as much in as she did and it wasn't just a 2 minute match.

We called her The Joshi Eater. She appears whenever the Joshi population grows too large.
The only way to defeat her is if someone on FAN goes on a pilgrimage to obtain the Final Summoning, Rhea Ripley.
Praise be to Yevon.

She just looks a lot more confident around similar sized opponents. Like with some smaller opponents she was against with in aew, it seemed she was scared of hurting them which made her offense look weak.

She seems to work well with wrestlers who are nearly her equal in size. I thought she did well tonight, selling Piper's moves, and it was a good 'lady hoss' fight. Her best match in AEW was against Kris Statlander, so I figured Piper would be a good opponent. |

Like with some smaller opponents she was against with in aew, it seemed she was scared of hurting them which made her offense look weak. Not just similar size but also similar offence. She doesn't have to worrie about basing for someone like piper which means no real complicated sequences and looks like WWE realized what is gonna work for her because they pretty much are putting her against the bigger/taller women. And it largely IMO explains the draft choices for the most part...all the bigger/taller women are on SD and the smaller/quicker more workhorse women are on Raw. |

I liked seeing Cargill show adversity against Niven last night. It made Niven look more fearsome.

Good match. I think Piper's really good and underused anyway, so, I'd like it if this also got some shine on her.
But yeah, they worked well together.

Well.....
That was a match on Smackdown. I guess long term we have a Nia vs. Jade feud.
That Piper match compared to this week, made her look so much better.

On the one hand, Jade vs Nia didn't actually happen
On the other, absolute worst finish to "protect" Jade and have Nia go to the damn semifinals of the Smackdown bracket
Really haven't liked Jade's booking much so far, they still seem scared to have her... well work.

To be fair, Jade/Bianca can happen later down the line after Bianca eventually returns from her inevitable break. That said, yeah, this was NOT the way to do that. Have Tiffany beat Bianca and Jade beat Nia and do that instead. |

They really should have let Tiffany beat Bianca via the injury angle. Then let Jade beat Nia. Even the fans in the building hated the DQ finish. Fox had to scramble to try and censor the “Bullshit chants.”

I just didn’t expect them to make Jade look like a total dumbass in the process |
