Thunder Rosa Cleared for AEW Return

One big thing

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa announced on Busted Open Radio that she’s been medically cleared to return to in-ring action after suffering a concussion in August.

Why it matters

Rosa’s return could shake up AEW’s women’s division, potentially leading to new storylines and matchups. Her absence has been felt in the roster, and her comeback might reinvigorate fan interest in women’s wrestling in AEW.

The details

• Rosa suffered a concussion during a match on AEW Collision on August 31.
• She competed against Hikaru Shida, Serena Deeb, and Queen Aminata in a number one contender’s match for the TBS Championship.
• Rosa has been sidelined from in-ring action since the incident.

What they’re saying

“I want to thank the AEW medical [team] and everyone that was involved — I’m finally cleared,” Rosa stated on Busted Open Radio.

Between the lines

Rosa used her platform to raise awareness about concussion safety:

“If you feel that you have a concussion, please go to your doctor. If you are an athlete, please let your coaches know that this is important.”

The big picture

Concussion awareness in professional wrestling has increased in recent years, with promotions like AEW implementing stricter protocols to protect their athletes.

What’s next

While Rosa is cleared to compete, it’s unclear when she’ll make her in-ring return or what role she’ll play in current AEW storylines.
