Former AEW Champion Reflects On Injury Almost Ending Their Career

AEW

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa has reflected on her back injury almost ending her career last year.

Thunder Rosa has not wrestled in any capacity since August 2022 when she was forced to relinquish the AEW Women’s World Championship due to a serious back injury.

Despite returning to the road to be part of the Spanish commentary team for AEW, the timeline for Rosa’s in-ring return has been unclear.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Thunder Rosa commented on her excitement to return to in-ring action. She said:

“I had to learn so many other things to not go f**king insane. Because wrestling was taken away from me because of an injury that almost ended my career.”

“The fact that I wwe able to run three miles without pain this last Thursday or Wednesday, the fact that I’m able to lift weights, to sleep, to sit down, to sit up, to be on an airplane without pain, it’s beautiful.”

“The fact of the matter that I get another opportunity to get my time and to get what belongs to me, it’s a blessing.”

“I’m not gonna let anyone, and I’m putting everybody on notice, to tell me otherwise.”

“I’ve been through f**king hell, and I don’t care if I have to go through f**king hell to get what I need to get because I am going to get it. I’m f**king Thunder Rosa. La Mera Mera.”

“They call me La Mera Mera for a f**king reason, and that is not because I’m a wimp and I like to complain.”

“No, it’s because I work my ass off to get where I want, to get what I deserve, to get what I was born for, and that’s to be excellent,”

There is currently no word on when Thunder Rosa will make her in-ring return as of this writing.

All Elite Wrestling will present AEW Full Gear 2023 this Saturday, November 18 from the LA Forum. The show will be headlined by MJF defending the AEW World Title against Jay White.
