AEW: Ranking Every 2020 Signing's Run From Best To Worst
17. Tay Conti
It looked like Taynara Melo de Carvalho was well on her way to stardom in WWE. Taynara Conti competed in two Mae Young Classics, took part in the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34, and was even teased as a new addition to the Undisputed Era. However, WWE's budget cuts deemed Conti surplus to requirement and she was let go from company in 2020.
Her national exposure and real-life ju-jitsu and judo training meant that Conti was hot property, and the Brazilian was soon snapped up by AEW. Dropping the "nara" from from her WWE name, Tay Conti took part in the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament, losing to eventually winners Ivelisse and Diamante in the semi-finals.
With just eight matches under her belt in AEW, there's still a long way to go for Conti. Her association with the Dark Order has yet to blossom into anything major, but it will definitely be something to keep an eye on next year.
A star in the making if used correctly, Tay Conti has bounced back strong from what could have been a really horrible year for her.
