Admittedly I'm not too familiar with her work pre-NXT, but she had great matches there with the likes of Asuka, then signed with AEW and became the centerpiece of Khan's ROH. She was one of the best wrestlers anywhere in the world last year; she was able to be a dominating heel, a sympathetic heel, a stooging heel, able to work straight matches, able to work plunder brawls, able to work long matches and absolutely killed it in squash matches. If she keeps up the pace she's been at, in 2026 I think her resume will undoubtedly be strong enough to merit consideration.

The idea that she just got good in AEW is not correct. Although she wasn't given the right role or push in NXT, she did have amazing moments. Also in SHIMMER, she was a beast and I've heard she had a great run in the indies outside that too. She's someone to consider.
