Despite not always receiving the most prominent booking, WWE’s women’s roster remains undeniably talented. On Raw, the company boasts performers like Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, Becky Lynch, and Iyo Sky, while SmackDown features standouts such as Chelsea Green, Jade Cargill, and Tiffany Stratton. However, several wrestlers possess exceptional ability yet remain underutilized. Fans have expressed frustration that Triple H has done little with Jordynne Grace and Giulia, and another such talent is Ivy Nile. Casual viewers could be forgiven for barely noticing her presence. According to emerging reports, that may be about to change significantly.
- Nile was the first female winner of Titan Games.
- She signed with NXT in 2020.
- She has been used in tag teams and lost a big singles match against Rhea Ripley.
Before entering professional wrestling, Ivy Nile gained recognition through Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Titan Games television program, where she became the first female champion. She demonstrated exceptional athletic ability, complemented by a background that includes a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Such credentials naturally attracted interest from major wrestling promotions, and in 2020, WWE signed her to a contract, leading to her debut in NXT. Although she competed in several matches and showcased her in-ring capabilities, Nile frequently found herself in the background of the Diamond Mine faction.
The pattern continued when Nile transitioned to Raw, where she served primarily as a manager for the Creed Brothers while occasionally competing in tag team matches. Her first singles match came against Rhea Ripley, resulting in a loss. Since then, her opportunities have diminished further. Despite possessing distinctive talent and a unique presence, it has been many months since she last competed on Raw. This prolonged absence might suggest she could be among the next round of talent releases. However, if new reports prove accurate, her wrestling career is poised for a significant positive transformation.
Ivy Nile Has Spent Her WWE Career With Diamond Mine and the Creed Brothers
- American Made recently competed in AAA and just returned to NXT.
- Ivy Nile hasn’t had a match on Raw in many months.
- Fightful Select reported that her contract expires in the fall.
The Creed Brothers, now known as American Made, made a strong impression during their initial appearances on Raw before departing and competing in AAA until recently returning to NXT. Ivy Nile did not accompany them, which could indicate she is preparing to leave WWE, or alternatively, that her career with the company is about to experience a major breakthrough.
According to Fightful Select:
“Sean Ross Sapp spoke with creative sources within WWE that claimed that there have been plans for Ivy Nile being developed for quite a while that would see a big change for her. However, there were some other notes of interest.
“Sources indicated to Fightful that Ivy Nile’s WWE contract is set to expire this fall. We’ve not learned if a new deal has been reached or even offered. However, there were creative plans for her being discussed in recent months that would indicate WWE would want to retain her.”
After Being Absent From Raw for Months, Ivy Nile Could Be Getting a Push
- Nile should have been given a push a long time ago.
- She is small, but her MMA background makes her intimidating.
- The WWE women’s division needs to be shaken up with new stars.
Learning that WWE has been developing plans for a significant change for Ivy Nile comes as somewhat of a surprise. What have they been waiting for? She should have received a push years ago. In WWE, however, pushes come and go, and underutilized talent often find themselves waiting for their opportunity. That time needs to be now for Ivy.
Nile possesses a compelling character when given the chance to showcase it. Standing at just 5’3″, she appears approachable and soft-spoken during interviews. Yet when her expression hardens, her relatively small stature vanishes, and she becomes genuinely intimidating. Nile may never be among the most polished speakers on the microphone, but she does not need to be. She brings an authentic aura from her real-life background. Physically, she is a specimen of lean muscle, and with her MMA training, she could compete with anyone on the women’s roster, and possibly many on the men’s as well. In an era of formulaic gimmicks, Nile stands apart as something genuinely different. She could effectively portray either a menacing villain or a sympathetic hero overcoming the odds.
WWE is working to generate renewed interest following a below-standard SummerSlam season. Both Raw and SmackDown are improving on the men’s side, but the women’s division requires substantial attention as well. This means developing new stars and allowing them to discover how far they can go. The company must offer Nile a contract and push her with this anticipated “big change.” She possesses the skills to make a meaningful impact in a division hungry for fresh energy. If she re-signs with WWE, everyone should get out of Ivy Nile’s way.
