Good signing for both parties. I hope she's able to spend some time in NXT before the main roster.
In retrospect, was giving Jade the "Goldberg" treatment worth it for AEW?

I think it was. Statlander pinning her was huge in a way it never would have been if she wasn't undefeated, and in the meantime, she was a solid attraction for them and really established the TBS title as something meaningful.
Very good point. And kudos to Jade for putting her over on exit (and putting on a show too. That match was solid).
Good for her, get that bag.
I hope she knocks it out of the park. Does WWE often announce a signing before they show up?
In the era of NXT, it's fairly common. They had a press conference when Asuka joined, and posted an article when Andrade signed.
Thanks for that info! I started watching that era of NXT a bit later, so I missed that. Between a press conference and that awesome first appearance of Asuka, they really knew they had someone important, huh.
So long as they don't rush her to the main roster I think this has potential, she needs to learn how to work that WWE style because I think it just fits her.
I mean, she basically already does work WWE style anyway. She just needs a little more polish.
Working with people with a similar style is helpful, it's why you usually wouldn't put a Rey Mysterio in with a Big Show, it works sometimes but you wouldn't want to see it a lot. I think she still has a bit of learning she can do and I just think being in the WWE system working with others that do WWE's paint-by-numbers style is better for her for now.
Well that's a bummer. I'll miss watching her stomp people.
Same, man. I'll probably check out her initial stuff in WWE just to see how they package her.
Same here. I liked her stuff in AEW.
