Thunder Rosa Back Injury Update & Comments on Britt Baker’s Statement

As noted before, Thunder Rosa has been out of action for AEW since this past September due to her suffering a spinal-related injury. During her time away, Rosa has been working in AEW’s Spanish commentary team since this past February.

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast had Rosa as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rosa providing an update on the status of her back injury.

“Well, that’s a question that everybody asked me during the signing. Unfortunately, I wasn’t cleared and I don’t think I’m gonna be cleared any time soon. I need another MRI.”

Rosa also gave her thoughts about the comments made by Britt Baker on the debut episode of AEW’s All Access show regarding the bad blood between the two backstage in the company.

“Like I said in my song (that I sang earlier), if they don’t speak good about me, it’s good because I send them blessings.

It’s something that I’ll say and I’ll continue to say. If I wouldn’t have had that (Lights Out) match (with Britt Baker), then a lot of people wouldn’t know who Thunder Rosa is, you know? You gotta give respect to who gives respect. That moment in our careers, we both helped each other to do something different and we were able to elevate each other to a point where we are where we are, right? I mean for so long, I was on the indies grinding and trying to make a name for myself and going on Busted Open so people knew who I was. Knocking on doors and people shutting them completely in my face but that night, I was able to do something beautiful with her and I cherish that. There’s a moment in my career I really cherish and it’s that because it changed the perspective on women’s wrestling in so many ways. But, again, there’s a lot of controversy going on. I am not gonna say anything because I don’t have to say anything. Like I said, I’ve said it multiple times, I’m just gonna send them blessings and there’s something very important that somebody told me and when somebody says something hurtful, when you have the buttons, when you button your shirt, you just let it go to where the button is. It cannot penetrate your heart and penetrate your mind and I’m just gonna keep going and try to be a better person for me, for you guys, for my family and that’s it. That’s all that I can do.”
