Making her NWA Powerrr debut this week was Thunder Rosa. After a couple of vignettes last episode, here we got to get our first glimpse at what this female superstar was about. And boy, she put on a firecracker performance.

While Thunder Rosa has pretty much become the NWA’s top female heel from this one solitary appearance, it was the aggression shown by this Mexican grappler that was most impressive.

In her match against Ashley Vox, the 28-year-old showcased a gnarly ‘n’ nasty mean streak that instantly made her stand out from the pack. Whether it was in her striking game, her holds, her trash-talking, her hair pulls, her post-match attack on Vox, or even laying out NWA Women’s Champion Allysin Kay and getting Marti Belle to turn heel, Thunder Rosa put herself on the map as one of the most impactful and devastating heels in the NWA, period.

Best of all, Thunder Rosa looked like she was having an absolute blast through all of her villainous antics.
