Statlander has been in a weird spot, and not just because she claims to be the Galaxy's Greatest Alien. Physically, she's one of the bigger women on the roster which is something that Jim Ross makes sure to bring up every time she has a match. The rest of the women, however, are smaller or leaner than both Statlander and Rose.
It would have made a little more sense to have the alien challenge for the title a little further down the road. It would provide a little more intrigue surrounding a potential title change. Since she's the first person to attempt to dethrone the Native Beast, however, the likelihood of doing so is slim.
Rose has been presented as her moniker suggests - a beast. It took a few tries, but she eventually wrested the title from Riho. It's way too soon for her to lose the title but Statlander will put up a fight. The promotion has been adding talent each month and due to how the roster has been presented over the last few months, it makes sense for the Alien and the Native Beast to square off for the title at this time.
Prediction: Rose wins and sends the Galaxy's Greatest Alien into the stratosphere.
