5 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (May 12)

Downs...

5. A So-So Squash

Thunder Rosa
AEW

A functional bridge to an eventual NWA Women's World Championship rematch with Serena Deeb, Thunder Rosa vs. Jazmin Allure would have been more at home on Dark than Dynamite.

This was a nondescript squash. Though Allure offered Rosa little resistance, there was nothing particularly emphatic or memorable about how the short mauling went down before the more tenured wrestler took the win via modified Fire Thunder Driver. It gets another W on the record and keeps Rosa moving forward, but again: the YouTube shows exist for matches like this.
