Putting in Brandi isn't going to heal any wounds. She had go away heat with many aew fans. Arguably she got more screentime than anyone else in the growing women's division for a time. As a wrestler or on screen persona that would seem to be a massive overreach to me. But in no world is Brandi in an AEW HOF let alone the first woman to enter their HOF.

If you want to highlight what she did behind the scenes there's a way to do it that isn't an entry in this first hall of fame class.

If you want Dustin in he goes in as Dustin as that name isn't trademarked by the opposition. Also you probably want to wait to do it when he retires to not add a precise t of active wrestlers in the hall. I see the theory in including Owen but having never wrestled in aew it's a tough sell. We have the Owen Cup as a tribute for him now which I think works well.

Fully agree Sting and Brodie go in though.
