Microstatistics:

One of the standout women wrestlers post-2015. She has an extensively diverse catalog of work, having worked in virtually all the main wrestling regions (Japan, USA, UK, Germany, Mexico), and hence has incorporated different stylistic elements into her arsenal. In the ring, she is generally reliable with decent fundamentals and an ability to work both serious notes as well as comedy spots.

Her current "Timeless" run is probably her most compelling, dripping with eccentricity and charm, and the Mariah May feud is likely a career best, culminating in one of the best non-Joshi women's matches in history at Wembley.

While I'm not a fan of her pre-AEW work, her Timeless run has been absolutely iconic not only character-wise, but the title defenses she had against a different set of opponents is sort of amazing. She can bleed and brawl with a green Mariah May, grapple with Deona Purrazzo in a match that would't be out of place in the 70s, or trade bombs with Thunder Rosa and Serena Deeb. None of those matches reach MOTYC level, sure, but they're all still pretty good or even great. She's still super young, so if she keeps going at this level for another ten years or so... Maybe.

Well she's had a couple of MOTYC calibre matches in the last few months now and they were totally different to each each stylistically. If Mariah May vs. Toni Storm isn't the #1 women's match to ever take place outside Japan it's probably #2.
