Injured AEW Star Says In-Ring Return Would Be Amazing If Given The Chance

AEW

An injured AEW star says their in-ring return would be amazing if given the chance.

Ahead of AEW All Out 2022, Thunder Rosa took time off from in-ring competition due to a serious back injury. She later relinquished the AEW Women’s World Championship after the company initially crowned an interim champion.

Despite not making her return to the ring, Rosa has been doing spanish commentary during her absence and made a brief return on the May 10 edition of AEW Dynamite to tease the premiere of Collision.

In an interview with Bleacher Report’s “Doc” Chris Mueller, Rosa discussed her road to recovery and told fans to stay tuned for her in-ring return. She said:

“It’s been a long road, I will say. From the beginning, there was a lot of speculation about my injury. But I was always very clear and very honest about what was happening to me.”

“Everything has been documented on my YouTube. It was physical and mental, all this rehab that I’ve been receiving.”

“Some days were really positive, some other days were not as positive, but that’s part of the recovery part of having an injury such as the one that I still have.”

“Lately, there’s been more of a bright light on it, because as my MRI read, I don’t have the tears in my back anymore.”

“Now I’m able to train without pain, with compound training, as well as I’ve been jumping in the ring in the last three weeks.”

“So, I’m excited about the advancements that we have, and now I’m excited about the possibility of returning to the ring. Again, it’s just been giving me a perspective about the opportunity to wrestle, because it’s a privilege if I get to come back.”

Making it clear that she is not trying to rush her return to the ring, Rosa stated:

“It’s been almost a year since I stepped in the ring last in AEW. So it will be amazing if I get that opportunity and to have another match, or more matches, in the future. Like I said, I’m very hopeful.”

“I stepped in the ring last Tuesday. I actually took my son with me to help do cardio. I’m training, I have a doctor who’s a professional trainer for athletes in San Antonio, and I have another physiotherapist I work with when I was doing MMA and professional wrestling.”

“So, they’re helping me to get to the best physically as possible. I’m not talking about ‘Oh, I’m gonna come back with a six-pack’ and everything. I have to come back healthy.”

“In the ring, what we do, it’s extremely dangerous. I always pray for my opponent and pray for me to come back the same way that we come in, and sometimes we don’t. So I’m praying that this time will be positive.”

As previously reported, Thunder Rosa recently stated her goal was to be cleared in the near future.
