It feels like a strange move that works on paper, but:
AEW put a lot of long-term work into her with the streak, and easing her into longer matches. She’s a star there, and can probably come back to some solid matches.
WWE probably wouldn’t let a dominant champ from their rival immediately go to the top there. If anything, she lacks the in-ring skills to be there by ability, so there’s nothing but 50/50 booking for her.
She does a lot of outside work, and enjoys time with her family. Would she get the same luxuries on a WWE schedule?
She’s been very vocal of TK’s support of her. It could be a sign she’s leaving, but it would be a huge negative to praise your former boss and go job elsewhere on a worse schedule, with your new co-workers knowing that jumping ship gives you many more benefits.
I'm not saying it's impossible but I'll believe it when I see it. Jade does a lot of stuff outside the ring that I don't know the WWE will allow her to do.
Agreed. Forget who said it but given she has excellent charisma, but not the greatest (tho improving!) ring skills, WWE style may work out better for her than the more work rate style, so she may go far.
That being said her outside-of-wrestling commitments were a big hindrance point last time so either they're loosening up on that, or the bag be big.
I could absolutely see WWE giving her the bag. And frankly, she deserves it.
I really think she's as good as anyone on AEW's roster when it comes to promoting a show. Her interviews on the Breakfast Club and elsewhere can't be topped. In my eyes, it would be a huge blow to AEW and I expect her to be a massive star once WWE gets their hands on her.
She is a great character, not phenomenal in the ring, but a presence that is unique and undeniably charismatic. WWE's NXT system would give her a leg up, they could harness that uniqueness and give her time to develop even better promo skills and because she fits their mold so much better they could possibly make her a better in-ring worker.
If true, I'd like to know why AEW let her go, Tony has money and they really need her more than WWE ever will.
True, but if Jade leaves AEW with that 60-1 record just to get squashed in WWE loads, they waste how much AEW built her up to be a future monster, and she does have a big fanbase that would happily follow her to WWE.
I could see them letting her get a streak going too just to build her up in the eyes of the WWE Universe before they start to book her against any major names, but hopefully not let it go for as long as AEW did where she ended up with her own separate feeder division because they couldn’t risk her losing.
