Who is Sadie Gibbs: An All Elite Wrestling primer

FanSided takes a look at one of the more low-profile AEW signings who could end up being the dark horse of the young women’s division.

Sadie Gibbs first gained attention when she participated in her first tour of Stardom back in January of this year and her athletic ability left many fans dumbfounded. Coming to Japan with fellow UK standout Bobbi Tyler, Gibbs showcased her insane athletic prowess with moves and sequences that brought the stunned crowds to their feet.

Gibbs, a former Crossfit athlete and gymnast, has the rare distinction of being a “high flyer” which is an uncommon characteristic for a women’s wrestler to have, outside of Japan.

Her signature maneuver, a twisting Sasuke Special, gained her a lot of attention on social media with a .gif of her performing the move going viral. Her flips and aerial maneuvers are extremely clean and spot on which helps cover up some of her shortcomings in the ring due to her being so new to the sport.

Her high-flying abilities don’t outshine her strength and power maneuvers though, as her ability to lift and throw her opponents at will is an incredible sight to witness.

Gibbs has an exponential amount of promise and potential and many have likened her to a promising lump of coal that can be converted into the next big diamond with some experience and training. AEW is a perfect fit for “Amazing Grace” because she will be surrounded by experienced veterans and solid workers who can polish up Gibbs’ style and overall presence.

One of the most promising up-and-coming acts in AEW, Gibbs will be making her official AEW debut when she participates in the Casino Battle Royal at All Out on Saturday, August 31.
