To be fair, I think they didn't present her the best way they could have. They downplayed her strengths at times, like not focusing on her martial arts background enough, so I think it's fair to say that she could've been used slightly better in NXT.

At the same time, you're not even slightly wrong - NXT's women division is insane and the gap between it and AEW's divison is almost as large as the one between AEW's tag team division and literally any other division.

Even used at her best, I don't think she could've competed with NXT's top at the time...but I think that she'll have an excellent time growing in AEW and honestly I'm liking her more and more with every match she's there.
