14 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Dec 4)

10. Hey Look, A Feud!

Shanna Nyla Rose
AEW

Developing feuds outwith the immediate title scene is vital for AEW's recovering women's division and we're getting a fresh new one in Shanna vs. Nyla Rose, which kicked in last night.

Footage of Rose attacking Shanna the previous week was shown during Nyla's entrance. A nice touch to further the growing rivalry and it was followed up after Rose's win, with Shanna interrupting her post-match assault of Leva Bates, going nuts on the bigger woman before 'The Native Beast' cut her off. Shanna ended up powerbombed onto Rick Knox who himself had been put through a table during the commercial, and that was that.

Last week's Dark interview established Shanna as a believably sympathetic babyface and we already know she's a great wrestler, making her an ideal foil for the growing Rose. Good stuff all-round.
