Rose, meanwhile, has issued the following short statement, saying that while she hates having to cancel appearances, showing up at Striking Distance would have been negligent of her:-

An All Elite Wrestling original, Rose was introduced as one of the company's first signings in February 2019. The original Double Or Nothing pay-per-view brought her first match, as she contested a four-way with Britt Baker, Kylie Rae, and Awesome Kong, and she quickly became a fixture at the top of her division soon after.

Winning the Women's World Title by defeating Riho at the second time of asking in February 2020, Rose reigned for 101 days until that May, when she was felled by Hikaru Shida.
