9 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite (30 Mar)

Ups...

9. Jade, We Have A Problem

Jade Cargill
AEW

Preceded by a short video package highlighting The Problem's recent Dark and Elevation outings, Marina Shafir was named as Jade Cargill's 30th AEW opponent last night, with 'Smart' Mark Sterling giving the TBS Champion a choice between the former UFC fighter... and Leva Bates.

An excited Bates was immediately dismissed by Cargill. Hand-picked as a pushover opponent she may have been, but Jade wanted somebody better. Thus, Sterling teed Shafir up.

While it's hard to imagine Cargill's reign ending by Shafir's hand, the former NXT wrestler has developed a cold, dangerous aura since leaving WWE. Coupled with her combat sports experience, this makes her an interesting prospect against the most magnetic up-and-coming star in wrestling.

Quality-wise, this match is tough to gauge - but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
