What Went Wrong With THAT Awkward Thunder Rosa Segment On Last Week's Dynamite (AEW News)
What happened with Thunder Rosa, Penelope Ford, and Megan Bayne on last week's Dynamite.
Thunder Rosa, Megan Bayne, and Penelope Ford's awkward in-ring segment on last week's AEW Dynamite was a product of miscommunication and a lack of instructions.
Fightful Select reports that none of Ford, Bayne, and Rosa have any issues working together following the segment, which saw Rosa attempt to run Bayne and Ford off following Megan's win over Kris Statlander. Thunder Rosa hit the ring with a steel chair, leading to an awkward moment where it looked like she was going to swing the chair, but didn't. A strange tug of war with the chair ensued before Bayne and Ford left.
The segment's odd execution left the impression that something had gone wrong. Per Fightful's sources, it was likely the result of a coach or producer failing to communicate instructions on where the talent should position themselves.
Fightful also dismissed online speculation that Ford and Bayne had "went into business for themselves" by not reacting to Thunder Rosa's run-in. AEW sources have shot this narrative down, while revealing that the segment was spoken about afterwards, with there being no residual issues.
The Dynamite angle was presumably to build to a future tag match pitting Bayne and Ford against Statlander and Rosa, potentially on an upcoming AEW pay-per-view.
Bayne, a recent AEW signing, entered a newly formed alliance with Penelope through Ford's Dynamite interference, while Rosa has been involved in fleeting backstage interactions with Megan.
Bayne and Statlander's Dynamite bout was billed as a battle of the two biggest powerhouses in AEW's women's division. Lasting around nine minutes, its relative brevity and interference-based finish left the impression that it won't be the last time they go one on one.
