Latest comments of the CAGEMATCH inmatesReiEscobar wrote on 18.12.2025:[5.0] "The first ever trans women to become a World Champion, it was quite great. Sadly, she became more of a backstage helper than a wrestler, I kinda enjoyed her. Don't know why she did that choice, but okay, I support her."JonahBlack wrote on 21.11.2025:[6.0] "The unfortunate fact is that Nyla isn't as entertaining as Harley Cameron, as strong as Megan Bayne, or as Dynamic as Willow Nightingale. Like many of the performers in the first few years of AEW, I'm afraid the promotion has passed her by."maven lover wrote on 12.11.2025:[5.0] "Hard agree on the "We have Awesome Kong at home" thing. She just doesn't move as well as Kong, she doesn't emote as well as Kong, her moveset/style is similar to Kong, it's just really a weird position to be in, kind of like a Parker Boudreaux, who's a decent enough worker but just doesn't shine at the level of the person he resembles, Brock Lesnar (I like Parker Boudreaux more than most people & if that means everyone is looking at me weird now then fine that's cool whatever). Perhaps most importantly of all, the way she's been booked in AEW is just criminal. Darks, Elevations, ROH, dark-matches, you'd think that Khan would prioritize at least giving her a bit of a rub & giving her time to really get out on their flagship show & shoot promos & be a menacing presence, but I mean, I guess... not? ..."Rassle Fan wrote on 29.04.2025:[7.0] "Nyla was a very important part of the AEW women's division in the early days. It's a shame she was never allowed to be more like herself on social media. She's quite hilarious and if given the green light, may have been able to really get over as a babyface. I think Nyla plays to her strengths very well but unfortunately never quite reached the next level."jsborts wrote on 19.09.2024:[7.0] "Good hand, plays a monster relatively well, has a decent moveset, can actually work on mic, and has a good presence to her. Not a technician by any means or one of the best monsters of all time, but her shit works and she's a good hand in a promotion for sure."Vanstyler wrote on 22.05.2024:[3.0] "To me, Nyla was always like a dollar store Awesome Kong. The crowd was never interested in her because she never had anything new to offer the sport. It's a shame that she never took off properly because you can see that she's a good person and never hurts her opponents, but her performance falls pretty short"danzitorock wrote on 19.12.2023:[5.0] "A solid female powerhouse, it doesn't enchant at all but it also delivers enough for what is proposed. She has an important character for any company."BigDave123 wrote on 13.07.2023:[1.0] "Doesn't do it for me, clunky and slow in the ring, can't cut good promos and in general can't have a good match. Don't see the appeal and seems like her having a funny personality on twitter gives her extra points in the ring because she can't work."crs285 wrote on 26.06.2023:[6.0] "Nyla is a solid powerhouse in the ring. She has good power moves but is not always the smoothest in the ring. Her promos are not good and need work. She has a great gimmick and gets good reactions from her character work"SoaKas wrote on 23.06.2023:[5.0] "Refreshing to see a believable female powerhouse but she's sometimes too sloppy for my taste. She hasn't had the big spotlight in AEW for quite some time but maybe combine that with a gimmick change and you could possibly push her."Daigotsu wrote on 15.01.2023:[6.0] "Nyla Rose is kind of feast or famine. She's had fantastic matches with Riho and Shida. But everything else has been either pretty mediocre, or a waste of time squash match. Her title reign was kind of wasted since they didn't do anything with her after she won it. Also dragged down by Vickie Guerrero, who is much less charismatic than Nyla Rose. But in the end, I've seen Nyla Rose have excellent matches, so I feel like she's been the victim of bad booking. Over the last year she's been able to show a lot more of her charisma, and it's clear that Nyla is a lot of fun."Bullshark1 wrote on 12.01.2023:[8.0] "Nyla has always been one of my favorite members of AEW's women's division, and it's not hard to see why. She's a great performer, and has a great gimmick as a monster. Where she lacks in her promo skills, Vickie Guerrero lifts her up. Recently, however, she's been paired with Marina Shafir, which has been kinda cringey, as Marina isn't really on Nyla's level. Rose deserved that AEW Women's Title reign she got, and really deserves another when Tony Khan decides to book her again."VitorRomeu100 wrote on 25.11.2022:[6.0] "He was better at the beginning of his career in AEW. Now she is simply a fighter who participates in Dark and is sometimes randomly thrown in to fight the big names. Unfortunately booking was not fair to her."TeamCanadaTwoPointOh wrote on 03.10.2022:[9.0] "Turn her face, please! Her Twitter is witty and funny, but it translates to TV: who can forget "joke's on you bitch, I LOVE cake! " Also, she's legit; she worked and trained in Japan and is a former AEW champ, but this was all as the monster. She's got a babyface run just waiting to happen."zags7000 wrote on 12.05.2022:[5.0] "Solid monster heel that can put on a good match when paired with the right opponent. Overall, she's good but not great. Her mic work is something lacking though she does have some charisma. She clearly needs a mouthpiece and I think Vicki serves a