Thunder Rosa Addresses AEW Status: I’m Still Here

One Big Thing

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa directly responded to fans questioning her employment status with AEW, emphasizing her continued presence on the company’s Saturday programming.

Why It Matters

Rosa’s clarification comes amid growing speculation about her role in AEW, highlighting the challenges wrestlers face when they’re primarily featured on less-watched shows like “Collision” and “Rampage.”

By the numbers

• Last appeared on “Dynamite” on April 3, 2023
• Most recent match: November 30 on “Rampage” vs. Harley Cameron
• “Collision” viewership has stayed under 500,000 viewers for six months
• Recent “Collision” hit record low of 157,000 viewers on September 6

Direct Quote

Stop asking me if I still work in AEW ’cause I still do,” Rosa stated on “Busted Open Radio.” “I’m usually on ‘Collision’ so just watch me and if you can’t watch me live, watch me on YouTube.

What’s Next

Rosa continues to perform regularly on AEW’s Saturday programming, though her absence from “Dynamite” and major pay-per-views has impacted her visibility with mainstream audiences.

The Bottom Line

While Thunder Rosa remains an active member of the AEW roster, her placement on lower-rated shows has created a disconnect with fans who primarily watch AEW’s flagship program “Dynamite.”
