Thunder Rosa is no stranger to battling through adversity. Known for her fiery persona and take-no-prisoners attitude, the former AEW Women’s World Champion has set the wrestling world ablaze both inside and outside the ring. But ever since a debilitating back injury sidelined her from in-ring action, rumors of her return have been swirling like wildfire. Fans are impatiently waiting for her to lace up her boots once again—but Thunder Rosa isn’t playing that game.
Addressing the speculation head-on during a recent episode of "Busted Open Radio", Thunder Rosa laid down the law: “I am not cleared. But when I am, you’ll hear it from me.” It was a statement that left no room for interpretation. She’s still on the mend, and she’s not making any premature promises about getting back in the ring before her body is ready.
Thunder Rosa's unexpected departure in 2022—right when she was blazing a trail as AEW Women’s Champion—sent shockwaves through the industry. Back injuries are no joke, and Rosa’s was no different, causing pain so severe that it knocked her out of her prime. With every passing day, fans have been chomping at the bit, speculating when their favorite badass would return to reclaim her throne.
But Rosa isn’t rushing anything. She’s aware of the pressure to get back in the game, but she's also smart enough to know that coming back too soon could mean disaster. In typical Thunder Rosa fashion, she put her foot down and made it clear that her health is her top priority. “People want to see me back, but if I’m not 100%, I’m not doing it,” she said. “I’m not taking that risk.”
Wrestling fans can be fickle, and the rumor mill? Even worse. But Thunder Rosa isn’t about to let whispers and rumors dictate her path. While some critics have been throwing shade, questioning whether she’s been taking too long to return, Rosa’s not having it. “I’m not cleared, and until I am, people need to stop with the speculations,” she stated, shutting down any talk of her rushing back for a quick pop or taking shortcuts.
And let's not forget: Thunder Rosa’s absence has left a gaping hole in the AEW women's division. Her rivals? They’ve had a field day in her absence. But once Rosa’s back, there’s no doubt she’ll be looking to reclaim her crown, settle some scores, and remind everyone why she was the dominant force in the division.
Even though she’s not physically in the ring, Thunder Rosa hasn’t exactly been hiding in the shadows. She’s been lighting up AEW as a commentator, flexing her bilingual skills on Spanish-language broadcasts, and showing fans a new side of her personality. And outside of AEW? Rosa’s been running the show at Mission Pro Wrestling, her all-women’s promotion that’s been making waves and putting a spotlight on female talent in the industry.
Her work in these areas shows that Thunder Rosa isn’t just a wrestler—she’s a brand. She’s expanding her empire while waiting for her body to heal, making sure that her presence is still felt in the wrestling world even when she’s not competing.
Here’s the real kicker: when Thunder Rosa does finally return, it’s going to be explosive. She’s hinted that she’ll be back with a vengeance, and there’s no doubt she’s keeping tabs on all the action from the sidelines. The second she’s medically cleared, expect a storm like no other.
“I will make the announcement when the time is right,” Rosa declared. She’s made it clear—there won’t be a whisper or a hint until it’s go-time. And when she does step through those ropes again, everyone from fans to rivals better be ready.
Until then? Thunder Rosa is biding her time, healing up, and preparing for what could be one of the most highly anticipated returns in AEW history. Fans may be impatient, but this is Thunder Rosa we’re talking about—a woman who’s never half-stepped in her career. When she’s back, she’ll be back for good, ready to take on anyone standing in her way.
So, buckle up, wrestling fans. The thunder is coming—just not yet. But when it does, everyone’s going to feel the storm.
