Report: More Details On AEW's Thunder Rosa Injury, Heat With Women
Women's champion is legit injured, has heat with multiple top women on roster.
AEW Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa is officially on the shelf, but she's also in hot water with multiple women who are looking to win the interim title at All Out next weekend.
During Dynamite Wednesday night, Rosa announced that she was injured and that an interim champion would be crowned at the upcoming PPV. Later that night, it was announced that Toni Storm, Dr. Britt Baker DMD, Jamie Hayter and Hikaru Shida would battle in a four-way match for the interim title.
Fightful Select reports that Rosa has heat with both Baker and Hayter, with the issue with Britt stretching back more than a year. The two have attempted to remain professional and continue working together when necessary as part of their respective jobs. The issue with Hayter is more recent, stemming from Rosa breaking Jamie's nose in a match. Most of the heat on Thunder is due to her working stiff.
Fightful reported that before Rosa was injured, the plan for All Out was for Storm to win the AEW Women's World Championship. However, they have not learned if that's still the case with the plans changing to it now being a four-way for the interim title.
As you might expect, talent have diverging views on Rosa, with several saying that she has put in the work to get other women booked, while others say she has developed an ego and is difficult to work with.
Although it's speculated that Rosa's injury is related to bulging discs, that has not been confirmed, nor has the extent of the injury or how long she will be out. The only thing confirmed is that this is a legit injury.
