5 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage (Jan 19 - Results & Review)

4. Better Fit For Queen Aminata

Last week, Queen Aminata worked a pretty duff encounter vs. Hikaru Shida. Time for some good news: Aminata matched up better with Kris Statlander, which meant the duo could work a nice power-based fight with good flow on Friday night. Fans responded well to what they were seeing throughout.

This is more like it for the Queen.

Ideally, AEW bosses will keep throwing Aminata out there on TV as much as possible. She's too promising to be hidden away on the largely ignored ROH shows, and she'll grow and grow into someone viewers care about the more she's featured. Again, adding in some character context would be a grand idea too.

Here's one roughly-mapped out plan for her; have Stokely Hathaway remark that Stat, Aminata and Willow Nightingale all have similar physical attributes. Then, have the manager extraordinaire piece together an all-female stable based on friendly competition and pushing one another.

Just brainstorming is all.
