Thunder Rosa Ahead of Return on AEW Collision: I Have Nothing to Prove to Anyone
Thunder Rosa made her long-awaited AEW return this past Wednesday on Dynamite. Now, she’s set to return to the ring against Julia Hart on Collision.
“I’m excited. There’s like five different feelings I’m feeling right now,” Rosa said on Busted Open Radio. “I feel a knot in my stomach. I’m just nervous, it’s always good to have nerves right before a big return.”
She continued, “This would be the second time that I’ve been gone for a long period of time. I’ve been out for eight months. I can tell you therapy, physical therapy was key for me to come back the way I came back. It was rough and just the fact that I had to take smaller steps to even do like simple things. It took me a while and it was very scary so now the pressure is on even more for myself, because I have nothing to prove to anyone. I want to make this very clear, everything that I’m doing I’m doing to prove to myself that I still got it, that I deserve this spot.”
June 12, 2025, was the last time Thunder Rosa stepped inside an AEW ring. Fresh off unsuccessfully challenging Athena for the ROH Women’s Championship at Supercard of Honor, Rosa appeared in the Casino Gauntlet match the next night at AEW: All In.
