Hyan:
-Mostly wrestled for Booker T's Reality of Wrestling 2014-present
-Wrestled in the four most-viewed matches in the history of ROW's Youtube channel. One match got 32 million views.
-One WWE appearance (squashed by Nia Jax on Raw in 2016)
-2 Impact appearances 2019-2020

Laynie Luck:
-1 Impact appearance in 2019, otherwise purely an indie wrestler
-also had an extended run in ROW

Rok-C:
-Another pure indie wrestler, and again a product of ROW
-Like Hyan, she's all over their most viewed videos ever

Max the Impaler:
-1 Impact match in 2020
-Otherwise pure indies, mostly OVW

Looks like for the most part they just picked all the most popular available ROW Youtube stars for this one.

I haven't actually watched the match yet and I can't say I'm super familiar with any of these ladies so I'll reserve judgement.

Match was solid. No one looked bad. Rok-C was probably the most impressive.

Quinn said 4 “new” women. New is a vague term.

That was fun. Nothing groundbreaking - but so refreshing to see ROH Women’s division (Women Of Honor) match get some real time to play-out.

As above I thought Rok-C and Hyan were the standouts and the ones I’d like to see more of.

Rok-C is a good candidate to be paired with Sumie in the tournament. She's pretty small so Sumie shouldn't have any problems working with her like she has in recent years with the larger ladies. And with one of them being a teenager and the other near 50, the story writes itself. Sumie uses all the tricks of the trade to gain the upperhand as the younger, stronger woman works from beneath and eventually overcomes her with superior stamina and athleticism.

Andrade vs Omega at TripleMania. Interesting.

Seems like Andrade is the right person to take the AAA belt. It certainly seems like is a decent shot he shows up in ROH soon too. Will be interesting to see how all this plays out.

I guess in theory, nothing stopping ROH and AAA to work together. Don’t see it, but we may see some talent sharing.

0% chance that Omega takes a pin at Triplemania unless he has already lost the AEW title first.

When your only TV show features a 15 minute time limit draw between Dak Draper and Eli Eysom and the 6 Man Champions are never on TV, why would you expect “hot” free agents to sign here. Who wants to wrestle on TV once a month?

He's not signed with AAA. If he were he couldn't also work Federacion Wrestling. This means nothing with regard to his ROH status.

And it's not like being with AAA would limit his ROH options in the first place now that ROH isn't affiliated with CMLL anymore.

You do realize he literally said he wants to wrestle in ROH; and will likely end up in ROH. Odds are, he will wrestle for multiple companies, because he will be in high demand. Considering he's already been announced to be in LFI; Id say it's a matter of time, (next tapings) before he is in ROH.

Let's also remember that AAA just ran a PPV on four days notice and they have no idea when their next big event will actually be. They are the least professionally run major promotion in the world by a large margin. Anyone willing to work for them would find ROH to be pure class in comparison.

Anybody else would do what Omega is doing given the opportunity.

"Hey, do you want to be the world champion of three of the top 15 wrestling promotions in the entire world at the same time?"

Nobody is going to say no in that situation. It's bad for AAA and Impact in the long run but that's not Omega's problem.
