Nyla is the god damn best
Bring her back and pair her with Harley. I need to see that chaos!
That would be great! 🥰
Why she isn’t on TV is mind boggling.
There are so many sidelined talent in the women’s division. I don’t understand TK.
I bought the Nyla HER shirt for charity. I used to love watching her skits on BTE (or was it Sammy vlog?). Can’t wait to see her get a good push again.

Britt
Shida
Diamante
Mercedes (not that one)
Deeb
Nyla
KamileLess if I’m miscounting these are the only full time wrestling women in AEW/ROH who have not been used in greater than a month or so on either show (and I’m not even sure about Diamante on that one cause I think I saw her a couple weeks ago on ROH) or that are not currently injured/on maternity leave/out for other reasons.
3 of these women have personalities/charisma of a potato and their ceiling is the ground one grows in but 1 of them specifically has been benched (kamile), 1 has backstage heat of some sort and is definitely sidelined, 1 had long term visa issues that only got resolved a month or so ago and is probably currently waiting for a storyline to get slotted into which does take a month or three to fit around existing planning, and the other is totally sidelined since whatever state it was filed a formal complaint against AEW for having a trans woman fighting other women or since around then at least, so I wouldn’t personally say AEW has so many sidelined talent in the women’s division when it’s a tiny handful and only 2 actual important ones.
Edit: I can add Lady Frost to that list I guess, her last booking was in July and hasn’t been used a ton this year so we can say she’s ‘sidelined’ (I’d prefer to say her talents aren’t needed given the stacked roster). Rosa also has not been booked since July but she also worked 15 AEW/ROH matches this year so we can’t call her sidelined at all, she’s just been rotated out.
So realistically we have Britt, Nyla, Kamile, Lady Frost, 4 people you can call sidelined.
Yuka Sakazaki and Riho also MIA. Red velvet, Billie Starkz can be moved up from developmental. I think someone had recently come over from NXT.
AEW is also notorious for start and stop pushes. How many times has Deeb been on 1 episode of Dynamite then doesn’t show up again for months sometimes years.
Yuka has been wrestling on ROH weekly for over a month now, she’s not sidelined you just aren’t watching her. Billie isn’t in developmental, she’s an ROH regular, has been a champion and has been on AEW and ROH frequently as of late, not sidelined in the least. The nxt person you’re talking about isn’t signed to the company (and also not relevant as she’s not sidelined either given she’d wrestled 3-4 matches for ROH in the last month)
Deeb has no personality and no one gives a shit about her. She is sidelined, cause she’s never been able to actually get over since she’s the burnt toast of the company. Great wrestler, dull as fuck. Her whole gimmick is “I wrestle really good” which doesn’t cut it when those same 4 words cover 80% of the roster.
Red Velvet also not in developmental nor sidelined, she’s *just" recently returned on ROH after being out injured for most of this year and is the ROH tv champ (Mercedes is only the Interim champ).
Riho’s last match was less than 2 months ago so it’d disingenuous as fuck to even bring her into a convo about people being currently sidelined.
Sorry, I miscommunicated.
By sidelined I meant not on AEW tv and by developmental I was referring to ROH. It’s AEW’s NXT practically.
I have only been watching AEW main show and so my perspective may be incomplete.
By sidelined I meant not on AEW tv
“Sidelined” in the context you were orignally using it in (" I don’t understand TK.") is blaming TK for something within his control, for booking choices. “Not being on AEW tv” is a bad metric to define it by as there can be countless reasons for someone to not be on AEW tv outside of “TK doesn’t wanna book them”. There’s been women stuck out of country, injured, pregnant, filming tv shows, prior commitments, and none of those TK has any control over. There’s a few women who can qualify as being “sidelined” for various reasons, a bunch of the women you have named so far just plainly do not fit that category, et al (although fairly, some that you named do, just not all of em).
so my perspective may be incomplete.
It is. ROH may be (at this time, unfortunately) pay tv but it does not exist in a non-canon bubble. What happens on ROH is canon to AEW and vice versa, regardless of if you have to use an app to watch it instead of changing a channel on a television. Hell we’ve had Death Riders matches the last few weeks with wheeler and marina on ROH lol
i wanna see nyla and harley in the conglomeration already just for the interactions T_T
also nyla vs statlander would be fire
