Details On How AEW And NWA Began Working Together

All Elite Wrestling an the NWA will be holding a big interpromotional match at All Out this Saturday. NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa will be challenging Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women’s Championship. It is not every day that promotions work together like this and now we have more details about how the relationship came to be.

Fightful Select (subscription required) is reporting that the entire deal to bring Thunder Rosa in was constructed between Billy Corgan and AEW. Rosa was said to have wanted to be respectful towards NWA but doesn’t think anything is surprising in how the deal was made.

Rosa first appeared on the August 22 episode of Dynamite, challenging Shida for her title. Their match was quickly signed for All Out for September 5. Rosa will be making her in-ring debut tonight on AEW Dynamite. AEW made the announcement of her debut match earlier today on Twitter.

Rosa has been the NWA Women’s Champion since winning the title from Allysin Kay at Hard Times. Meanwhile, Shida has been AEW Women’s Champion since beating Nyla Rose for the title at Double or Nothing back in May.
