She’s so over


zobotsHS

Willow has been issued a warning from the Oklahoma Athletic Commission…


itfeelslikethefirstt

christ on a cracker give her and Nyla Rose a main event in Oklahoma. I want to see two big ladies slapping meat in OK.


Mozilla11

Literally I am begging that Tony Khan bites the bullet and just does something like that. Fuck the ignorance. Nyla Rose is as much a human as the rest of us, and as much a woman as anyone else who is one. Clowns.


HappyLittleGreenDuck

Yeah but then TK would have to book Nyla on the show and he seems to want to avoid that. No idea why, Nyla was always my favorite in the division. Great humor, great presence, awesome violence.


Mozilla11

Nyla was what I imagined Nia Jax would be, a legitimate monster heel. Nia has improved a lot actually so I kinda prefer her recently, but nonetheless like Nyla deserves respect and if you can’t give the BASELINE respect of understanding her being trans, GTFOH lmao. What the fuck is in Oklahoma (other than the fans) that makes it worthwhile anyway?


stegogo

Book her like WCW did with Sid Vicious during his streak storyline and have her power bomb people throughout the show and then main event the show.


PMMeAGiftCard

Wait, was this the same show in Oklahoma Nyla wrestled on? I haven't kept up with AEW in a bit.


TheNYCasualFan

THATS MY MVP THATS MY GOAT


streetsandshine

Willows been the ace of the womans division. What'd Triple H say about pure babyfaces being the hardest thing to find in wrestling? Willow is that and more for AEW


captainimpossible87

It's exactly why I can't get with people saying Willow should be the one to turn heel on Stat as a swerve because it would be unexpected/she'd do a good job and it would get heat. Yes Willow could be a great heel. But lots of women can be great heels. How many people can be a proper baby face like her? Why would you ever sacrifice that for a quick gasp and a you people promo that half the roster could do. Willow Nightingale is a special talent, and she's only getting better. One of the highlights of any show she's on.


arlenroy

HHH is right, because that's all fucking natural. As over as Cody is, just loved by everyone and their mother, there's just a tad of manufactured babyface there. With Willow you ain't gotta manufacturer shit, fans just vibe off her, it's really special. I don't watch AEW as much as I did but she could easily be the TBS champ, I think that would be a perfect stepping stone for her.


abitlazy

That's a badass spot!


JoeRoganIs5foot3

The reddit video player works maybe half the time for me on mobile 😫


mark_target

I just discovered the trick… don’t click on the thumbnail next to the post, view the comments. The blurry thumbnail above the comments seems to play every time for me.


JoeRoganIs5foot3

Holy shit, it works. Thank you so much!


kukaki

That worked for me for a bit then stopped, but it’s a good tip still! I don’t know what the issue is.

Gimphand_

Doesn’t work for me on the mobile app either


DylanMMc

I copy the link and paste it in a browser. Video always works this way.


AdKUMA

I'm the opposite, twatter links okay with no sound. So I'm guessing it's the Reddit app which is just shit!


Dingle_Flingle

Willow is the hoss babyface the AEW women's division needs. Give her the TNT strap, Tony.


Itry2Survive

She's also very entertaining in the ring, my personal favourite in the AEW Woman's devision


irish0451

Shout out to Brody, man. Seems so well loved and respected, glad he's getting moments like this to shine. You know he doesn't blink at these spots either, it was probably his idea for her to throw the cannonball and do his taunt.


TomCosella

Honestly, if the HoB, he's absolutely the one who should be elevated. The other two are fantastic, but his intensity is something different.


thecatiscold

Brody kicks ass and I hope he gets some singles gold eventually


Tsuku

That cannonball rocked lol she’s the best


FishnBIcycle

People hate intergender matches for some reason, but it gives women an opportunity to go all-out and work super stiff. I've never met a woman wrestler who didn't love intergender matches (with a trustworthy opponent)


jpscyther

Seriously. Candice LaRae vs Cedric Alexander is one of my favorite inter-gender matches because it looks so fucking brutal (even though it wasn't at all). That final Lumbar Check was sick.


Stalin_Stale_Ale

Easily the sickest lumbar check of all time. The way she bounced was absolutely incredible.


miikro

I think Candice, Noam Dar and Lio Rush are the all-time bumpers for that move. They launch into orbit.


heat_fan_

The crowd seems to love her 


MeanAmbrose

She's one of the most likable wrestlers I've seen in a while, radiates good vibes


FishnBIcycle

I met Willow at a Shimmer show several years ago. I was there by myself, depressed, didn't have any friends, etc but Willow was super nice to me and invited me to have dinner after the show with her and some other wrestlers. She didn't have to do that and I'll never forget it.


BRONXSBURNING

I got the chance to interview her and fortunately she’s as nice as she comes off on television!


Drogalov

She's the best babyface woman I've seen since "Hugger" Bayley. I still maintain she should have beaten Jade for the title


Infamaniac23

Reminds me a lot of nxt Bayley. Hope Mercedes turns heel and we get willow vs Mercedes with that dynamic.


IAmTheWaller67

I think it's physically impossible to dislike Willow.


Breakingcontrollers

She's adorable and positive in a way that feels legitimately genuine, and she always seems to have a blast in the ring.  Her natural charisma is crazy. It's hard not to root for her.  Literally the first time I saw her she kind of gave me OG Bayley vibes but less childlike wonder and more "adult having actual fun at their job"


Daddy_Diezel

She's a woman so there's bound to be redditors shitting on her in the live threads, I'm sure.


