25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2025
20. Swing And A Miss For Thunder Rosa, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford
There's historically never been quite enough focus on the AEW women's division since the company launched, and while 2025 reflects yet more enormous strides in the right direction, a lack of of organisation and/or production wrought disastrous consequences for for Thunder Rosa, Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford and Kris Statlander in February.
The spot was seemingly simple enough, and maybe that's why it stuck out as such an embarrassment for all involved. The heels were laying a beating on Statlander, prompting Thunder Rosa to arrive on the scene with a chair and chase them off. Only, they didn't powder, forcing the former World Champion to simply hold the chair aloft and wield it, sort of, in their direction until they calmly left the ring. Ford was so unbothered that she appeared to wrestle the chair away from Rosa, who couldn't let go lest she look weaker still. The subsequent tug of war was excruciating.
It looked as though they'd successfully called the babyface's bluff, and as with all flubs in wrestling, it happened during a period of time standing completely still. Per all reliable reports, it was completely by accident rather than a case of work becoming shoot or an attempt to bury anybody, but talent were left paying the price for multiple damaging miscommunications.
