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?

To be honest, I struggle to see how Jade would work without it. She needed time to develop, and like with HOOK, if you've got star power but need ring time without a developmental brand, squash matches are a great way to get that time in.

It'll be interesting to see how WWE use her. I'd be surprised to see her move without an immediate main roster push, but I do agree that some time in NXT would work wonders towards continuing her development.

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).
