The pop Big Swole received when she entered All Out's clunky Casino Battle Royale was an assurance that AEW fans haven't forgotten how awesome she was when actually given television time to project herself in a threadbare-feeling division.

Unfortunately, the company's memory might not be so long.

Swole's last appearance on Dynamite was all the way back on October 20th 2020, and last year's All Out was the last time she made it near pay-per-view. There, she defeated Britt Baker having helped the current Women's Champion flesh out and completely reshape the character that's made her a star. Swole, in the meantime has been placed on pause with mixed fortunes on the Dark/Dark: Elevation treadmill.

It's tough to see a way back to the front of the line in the near future, but Rampage offering at least one extra women's match a week might represent a ray of hope. That's not to say things are hopeless - Swole's real life partner Cedric Alexander had no problem admitting how jealous he was of his other half, so it definitely could be worse.
