10 Most Heavily Protected Wrestlers In AEW Right Now

10. Thunder Rosa

There is a reason why Thunder Rosa is being kept on the back burner in AEW, but at the same time, being kept impressively dominant.

Reports have stated that 'Big Bicep Tony' has pencilled in Thunder Rosa for a major push in 2022 and based on her history with the current AEW Women's Champion, Britt Baker, it makes perfect sense. Their brutal Lights Out match earlier this year was a critical smash and was as bloody as it was dramatic.

Rosa picked up the win, but as it was unsanctioned, it made little impact on her rankings. Since then, she has been booked mainly on AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation, racking up the wins and keeping her as one of the dominant forces in the women's division. She had a great showing at the Casino Battle Royal at All Out 2021, finishing runner up to the debuting Ruby Soho.

Fans are clamouring for AEW to make further strides with the women's division, and whilst Britt Baker's ascension has been meteoric, it still feels like it needs a genuine legacy feud to full establish it. Thunder Rosa vs Britt Baker threatens to be not only that, but a career defining one for both women when it happens.
