There's something so infectious about the positive energy Willow Nightingale brings to the ring with her. People clearly can't get enough of clapping along to her jaunty entrance track, but Willow is more than that. Her in-ring work is rugged and watertight, which is why she's poised for even better soon.

The ex-New Japan Strong Women's Champ will surely hold an AEW belt in the new year. The TBS strap seems most likely, but who knows? Nightingale might aim higher than that and come for some of the spotlight Toni Storm is enjoying.

One of the biggest compliments anyone could give Willow is that she conjures up images of mid-match. There, Nightingale is able to go from fun-loving babyface to brooding badass in the blink of an eye, and live crowds are always there for it. Come 2024, Willow should get rewarded for her hard work.

She's caught the eye of AEW fans, and deserves acclaim.
