Thunder Rosa reflects on her return.

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa missed well over a year due to a back injury, and she started a new chapter of her career when she returned to the ring in December 2023.   

Speaking with Denise Salcedo for Instinct Culture after the AEW All In Texas: Countdown to On Sale event, Thunder Rosa discussed her return to AEW following her injury.

“It’s been a rediscovery as a professional wrestler, and also as a person, of what is important for me, what I want to leave as a legacy after I’m done wrestling, and also my role in the women’s division in AEW, and definitely working Saturdays [with AEW Collision] has allowed me to really reinvent, try new stuff, and also to reach out to everybody that works on ROH and Collision and just create really strong bonds with a lot of the girls in the back. I want to thank Deonna Purrazzo for really bringing that fire back from babyface Thunder Rosa. She was really important for me this year, for me to become who I became, and she challenged me a lot in terms of becoming a better babyface, so I want to thank [her] for that. I just want to thank everybody,” Rosa said.
