She's been crapped on ever since she got there. She always lost matches and never had an actual feud besides Anna/Tay and that weird tag team with Brandi.
I don’t think “crapped on” really describes her AEW years. Was she going to get pushed more than Britt, Jamie, Toni, Anna Jay, Tay Melo, Shida, Ruby, Saraya, Julia, Skye, Riho, Jade Cargill, Statlander, Rosa, Willow, Serena or even her regular tag team partner Penelope Ford? Allie rarely got onto Dynamite or Collision. Some of that is blamed on the myopic booking of the women in AEW. Her wresting, or lack thereof, stood out as the women in AEW got better as more hirings were made.

It would have been great if AEW hired Chelsea Green. Her Hot Mess Laurel Ness character was a highlight of that period of Impact.

I used that word when they needed a jobber and Skye Blue wasn't around.

LA Knight was nobody two years ago. He was 38. Now, he's 40, and the biggest babyface in WWE.

Athena couldn't find a personality after 15 years of being a pro wrestler. She just had the best year of her career this year.
The best year of her career is wrestling on ROH HonorClub. Wow, how sad.
 
Knight was a guy who since 2015 got over everywhere he went. Just because he wasn't in WWE people seem to disregard that fact. It wasn't an unreasonable assumption that if they gave the guy half a chance he'd get over in WWE as well. In fact people had been saying that for YEARS.

Anyway, PERSONALITY isn't Allie's issue. Her run with Impact showed she had lots of personality. You said she needs to improve in the ring and I said that 18 years in it's not likely that she's going to drastically improve as a wrestler. That's just not how the typical athletic trajectory goes. Wherever she goes(if it's anywhere at all) she's likely going to have to rely on her other skills to reach her peak of success. Just like people aren't watching LA Knight because he puts on bangers.
The point is it's never too late. Bunny hasn't been surrounded by enough quality talent and proper presentation of women's wrestling to help her improve. She wasted the last 3 years of her life with this company (obviously not from a monetary perspective, but she has nothing to show for it as a performer) wrestling quarterly in meaningless 5 minute matches on Rampage and Dark. If she wrestles the TNA women weekly, she will improve by default.

Where the hell do you think she worked for the decade before AEW existed? Shimmer, Shine, WSU, and a better version of the TNA/Impact Knockouts division than exists now. She was working in the top Women's promotions in North America alongside many of the top women in the business.

I do not care. Now, she has a chip on her shoulder and something to prove. Mentality is everything. I think a second TNA run is likely and she will step her game up out of necessity.
 
They were but in those days anything that was a surprise was good to me not to mention they were and still are no names. Good surprises in AEW don't exist anymore.
Happens when you over-saturate the product with announcements and “surprises.”

Another AEW original appears to have departed the company, with The Bunny being removed from the roster page. No details yet, she has had mental health and injury issues, but it may just be that her contract is up.

Her husband, The Blade, teamed with The Butcher in a dark match before Dynamite yesterday so still seems to be with the company.

AEW have signed Mariah May, (reportedly) Megan Bayne, Billie Starkz, Skye Blue and Taya Valkyrie this year, with Jade Cargill, Leva Bates and now The Bunny exiting.
Anna Jay and DMD are there still there though 🥵🥵🥵