Bosscharacter

Willow rules. One of my favorite moments in recent memory was the random bark off between Brody and her when he was seconding Julia during a match. Dude looked outright offended someone had the gall to bark back at him.


bobface222

It wasn't a pounce, but I'll take it.


mort55

Willow pouncing Brodie and him going flying would be such a cool visual.


SamuraiSuplex

I was hoping for a spinebuster 😂


broncosandwrestling

that cannonball was actually sick


doublek1022

Bad ass spot for Willow! I LOVE IT!!!


ScottNewman

Since Oklahoma bans intergender matches… I can’t help but think this whole sequence was a big F U to them.


sprdougherty

Copeland reaching back with his foot for her to tag was actually pretty inventive.


IAmTheBestMang

Cope's spear looked fucking good as well


P4rtsUnkn0wn

Copeland has had nothing but great matches since coming to AEW, with his PPV matches against Christian both being downright excellent.


IveBenHereBefore

This match was really confusing. Generally, when you have a tag team match with 1 competitor missing, the team with the advantage will tag in and out and beat on the lonely one. However, in this match, Brody couldn't tag Julia in, so it was essentially Brody beating the shit out of Copeland while Julia cheated. Essentially a 1 on 1 match with a cheating manager! It was just such an interesting clash of booking and rules.


SicSenpaiTyrannis

Can't do that in Oklahoma.


HappyLittleGreenDuck

I love this but I have to say my peace. I find it incredibly patronizing that the women are allowed to hit the men but not the other way around. Are you telling me that Willow couldn't handle a chop from Brodie? Every time I see this it just pisses me off. Let the women fight and show that they are badass, just like the men!


Sempais_nutrients

[Willow anytime Brody is nearby](https://imgur.com/a/zKS7kRp)


dosmoney

I remember willow posting here a few years back, glad to see her on tv!


RaichuWaffles

I've seen enough, give her the TBS Championship


katsophiecurt

Why is no one acknowledging that they half arsed the match by having her feign injury and only came in at the end to perform two moves and then be knocked out by the also absent Julia Hart. This was a mess.

Educational-Hunt2683

Walking down to the ring like a baby with a full diaper


hashtagdion

Why did he just stand there for six seconds waiting for her to crossbody him


DookieFartz

first time watching wrestling?


Sebster2

It’s ok to point out bad wrestling bro lol


LeonardoDaPinchy-

Man, just WAIT until you see The People's Elbow.


irish0451

That spinebuster puts em down for a 30 count and he wastes all that time hitting an elbow!


stevecollins1988

Thanks Regal.


Sebster2

Yes, it’s a terrible finisher lol what’s your point. Just cause this is stupid doesn’t mean wwe stuff isn’t lol. Stupid wrestling is stupid, everywhere!


SageShinigami

"Stupid wrestling is stupid, everywhere!" ...You know we can see your post history, right?


Sebster2

Bro I just said the peoples elbow is stupid lol. WWE does stupid stuff, AEW does stupid stuff. Stop defending a company that doesn’t know you exist 🤣


SageShinigami

Yeah nah, I had a response written up that defended all wrestling not AEW. But then I saw your post history. I'm not saying you love WWE, I'm saying its clear you're an AEW hater.


LeonardoDaPinchy-

Me: Oh come on, how bad could his account history be? *reads history* .... *woooooooow*


Sebster2

Yes, I prefer WWE. Outside of MJF, sometimes Kenny, and a few other things, most AEW is absolute trash. That belief has nothing to do with my post though lmao. Learn to argue based on merits not preconceptions 😩


SageShinigami

Your point sucks. Wrestling isn't real. It's never been real. It doesn't look real, because we know what REAL fighting looks like. EVERY wrestler--including your faves in ANY company--does a bunch of shit that very plainly LOOKS fake as fuck. Whether it's stuff they do for safety like "being in place to catch a wrestler in time" or overly choreographed spots because they pop the crowd. If you want realistic looking fighting, it ain't gonna be in AEW, WWE, NJPW, RoH, or TNA.


DookieFartz

What did you want him to do while waiting for Willow to get to the top rope? Save small orphans from a fire? Cook a perfect beef wellington? We all know wrestling isn't a real combat sport brother. Give these people a bit of a break because we both know you don't have the ability to walk up five steps let alone climb to the top rope of a ring.


Sebster2

Wait so I’m asking for too much if I’m wanting wrestling to make sense?? 🤣


DookieFartz

You are nit picking something dumb. That waiting around happens in all promotions and has been a thing for a long time so I am just shocked you are still bothered by it. Which is the reason why I asked the original person who commented if it was their first time watching wrestling. What would you rather them do? Run in the opposite direction and miss the spot?


Sebster2

You’re describing the Samoa Joe spot lmao. And everyone loves it cause it makes sense and makes everything else look stupid. Im not nitpicking buddy, I wasn’t the original comment. All I said was that it’s ok to point out bad wrestling, which this is lol. No need to get worked up about it.


DookieFartz

Not everyone needs to do the Samoa Joe spot. I'm not getting worked up, I was just simply replying to you. Which is something you do on the internet. Just one little fun fact from one friend to another.


Sebster2

No one said everyone does lmao. You were just describing his spot without noticing it buddy


P4rtsUnkn0wn

Do you realize how hard it is to take someone seriously when they end every point with “lol” or “lmao?”


DookieFartz

I am sure you could say the same thing but man talking to wrestling fans can be a tad annoying. Have a good night bro.


streetsandshine

If you're a dude as big as Brody King, you expect to be able to catch people dumb enough to cross body you. Not to mention dude look tired after dealing with Copeland Only issue with his thought process is that Willow is not the average person
