[7.0] "Zayda Steel has so much potential. Yes, she's still a bit green at times but she comes out as someone who has the it factor to me. Her matches and promos are just fine and it's only going to get better for her."
[7.0] "What an absolute shame WWE wasted her and didn't sign her to an NXT deal. Her character work and mic skill were very good. And she would've only improved at the PC. She was one of the standouts of Evolve with Kendall and Kali. AEW just got a little spitfire of a gem."
[7.0] "Zayda Steel is still early in her career, but she's already showing real upside. Her presence and confidence stand out, and she has a strong look for TV wrestling. She's definitely improved since 2022 -- her timing, strikes, and character work are getting sharper. She's not fully polished yet, but at 22 with a few more years of development, she could become a legit breakout star. Solid prospect with clear potential."
[9.0] "I can see why she was the first WWE ID contractor. Zayda Steel can work in traditional matches and intergender matches very well. She carries herself with impactful moves and charisma. The look is also there for sure! Before getting signed she already looked like a superstar. I wonder why she didn't want to move forward with the ID program."
[9.0] "very charismatic woman in the indies. i'm not sure she's a good wrestler at first until she appeared on evolve. she still has a lot potiential when she becomes the next evolve or the first wwe id women's champion."
[7.0] "She's got boat loads of presence and is more polished than her age (and in ring experience) would suggest. But a tour of duty in Marigold must have been like a masterclass in wrestling. And she was part of Giulia's gauntlet match exit before WWE. It was not long but it was a epic level rub. Then, a girl like that shows up in GCW! because she wants to work harder and will get dirty to get it. I like that. Reminds me of a mix of Chelsea Green and Alexa Bliss. She's 21, polished look, has presence. Is funny. Has heart. Book her."
[6.0] "Zayda Steel is a very athletic, and definitely has a bright future. Shows a great understanding and good in-ring ability, in a very short time. While I think her current rating (6.6) is fair, if not a tad bit high at this point, and I usually don't like making comparisons... The idea that her rating is higher than a lot of very good wrestlers with full and successful careers (Example: Her rating is a full 2 points higher Alicia Fox), really highlights a glaring issue in the Cagematch Rating System. I love the idea of the community deciding each wrestler's rating, but... There has to be something we can do to ensure our ratings are consistent and meaningful."
[6.0] "Incredibly young competitor, she is good in the ring but she definitely has room to improve even more and get on the level of the WWE women's division. She plays her character well and has good matches when she is given a more veteran opponent. Still learning but one of the biggest developmental prospects in wrestling right now."
[6.0] "Zayda has a lot riding on her being the 1st WWE ID Prospect, Traveling in Japan for Marigold & other notable promotion. She's got charisma and experience that helps her look passible yet I gotta see more of her matches and importantly her character's dimension aside from cocky rich girl. Though, I'm hoping she's can move to NXT to get more opportunity."
[7.0] "I for sure need to see more matches but she looks solid. she reminds me of Chelsea green and Tiffany Stratton mixed into one wrestler. she has great confidence and moves around the ring like shes been doing it since she was in diapers. I haven't seen her do the most moves but shes also a heel and doesnt need to do crazy shit. shes been fine dong what shes doing as she has great ring presence. future is for sure bright with her and I get why she is a wwe ID prospect"
[6.0] "She's definitely better than Myla Grace and she should be on a major company next. NXT would be good for her. Good charisma, great character work, solid in ring."
[8.0] "One of the most pleasant surprises to have at Marigold. She arrived looking like she had more than 5 years of experience, without nervousness, without anything that would make the public think she only had one year of experience and was only 20 years old. Super confident, convinced of her character, her movements and how to hold the audience's attention. I would like to see her in an American company in the future. It would definitely work."
[10.0] "This girl is going to be a star she has everything charisma, good character work and is getting better and better in the ring and with the experience she is getting in Japan and as good as she has looked while she has been there at 20 it's just amazing. She has star written all over her."
[7.0] "Zayda is nowhere near as great as she's going to become...She's only about a year into the business as this is typed(& very young at 20 yrs of age). First spotted her between MLW & Dreamwave & she was an absolute standout. Her character work is very good and she's a star, she's gorgeous. I enjoy her style & her matches in Marigold. Id like to see her get a little tougher, a little rougher & lay it in like the joshi. Her work is very good but I'd like to see her hit a little harder, make more impact. Zayda's very adept as a singles wrestler & I feel like she'll have great success in a semi-regular tag situation with a partner with a contrasting look & style from her own. I hope she'll remain & learn in Marigold for a good long while but if she should return to the states, I'd be shocked if the bigger companies didn't offer her an exclusive deal, Zayda is someone worth investing in big time."
[8.0] "First official rating for zayda steel. Seeing her at dreamwave for the first time really made a big impression, and shes definitely living up to the hype. Her killing it at marigolds first show is exactly what the world needed to see. Obviously there are still improvements to be made, but for only training for a year, and the level she is at, the sky is the limit for the real deal."