solid choice. Her twitter persona is fantastic though and certainly worth a follow. She shows great personality there but in the ring she can struggle. Still, she's a solid heel though I think it would be fun to see how she performs as a face as well."Ojete wrote on 04.05.2022:[6.0] "Nyla Rose is fantastic on Twitter. She displays great humor and a gift for being witty. However, her beast character seems flat and cheap to me. Without having a bad arsenal of movements, perhaps because of her feuds, I have never been able to believe her as a powerful powerhouse. I also think her pairing with Vickie is unnecessary because the heat gets diluted. Because of her age, it will be difficult to see her character change, but I would like her to abandon the current gimmick and even try being a babyface for a while to see what she can do. I hope she has a long career and raises the grade I've given her in a few months."JTI wrote on 29.04.2022:[8.0] "If you put Nyla Rose in your all-time top 5 list of best big-woman wrestlers, I wouldn't argue with you. She's not quite at the level of Bull Nakano, Aja Kong, or Awesome Kong, but she's getting there, slowly but surely. Nyla seems to have great chemistry with almost everyone she works with, and does a great job of looking like a (pardon the pun) beast while also making her opponents look strong at the same time. She's also got great agility for someone her size, and her top-rope diving knee drop finisher is something to behold. Unfortunately for her she's in AEW's women's division, which means she's been mostly booked poorly since debuting. Her generic "Native Beast" gimmick just doesn't jive with her personality or her mannerisms, and after her initial championship run she's really just done nothing of note except for being paired with Vickie Guerrero and randomly earning and then losing the occasional title match. But again, and I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in the face, Tony Khan simply does not know how to book female wrestlers, full stop, so you can't really place any of her lack of momentum on her. Hopefully AEW gets their shit together with the division at some point and they can use Nyla to her full potential. Or maybe she can just peace out to Impact where women's wrestling actually matters."arrancar wrote on 27.02.2022:[5.0] "She's definitely clumsy and occasionally amateurish, but Nyla is also one of the few in the AEW Women's division who looks like a genuine threat and not just an athlete who just so happened to fall into wrestling like others in the company. She has her character work down pretty solidly to get over the idea of her being a powerhouse monster. Her promos are still pretty generic, but everything leading up to when she gets on the mic is really good. She just has that compelling look and aura about her. If she can become smoother and really direct her style towards being even more overwhelmingly powerful (without leading into dangerous territory) then she could actually become a top star in the company. She looked set to be the "ace heel" of AEW when the company first started, but she rather quickly fell out of favour after her first title reign. She still gets a push every now and then, but not to the point that she feels anywhere near as important or as serious of a threat as she felt in the first 6 months of Dynamite. I'm hoping she somehow develops into another Aja Kong bruiser/monster who destroys her opponents, since she could really add some colour to the AEW Women's division that way. For now, she still had a lot of work to do, plus probably a lot of waiting to do before her time comes round again."VosBoss wrote on 01.02.2022:[8.0] "Nyla is very charismatic and plays the monster role well (though her booking doesn't do anything to back it up). There is a huge face run waiting ahead for her and I hope it's capitalized on."zacharymahabir wrote on 29.01.2022:[9.0] "Nyla has an incredible presence and is one of the best in the world right now, she ticks all the boxes you want in a BEAST. The way she walks, the way she TALKS (not enough credit is given to her for being a concise and energetic promo) and especially the way she wrestles. A misguided current-day contemporary for her is Nia Jax, but if you go back to the originator, Awesome Kong, you can see a bit of the influence and the flattery is not lost on us. She's dope. And, finally, awesome powerbomb. Just 10/10 in that department. She'll be a 10 soon enough, just needs a larger body of work"Wolfe7 wrote on 08.01.2022:[10.0] "Nyla Rose is (and I'm not kidding) the best female wrestler in AEW. There are some other contenders, who could reach her level with a little bit improvement (Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa or Kris Statlander) but there is not someone else who has the full package yet: Great in the ring, on the mic and charismatic."LivingLegend wrote on 23.12.2021:[8.0] "Nyla Rose is a pretty decent wrestler. She's big but she still bumps her ass off to get things over and her move set is pretty unique. I really like her diving knee while her opponent is stuck in the ropes. She's a decent promo but doesn't really get to talk much because of Vickie. She doesn't have chemistry with everyone, but if herself and her opponent have chemistry the match is usually very solid. Pretty good, very underrated."flamagara wrote on 06.12.2021:[9.0] "I think Nyla is very underrated. When looking at her match history