5. Nyla Rose Crushes Pink Dreams

AEW

Nyla Rose vs. Alex Gracia was exactly what it needed to be.

'The Native Beast' squashed 'The Pink Dream' in a shade over one minute, putting her out of her misery with the Beast Bomb. Quick, decisive, and pummelling, it was an effective workout for Rose - and a functional bridge for whatever is next for her.

Gracia ate a Powerbomb through a table afterwards. It's somewhat surprising that AEW used her in such a feeble role after facing Hikaru Shida on Dynamite, but she's a developing act who doesn't need to be protected at the moment.
