I said this like 6 months ago but I dont think she actually trains hard enough. i think she only focuses on her looks and body and does training but nowhere near enough to improve. I personally think she wants the fame but she doesnt want to put in the ring work its gonna take.
oh this is true most definitely. She went to WWE because it's gonna be a stepping stone to Hollywood. I figure she'll play out the contract then she'll start going harder into Hollywood and keep WWE as a backup plan.

I can't imagine the pizza party is at any of the fancy places here so that's probably not a bad analysis. I eat BBQ a lot tho so also not special for me but I bet the talent will love it lmao

You can't buy them individually sadly tho, it's all or nothing unless they adjust it closer to show time. I'd like to just do like half of the VIP things lol

Yeah tbh, I think AEW got the most they were gonna get out of her and dodged a bullet with her leaving. She was impossible to book, was not longer improving, cost a lot and was not bringing in any ratings really. Not to say she is not "a draw" but alone, ya, she is not selling any extra tickets imo

By the way with regard to the WWE event schedule... WWE is running 8 shows in January as of now. Just the weekly TVs (no double tapings anymore now that they on Netflix and no holidays or international)

Fwiw they've booked Jade really good this year as a tag team act, if anyone doesn't think that's what she should be, then fair point. But she's been involved in some damn good matches due to whoever is producing them, they've just gotten some really good formulas working out for these women's multi team tags and everyone comes out looking good lately

I mostly just think that the initial fanfare and predictions of people when she signed have been proven incorrect. She is not a main eventer or world champion caliber right out of the gate, which a lot of people were saying (i remember some ppl saying she was even winning the rumble?). All of that is fine though, I do think midcard and tag is where she fits very well where she can be protected and made to look as good as possible while hiding her flaws

I think it's when she gets in singles that she is exposed
