Thunder Rosa is determined to get back to the top.
In August 2022, Thunder Rosa was forced to relinquish the AEW Women’s World Championship due to a back injury. She missed over a year, and she returned in December 2023. On the January 20 episode of AEW Collision, Rosa had her first singles match since August 2022; she defeated Queen Aminata.
In a tweet, AEW shared a video in which Thunder Rosa was asked what it felt like to be back in action.
“You seriously asking me that question? I left as a champion, and you’re asking me how do I feel to be back in the ring? I’ve been walking in the shadows for a long, long time,” Thunder Rosa said. “All of you girls say that you’re walking in the darkness, that you are lost, that you don’t get an opportunity. I was on the top of my career, and life and circumstances took away from me. Now, I have to come and work from the bottom to get back to the top.
“I’ve been waiting for you guys to ask me a question. Where were you when I needed you guys? Where were you, to ask me the real questions? How I feel about being in the ring? I feel strong, I feel empowered, I feel like I never left. I never left. Just remember that.
