3. Thunder Rosa Gets Shorted For Time... Again

Thunder Rosa, who has barely appeared on-camera throughout her Women's World Title reign, got another short, short, short segment on last night's episode of Dynamite.

The content was solid. Rosa came out without her signature makeup and ripped Serena Deeb, whom she claims isn't championship material because of her petty, complaining behaviour. She was frank and open without the paint. When she puts it on, however, a switch is going to flip - and they're going to go to war.

Rosa was good here. Unfortunately, the segment was so hurried that her entrance music hit before she was finished, meaning she had to awkwardly get her final few lines out while it played.

No sign of Deeb here, either, which is disappointing. A segment that perfectly encapsulates the problems with this under-served program that should have been one of the best in the division's history.
