However, she is now more of a "little fish" in an extremely big pond.Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter stated that he would've liked to see Monroe go straight to the WWE main roster. He said:"She was a big star there. Now she's a little fish in an extremely big pond. I would have liked to have seen her go right to the main roster because she was a star in AEW. But when I'm looking at a list that I made here of AEW people who have gone to WWE, I'm wondering why they're not being utilized so well. And it's mainly because there's just too many people on the talent roster."
