Skye Blue, AEW’s rising‑star high‑flyer, teams up with Cubby Thompson, the hard‑hitting powerhouse from the indie circuit, to deliver a fresh, unstoppable brand of tag‑team wrestling that blends aerial artistry with raw, relentless aggression.
The most significant intersection of their careers occurred in the tag team division of Ring of Honor (ROH) in late 2023 and early 2024. As the women’s tag division in ROH began to flourish, Skye Blue—at the time aligned with the villainous "The Outcasts"—and the rising indie sensation Cubbi Thompson found themselves across the ring from one another.
However, their most memorable pairing wasn't as enemies, but as allies. During a series of tapings for AEW Dark and ROH on HonorClub, the booking saw Skye (in her face-painted, edgy phase) mentor the younger Thompson through a tournament setting. The dynamic was unexpected: The Gotham City vigilante side of Skye paired with the bright, plucky resilience of Thompson created a visual and stylistic contrast that audiences loved.
The "Blue Cub" Connection Fans affectionately dubbed their brief partnership "The Blue Cub Connection." During a standout match against The Renegade Twins (Charlette and Robyn), Skye and Cubbi demonstrated perfect chemistry. Skye would use her size (5’6”) to ground opponents with a backstabber, while Thompson would spring off the ropes for a missile dropkick. Their signature sequence involved a "Hart Attack" variation, with Thompson launching off Skye’s back into a clothesline.
While the team never captured gold together, their matches served as a masterclass for young wrestlers: How to use your partner’s strengths to hide your weaknesses.
