Thunder Rosa Will Go With The Company That Will Allow Her To Continue Side Projects

Much has been made about the future of Thunder Rosa since she lost the NWA Women’s Championship last Tuesday on UWN Primetime Live. 

Billy Corgan confirmed that Rosa is under contract with the NWA through 2021, killing any speculation of her next move for the time being. 

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Rosa backed up Billy’s comments but did hint at what she’s looking for when she becomes a free agent. 

“I am signed with NWA and have another year with them. When it’s my time, it’s gonna be my time. When my time comes, I’m not going to come as just another person on the roster, mark my words. I’m coming for everything and I’m coming to be on top, just like I did this first time. My value is going to be bigger because I’m going to be a better wrestler, cut better promos, my body is going to be chiseled, I’m going to have a better MMA record. I’m gonna be like, ‘This is all I have to offer, what do you have to offer me?’ That’s what I want when I go to a bigger company. I want them to want me,” she said. “Because of all the projects I have on the side, it has to be a place where I’m able to continue working on what I’m working on. If I’m able to do it with NWA, then NWA. If I’m able to do it with AEW, probably. Now knowing what WWE is doing with things we have on the side, it’s going to be very difficult for me to work on my personal projects. Sometimes, those personal projects are the things that bring you the most joy in life. I don’t want that joy to be taken away from money. If that’s what I have to sacrifice, I’d rather be happy than be a slave.”

Rosa mentioned running Mission Pro Wrestling as her biggest passion in terms of side projects along with her MMA career. Rosa recently mentioned that she might be taking time off from wrestling to focus on her MMA training.
