Top Independent Star Seemingly Rules Out WWE Move

Over the last seven days, a lot has been reported regarding the future of Thunder Rosa, with many speculating that she could have dropped the NWA Women’s Championship to set up a move to WWE.

This was followed up by a report by Dave Meltzer which seemed to suggest that Thunder Rosa, despite being under NWA contract through 2021, told officials that she is interested in signing for WWE.

During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Thunder Rosa seemingly ruled out a move to WWE, noting that it would mean that she isn’t able to work on projects she is passionate about outside of the company:

“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.”

Even if WWE is interested in Thunder Rosa, the fact that she still wants to work on her projects outside of the ring like MMA and his own wrestling promotion likely means that she won’t be joining the promotion.