in AEW she's really is up there with having some of the best matches in the division: basically any match against a joshi wrestler, her matches with Tay Conti and Kris Statlander show she's also able to help less experience talent (Statlander being pretty decently experienced though). She's also great fun in multi-women matches. She's long overdue for a face run. Like another commenter said, she has a lot of charisma and personality that's yet to be shown."texasyosh wrote on 02.10.2021:[6.0] "Nyla has had good matches with the likes of Hikaru Shida, but her pairing with Vickie Guerrero really has not done anything for her. She had a very poorly booked AEW Women's title reign. EDIT 2021 - She's really improved a lot, I feel! She's probably had the best work of her career this year."Upgrayedd wrote on 05.09.2021:[4.0] "Decent powerhouse for the women's division, but she's boring. Just a bland chick who thinks that generic power moves are gonna get her the spotlight. I'm surprised AEW thought she'd be a suitable Women's Champion"Kung wrote on 12.08.2021:[5.0] "She's not my favorite in between the ropes, but I do respect that she's been treated like a serious threat since she started in AEW."Forerunner wrote on 01.08.2021:[7.0] "She unfortunately got the Kane-esque booking right off the bat in AEW and seems forever destined to be the monster heel who doesn't actually accomplish much. There are worse roles to have, I suppose. She's definitely got a great babyface run in her, but her size means she'll inevitably revert back to heel."ChopChopChop wrote on 17.09.2020:[4.0] "I won't get into the silly he/she debate (even though that's what everybody wants). Wrestling-wise, Nyla is just not very good. The character has no coherence (an absolute powerhouse can't have no impactful maneuver) and the lack of in-ring experience is clearly visible."stc13 wrote on 13.09.2020:[4.0] "Nyla's ability just doesn't line up with the way the character is presented. For a character who is billed as a monster powerhouse, she consistently struggled with power moves. When working with a skilled opponent, she can have a solid match."CTFB wrote on 31.08.2020:[5.0] "I would like to say that having a transgender wrestler in the women's division is an awesome thing, and that shouldn't be forgotten or ridiculed, but as for in-ring work, Nyla Rose isn't extremely special. She can have great matches, but only paired with the right opponent. Her look is good, promos are subpar but tolerable, and with some more exposure, she can reach great potential, but as of now, she's mid-tier, especially compared to the various other members of AEW's Women's division."EUJBFTY wrote on 23.07.2020:[7.0] "A solid and convincing monster heel, she can be more polished in her ring work but she does her role well."joshjackal wrote on 24.05.2020:[8.0] "Nyla Rose is an excellent powerhouse/monster heel type of performer. Based on what I've seen of her in AEW, I'd say she's good-not-great as a worker. Excellent charisma in the ring, but her promos, while perfectly fine, don't really stand out."Matt Macks wrote on 13.02.2020:[6.0] "So far, Nyla's AEW run has been pretty unimpressive, which is as much a result of AEW's women's division having had a lackluster focus as it is the result of her rather underwhelming matches so far. She is larger and more powerful than the other women in the division, but pales in comparison to Awesome Kong -- this poses a problem, as she cannot be booked as the unbeatable monster. So instead, she is booked as crazy and " extreme" , using tables and brawls to get a reaction. So far, it is not working for me, but I admit she does have potential. Let's see what the next few months have to offer. UPDATE (13. 02. 2020): She showed me something the last few weeks. Let's see if the upward trend continues."Caas wrote on 20.11.2019:[7.0] "Great potential, but given her age, I'm uncertain as to whether or not we'll ever see it. Nyla Rose, however, is awesome at what she does, I just wish that AEW would give her some more mic time, as she really can talk."VGSO wrote on 20.10.2019:[9.0] "Very underrated performer, imo. She's fast and agile for her size, though she doesn't lean into that very much, and very charismatic. Her flying knee is killer."zephyr wrote on 03.10.2019:[6.0] "She's a solid monster heel but honestly not super impressive. Decent strength, decent endurance, the right look for a power heel."KyleEnjoysWrestling wrote on 07.08.2019:[5.0] "For someone who's supposed to be AEW's beast, they've certainly done her no favors with her booking up to this point. She reminds me of Joe, in which she talks a big game, but flops when the matches happen. She played second fiddle to Awesome Kong in her debut & then had plenty of trouble against 90 pound Riho in her second match. I think she could be an asset to AEW & I think a singles match with Shida is money, but they have to establish her as a monster first & they are failing to do that."1goldcoin wrote on 05.08.2016:[6.0] "Has put on some good matches but loses more than a woman of her size should. But as most of us know normal logic and physics don't always apply to pro wrestling but what the promoters think will make the most money. At least she has had a couple of title runs and it's only been about 3 years since her career began. Giving her a 6. 0 for now but hope to see her improve." www.CAGEMATCH.net - © 2001-2025 Philip Kreikenbohm - Site Notice (German)
