Jade is built like She Hulk and I doubt she can pull off an African accent. Just cause she fine and black don't mean she should be Storm. We already saw that with Halle.
On the flip side, we also saw what Angela Basset and Chadwick (R.I.P.) could do with a (created) African accent. Even if Jade doesn't sound like an actual Naija lady, it doesn't mean that she'll be Akeem & Semi bad.

Why not Monica Ramebeau? Everybody wanting to be Storm like it's the 90s. There's other black super heroes to focus on. It's just lazy typecasting on her own behalf.

In terms of marketability no one for now at least (let's be honest Bianca and Jade's notoriety will bring more bad women to wrestling soon), in terms of bringing in more black eyes to AEW, you would have to sign Trish Adora and give her, but Willow, Athena, Kiera Hogan some shine.
The DMV's very own Trish Adora could be huge if Tony Khan would put her on tv. She draws very good crowds here at home, she can talk, and she has a unique look compared to the rest of the women's division. Even if Tony Khan wanted to shift from Trish's unapologetically Black presentation, he could still lean on her being a military vet.

Teyonna Paris is already Monica Rambeau.
I wouldn't say that Jade wanting to be Storm is lazy typecasting, that's Jade's dream role. She was actually been doing Storm photoshoots before she even went to AEW. Let sis cook.

I know but just an example of a bad fit for a role. Monica can actually morph her size so Jade's build even make sense. She can do what she want but that don't mean everybody has to agree that it works.

Ehh, if one of The Marvels scripts call for Monica's size to change, there's a whole cgi department for that. If they can turn a little white woman into She Hulk, then Teyonna will be fine.
The bolded part is the only part that matters, tbh. If Jade wants to play Storm, then let her try out for the part. It's her dream, not ours.

I believe Willow has ‘the look’ just like Jade to bring in a new fanbase but in a different way. Besides that look on IG and find a new one, can’t be that hard
Lol

If these two headline a Wrestlemania, I am definitely making that trip!
