Kylie Rae

[5.0] "Kylie Rae has two completely different careers. She was good prior to her WWE days even though she has a very short time learning but she was picking it up. Since joining the WWE she was quite boring and below average worker in Evolve but I wish her next move will be better"

[10.0] "If you ask me, Kylie Rae is the best female wrestler in the US indie scene. She is the one I would call GOAT. Her wrestling is just as good, or often better, than wreatling I see on television. Her character work is pure perfection as everything she does and says makes perfect sense. Her timing and selling are factors that would make her stand out even without the over the top anime gimmick. It brings me joy to see that she got the WWE ID contract."

[6.0] "It's a shame she's never been able to put together a run of substance anywhere, because there IS clearly a lot of talent there, but she can just never sustain it, which makes it hard to rate her very highly."

[5.0] "She's athletic but her character was always Great Value Bayley. It's was unfortunate timing. Her match quality wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. I also don't know the specifics of her issues but constantly dropping out of matches and promotions isn't going to get you very far and in her case it regressed her career by several years. I feel bad for her because mental health comes first. As a fan, I can't stay invested in someone I'm not sure is even going to show up."

[8.0] "I think Kylie has a great character which gives her opponents a lot to work with. In the ring she can get a good performance out of just about anyone which makes WWE putting her in the WWE ID program smart. She retired in late 2020 due to mental health issue. Hope she is in a better place in that respect and she can finally have a good run with a major promotion"

[8.0] "Kylie is a solid worker in the ring and brings a great energy to any match shes in. If you want to know what you're in for, I recommend checking out her match with Queen Aminata from DPW You Already Know ('25). If you like bluey or at least think the bit is funny, you'll enjoy this match."

[10.0] "I am a little biased because I have had the pleasure of meeting Kylie Rae several times, and she has been super nice to me. Without that, though, I would still rate her 8.5-9. Because of her, I have attended a lot of indie shows this year, and she is always one of the highlights whenever she has been on the card. Super reliable, strong character, able to generate sympathy, super body control, surprising power, GREAT selling - one time, at a small Warrior Wrestling/Pro Wrestling Ventures show in Chicago against Stephanie Vaquer, she was selling her neck throughout the post-show meet-and-greet, and to this day I do not know if it was legitimate, haha! Let us not downplay how hard it must be, too, to be manic depressive and always have to wear a smile. As a depressive myself, I really appreciate it. She always puts on a great show regardless of crowd size, match constellation, or gender of opponent. My only criticism is that, sometimes, she plays the heel for no reason other than to make her opponent seem like more of a face. For example, the GCW match against Allie Katch before the big Hammerstein Ballroom show; Allie Katch was tasked with getting over as a babyface for her match with Ruby Soho, so Kylie, who herself had just recently returned to the ring and whom I was really excited to see, kinda arbitrarily started heeling it up, flipping off the crowd, etc. I think she is selfless and would rather get her opponent over, but in the grand scheme of the flow of a show, it would benefit her more to play face vs. face than to switch sides without a clear kayfabe motivation."

"At only 30 years old and 6 years experience, she has a bright future ahead of her. Some of the best in ring talent I? ve ever seen in the time I? ve been watching wrestling plus a relatable personality that resonates with any crowd she performs in front of. Been following her career since 2016 and, in my opinion, has become one of my all time favorites."

[9.0] "Honestly, this woman is pretty damn good in the ring from the limited matches/highlights I've seen from her over the last few years. I also remember her having a really good Fatal 4 Way match at Double or Nothing 2019 as well. She's also a wonderfully hot/attractive woman with an optimistic attitude that she commits with 100% under her character. Hopefully, Kylie Rae continues to stay healthy for a LONG period of time, and that we eventually see her in WWE or in AEW where she deserves to be showcased in the big spotlight. Kylie is just 30 years old too, so she is still young."

[8.0] "Wrestling with NWA currently at the time of this comment. She is a great wrestler with the world ahead of her, NWA seems to be a great fit for her big personality and above average wrestling style. Haven't seen any amazing matches with her in it, but she is solid in the ring especially for the short matches of NWA being able to put a lot of emotion and story into such a short amount of time. Here's hoping to bigger things for her."

[8.0] "A great wrestler who still has a lot of career ahead of her. I don't think he's retired from wrestling, but according to various sources he's preparing to go to AAA Worldwide"

[9.0] "Kylie Rae was too pure for the wrestling business. I met her only once, and we talked like we had known each other for years. She was such a dedicated performer who played her smiley happy character to a tee and was a tremendous come from behind babyface. Such a shame she's decided to call it a day for now, but her long term health comes first, and hopefully one day when she's ready, we'll be graced by her happy smile once again. MARCH 2021 EDIT: And I'm happy to note that she's coming back in the summer! We'll see how this goes for her, but hopefully well, as she deserves a long happy career."

[8.0] "Shame she retired. She was a pretty entertaining performer that was a top worker in any promotion she passed through. Best of luck to her."

[8.0] "Kylie Rae was a great wrestler. Comparisons to Bayley, but she was so different. She was a great boyfriend, skilled in the ring, and good on the mic, but seemed to have personal problems ans maybe she can't get along with people backstage. It will be sad to see her gone from wresing since she was quite good"

[8.0] "Ray of sunshine! The way she carries herself and her look have my attention every time and she's fluent in the ring as a grounded wrestler!"

[9.0] "Very underrated. She's quite good in the ring, is a solid promo, is a great babyface and is beloved in the midwest. She may have left AEW, but she's doing great in Impact."

[5.0] "I have to say that I am a little sour on Kylie Rae right off the bat because her name sounds too similar to Kay Lee Ray, another female wrestler who's working in the industry currently. Even though her moniker is half her real name, you would have thought that Kylie would have done some research before settling on something so similar. But that aside, she feels like a discount bin Bayley. The huggy, smiley "I want to be everyone's friend" thing is nauseating to me. She seems good enough in the ring, but I have not seen anything that has stood out to me as of yet. With all the talented female wrestlers working in the business today, I'm surprised that she was one of AEW's first signees."

[8.0] "Kylie Rae is already a great wrestler and is still rapidly improving as someone who only had her first match in 2016. Her strengths are her lovable personality, outstanding selling, babyface fire, athleticism, and crisp ring-work. Kylie's also versatile enough to effortlessly switch between acting goofy, gathering sympathy, or mounting a fiery comeback. She's able to adapt her style to work with both smaller and larger opponents, including intergender matches with men. If she continues to expand her moveset and improve her promo skills the sky is the limit."
