5. More Willow Nightingale, Please!

Willow Nightingale is a star.

It'd be really cool to see more of her on AEW programming too, because her matches are typically better than most of the other women TK has under contract. That includes top names like Britt Baker, Saraya or Toni Storm, for the record. Nightingale shines every single time she stops by.

Being totally frank, this fan can't really say he's often interested in Emi Sakura's bouts, but this one was as solid as they come. Emi played the vicious veteran heel to the hilt, and Willow showcased some fun power-based moves to fend her off. The powerbomb finish, in particular, looked incredible.

Willow's confidence will go through the roof the longer this NJPW Strong Title reign continues. Matches as fun as this one will help there - Nightingale got to bump around a bit for Sakura, then launched into a fan-pleasing comeback for the win.
